Six hours a day?! That's insane! Maybe you just over exerted yourself? Maybe try doing half that - three hours a day and see how you get on?

If you have done that much revision properly over 3-4 months, you will be getting 100% in past papers. What type of revision are you doing? Are you doing notes or past papers.

Notes do not do much in terms of revision in my opinion along with my teachers. If you really want to get the most out of revision do past papers, see what the mark schemes want you to say, rinse and repeat, it may be boring but it is far more productive than making notes and highlighting etc, just do past paper after past paper after past paper and you will be fine.
