not late, get revision guides - cgp preferably - and read them make notes, but start off with stuff you dont know

You got more time than i had. I literally had 3 weeks before my exams and i still got; 3 As, 4 Bs + 2 Cs.
You got time, so start molesting them past papers before its too late.
Do as much testing as possible. Flashcards may not work, but try other methods. Quizlet can be good? Or Seneca Learning does both testing and teaching - I find really effective as it's all exam board specific as well as being v clearly exlpained and laid out. Also have you tried using mind maps? For essay subjects like english, history etc I find them good for organising my thoughts and coming up with essay plans around a topic..

I would recommend past papers, and practice questions especially for maths. but tbh GCSEs (at least when i did them two years ago) are just about remembering as much information as possible and regurgitating it so maybe try and read a page in a text book, or cgp guide then cover it and see how much you can remember by writing it out or repeating it in your head. start with familiarising yourself with the content (make notes if you need) then doing practise questions all the way up to the exams. You have plenty of time, as long as you pace yourself and stay motivated. a cheeky time table will help you out
Pray to God - he will make a miracle happen. Just pray my brotha, just pray.
That and go over the text book (once at the very least), then molest the past papers that are available. If you find a topic you don't get then either ask a teacher, or watch youtube videos on the topic - make sure they're for your spec and exam board (otherwise you'll learn unnecessary sh*t).

Are you them smart student though that only need to read a page once then know it already by heart?
Both yes and no. I take about 5-10mins on each page to memorise and refresh my brain on the topic(s).
So typically i waste half the day just going though the textbook. Though at the end of the textbook season i know the stuff pretty well, so i molest the papers so that my knowledge is consolidated.
Till school finishes and Study leave begins - i say 2 hours max with 5min breaks every 45mins. Once study leave starts you should spend 1/3 of the day revising with breaks in between. Make sure to relax and go for a walk every now and then (it helps keep the mind fresh).

How do you usually use past papers? Do you answer them with your book first? and then try it again without a book? or Read the topic on the book first and do past papers?

1) Read through the whole textbook 2) attempt the last year's paper -> mark -> get result 3) attempt again but with mark scheme nearby, so if i don't know or am unconfidant with my mental answer i can check asap. 4) keep attempting till i get A 5) start a new paper and repeat step 2-4. 6) before exam go through latest paper because in GCSE some of last year's questions are repeated and you can see a trend of what may and may not pop up

It's vital you do step 2 so that you know which words you can't spell properly.
Btw i call this the Blitz method. It's not thorough, but it gets the job done.
