I typically look on YouTube and type something like "how to get 9 in GCSE [insert subject]"
If I were to give you links for every individual subject, this would be an extremely long post. So instead, I would just give you links to YouTube videos that offers general advice for getting straight 9s at GCSE (so far from the first page of Google):

I'd leave you to find the other videos.
From the above, you should see similar advice being echoed in all the videos:
•
Past papers
•
Flash cards
•
Active recall
•
A very lengthy and intensive timetable
If you need to, I would recommend using Notion (app with AI capabilities) to help you revise or summarise certain topics. It's also good to help you set up a revision timetable, if you don't feel like doing it yourself.

Sciences- Practice papers to find weak topics, then work from least to best topics. You can do this using “physics & maths tutor” which have flashcards, practice papers, definitions, notes for free.
Maths- Practice papers. You can find on physics and & maths tutor
RS- I don’t know your exam board but if it’s AQA i fully recommend the videos Ben Wardle makes for each topic- so good, helped me get a 9. Make notes while watching his videos on quotes, key arguments for each point ect. Also learn how to structure your answers as in paragraphs and how many points in each
English lit- It’s boring but either speed read each book or read summaries for each chapter, then find key quotes and organise into a word document by themes and character. Then to practice try to do analysis of quotes while trying to include context
Eng lang- Practice papers, Very boring. But if you can scan it and upload it on here then I’m sure someone will give you feedback or just hand it to your teacher even though it’s embarrassing
