thank you so it deffo possible to go from a 6 to a 9, because the only reason why my grade is actually low is because ive been living abroad and have to learn new content, so i should learn the content first and do past papers and learn from my mistakes?

Ask your teachers for your maths papers back so you can have a look where you've gone wrong. Look how you've gone wrong. Is it: Mistake- you know how to do the question but you've put the wrong number in the equation (e.g put sin in the cosine rule and done a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcsinA instead of cosA). If you've made a mistake then you presumably know the topic, but you've just had a small slip up. Maybe have a look on one of the useful maths resources websites listed below to help with your revision.
Method- you've used the wrong method to answer the question and you've been given the wrong answer. If you've used the wrong method, have a look at the correct method and re-attempt the question. If you are able to get the correct answer then that's brill. Practice these sorts of questions using the resources down below.
Not knowing the content- Re-learn the content (using some of the suggestions listed below) and then re-attempt using the listed resources.
When you are re-learning content, make flashcards/notes on this revision and look over it frequently. Re-learning it once will NOT keep it in your brain for ever:
This shows that the more you look at the content, the more you will remember it.
Useful resources for re-learning content: Hegartymaths (youtube) also has a website but your school needs a paid subscription- has lots of qs and it has genuinely helped Mathswatch (paid) Collins/CGP revision guides Asking your teacher- they are there to help you, after all Also there are various other maths youtubers, if you search the topic you are struggling on there is likely to be a video explaining it
That question should never be asked. You should always start as early as possible and even if it is quite late, it would always be better than no revision at all.
