I will be having my semester exam in 2 months time and I am not at all prepared yet. Can anyone tell me how does Cambridge A level semester exam was like, was it hard? Is it enough for me to learn everything in 2 months. Btw the subjects Im taking is Math, Further Math, Economics and Physics. Im most worried about my pure math as the teachers said P3 will be tested. P3 is actually our A2 paper but now I am only in AS. I have only started my A levels in January this year and the stress level is already damn high. So can anyone give me tips on how to ace this semester exam, does the teacher just give past year questions and was the semester exam hard. I really need to do well in this exam🙏🙏Thanks so much guys🫡

actually sem exam varies between different schools since it's set internally and not by cambridge, so asking in this server isnt a great idea. im your senior and i take the same subs so i figured i can answer

personally sem exam had an okay difficulty for me, i think physics was a bit harder but it varies based on whoever sets the paper like normal exams. and yes the questions come from past papers. (phys comes from cambridge pre-u sometimes tho lmao) sem exam isnt actually that important, it just tells you how well you're doing rn dont stress too much about it

please dont say where our school is you can ask more in dms if you want 😭

i am also your senior, but from my intake's semester exam experience, some people were too chill so they didn't do well, and doing pyp helps cuz my physics teacher said that Cambridge like to reuse the same question, err if your lecturer allows you guys to whatsapp them to ask question please do so, cuz my lecturer didn't answer a queston in the gc and that question came out the next day during the exam
