Hi there.
I'm an A Level student who's done their gcse's if you are doing them.
The best advice I can give is exam practice and looking at the examiners comment in every past paper you do.
To get those top band responses you need to be able to understand what the mark scheme is asking of you.
So I cannot stress enough how important it is to do past papers. You can find them on the exam boards website (for aqa its usually under assessment resources in the subject your studying)
Is there any specific topic that you're struggling with? When I did my gcses I struggled a lot with english and maths.
These are some of the youtubers I used to watch when studying for my gcses, they were very helpful.

I also recomend you look at the exams you have previously done and look at where you went wrong. For example whatever ebi's your teacher gave you, look at them and work on them.
And top tip is to look at the marl scheme and understand what each A0's mean (You can find this in the specification)
Also for science and math I recomend you revise from the specification, the specification clearly highlights what you need to know so if you understand what you need to know you'll be fine.
I also recomend you watch videos by this person https://www.youtube.com/@SmileWithSola

Heya!
The best way to revise is by doing past papers and then going through your answers using the mark scheme and seeing how well you did
I would recommend noting down the questions you got wrong and possibly even making them into flashcards! Study mind has lots of practice questions you can use if it helps!I hope this helps!
