What I usually do is look through the notes in the book and try to make notes on my computer or in a note book and see what I didn't write down in class. Then i try to use the notes to answer questions and then without the notes mark them and see what I know then look more closely at them with the books. Also, I use CGP exam style questions booklets to see how I am at answering those.

I would definitely recommend them as I think they really helped me get a 7a in every test last year. The exam workbooks were also really good at getting me used to exam questions.
CGP books i get from CGP directly as they are next day delivery and as I bulk buy my revision guides, as in I got all my GCSE ones for maths and english at once, It says it is £2.50 delivery and I think if you spend over £40 it is free but you probably won't but if you buy 2 for each science you will with the revision guide. I also buy there english text guides as they as well as york notes are really good at helping me understand the text more. Here is the link: https://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/Student/books_gcse
For the oxford university press ones I would recommend buying through amazon as they have good delivery and it is free and if you are a prime member it is next day and even if not you only wait a few days

textbooks (oxford university press)- Amazon
work books (CGP)- CGP
You might also find CGP books in whsmith or waterstones but they probably won't have many and it is a bit of hit and miss.

Well ideally I want to try and get a no lower than a 7 in each science but I really want to get an 8/9 in each science. I think if I did get a 9 i'm more likely to get it in physics as it is my strongest science mainly because there is quite a lot of maths involved. Realistically I think i would be happy with 8's or 7's but I am going to try and get a 9.
The set bellow me, which is top set combined got told they are expected 8 and 9's then the teacher decided the next day that actually she would only accept 9's. I only think at most I could get it in one science but I am going to try and get the best grade I can.
