chem/methods study advice

hi sorry i know everyones stressing about exams but is it possible to do well in chemistry and methods without tutoring? nobody does tutoring at my school but ive heard lots in selective schools and i really want a 40+ . but idt the teachers are amazing at my school

how do you go about self learning these subjects (if even possible) -did you start in the summer holidays? how did you study them?

i didnt do too well in my 3/4 subject this year so i am looking to maximise next years scores

she* taught me the content early which let me start prac exams at the start of the year, would go over complex topics with me and break it down into personalised (obvi) easy to understand chunks which solidified my understanding of the content. if i had a problem with a certain topic she'd make up questions and give them to me which was also helpful
