Personally...

- stick a picture of where you want to be, e.g. college/university, above your desk and it will hopefully motivate you to get working
- fear of losing content, you must know ALL of it to be secure and confident on getting an A*
- past papers, you can know everything but you must be able to answer questions
- mark schemes, you must correct your answers and learn from your mistakes - it also highlights topics to revise
- examiner reports will find mistakes people make, so you can learn from these and you will be able to get top marks
- different methods for revision, don't just stick to one
- revise over a long of period of time

Your teachers are like gold dust. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to go through several topics you really don't understand 1:1 either during a lunchtime or after school. At the end of the day, it isn't just your future that GCSEs will affect - if your teachers underperform just one candidate they can be put 'under-supervison'.

There will come a point when they're busy - so be proactive. They're your GCSEs, so complete extra work and ask to get it marked when your teacher has time. Pro-activeness is key and will be essential for further studying.
