Past papers for revision

Hello,

I am gonna do my GCSEs in nearly a month and my question is can I just do past papers from now on until my exams? This is because for some of my subjects, like geography, my content is not really good as I have focused more on my core subjects. Would I be fine if I just do past papers throughout the run up? I am just really stressed and frustrated at myself for not spreading my revision across all subjects..😔

Thanks

Doing past papers are great because they do help you identify your weak points, but bear in mind that those exact questions won't come up again. Content-wise, if you're struggling with that, I would suggest that you actually teach yourself the content before moving on to exam questions as there's no use practicing questions on a topic you struggle to recall. Make sure you're also checking the marks chemes at the end to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses
