How to use StemInteract.uk (quick guide)

Each topic page gives you BBC Bitesize notes + past questions by topic + SQA marking schemes + worked answer PDFs. Use them in this order:

  1. Start with one weak topic (don't jump about).
  2. BBC Bitesize first (5 minutes): skim the key ideas + formulas for that topic.
  3. Attempt a question (no notes):
    Calculations: equation -> substitution -> unit.
    Explanations: short, mark-winning sentences.
  4. Mark it with the SQA marking scheme: tick the marking points you earned.
  5. Only then open the Answer PDF: correct in a different colour and rewrite the "ideal" answer.
  6. Make an error log "fix rule": what lost marks + what you'll do next time (e.g. "Convert to SI first", "Draw a free-body diagram", "State relationship then apply").
  7. Do the next question in the same topic straight away. Repeat until mistakes stop.
  8. When you're scoring 70-80%, switch to timed practice and always check: units, signs/directions, powers of 10, sig figs.

Best routine: Bitesize -> Attempt -> Mark -> Fix -> Repeat.
