Cheat sheet vs. Doing Exams

I haven't made a cheat sheet yet, and so would it still be worth it to make one now? Or should I find some good ones on the internet and mix them together and just do practice exams instead? A bit confused  :-\

I would reccomend just getting a copy of someone else cheat sheet and just make it A4 then do as many practice exams as possible. Every error you make you can put on another A4 sheet then sticky tape those to sheets together.
I think your main priority should be doing as many practice exams as possible, I heard that 80% of the questions on the exams are practically repeated (different values and slight rewording).

Yeah I was pretty much thinking the same thing, I don't think it would be that wise to make one now.  And I didn't think it would be that many similar questions wow.  Better get started then lol

Just make/find one and familiarise yourself with it..you don't want to rush through your cheat sheet and look for a formula or definition in the exam

I heard it from one of Colin Hopkins revision lecture who is a physics boss. If you do enough practice exams you will notice a repetition of questions since they have a fairly small area in which to test you.
I'm not sure which years they would just repeat them, it could be even further back then 2002 (I know Colin Hopkins have some questions back from the 80's).
Back basically with the questions, 80% are repeated and the other 20% is to distinguish between the best).
