Urgent help required for GCSE Physics - exam tomorrow!!

DD is doing physics exam tomorrow and is really struggling with revising. She is becoming increasingly frustrated and although we've printed off some past papers for her to work on she really doesnt appear to be getting it. Is there any tecniques she can use to help? (other than relaxation)

TIA

Honestly, if it's tomorrow, she either knows it by now or she doesn't. If there are any formulae etc worth going over just before the exam, she could make a note of them. Otherwise I'd suggest a video and just to wind down.

Past papers are definitely the best thing, especially at GCSE - a lot of the same questions come up every year & have specific words necessary for the marks.

Instead of doing them all religiously at this point, perhaps suggest that she spends an hour or so looking at what comes up most commonly & to revise the necessary terminology that they're looking for in the mark scheme. It's a bit of a shortcut & the best thing you can really do at this stage. If she's getting frustrated it's definitely best not to keep at it all night, so that may be a short, but productive, exercise.
