Tips for getting grade 9's

I'm currently in Yr 11, I want to do well in my GCSE'S
I do about 2-2 1/2 hours of revision everyday
Please could you give me tips on getting high grades for Separate Sciences, Maths, English lit/lang, French, Geography..

don’t waste ur time revising rn. i’m not even jking. u just need to make sure u do all ur work on time n after u finish each topic make sure u have notes on everything. also revise for end of topic tests even if it’s only like 30min. this will make it easier for the exams

when u have mocks split ur revision period in half. like revise yr10 for one week and yr11 the next. then like consolidate both for like a couple of days b4 the mocks.

for french just make sure yk loads of vocab but u don’t need it rn. look online for the vocab need by the exam board n memorise all of that.

for english lang u can practice analysing random stuff. like i did it with songs (lyrical songs like by kendrick or j cole are good). also watch mr bruff n learn the structure for each question

for english lit. get quotes on each book u have finished. also while reading the book highlight good quotes. for my inspector calls i had like 6 on each character. u can do more or less depending on what u feel. also use spark notes to find the summary of each chapter b4 u read it to help understand what’s happening.
