Few weeks until GCSEs, and I'm kinda screwed

So I'd usually get 7s and 8s across my GCSE subjects with barely any revision/studying at home, which I used as an excuse to procrastinate over the past few months by overestimating myself (obviously a dumb choice).

Now, unsurprisingly I've realised that isn't going to slide for the real deal, and I've forgotten quite a bit since the mock exams, which means I may be at risk of getting grades that are lower than expected for me.

I'm definitely not asking for techniques that will get me 3 grades higher in 2 weeks 😭 however, I was wondering if there would be any ways for me to effectively cover content I may have forgotten or found hard over the months.

I feel like past papers won't help much as they take quite a while to do and mark, and I can only allocate a set number of hours for each subject, as I have 9 GCSEs to revise for over a matter of weeks.

I do have subjects that should take priority, such as english lit, biology and chemistry (I do triple higher), and some that I just need to cover and get taken care of (eg: maths + english language).

What would be the best way to revise and ensure I can get an acceptable grade for all my subjects? I'm not looking for miracle techniques that will get me a 9 in a week, just effective and trusted methods that actually work for the exams.

Hey, I suggest going through the syllabus statements for the sciences as they contain everything u need to know and highlighting the ones ur unsure about so u can revisit them. Maths u can’t rlly revise that much so past papers r rlly the best way around to make sure u have seen all the different types of questions that could come up. I’m not rlly good at English so my advice may not be the best but currently I’m just doing past papers under times conditions to make sure I’m getting it done under time! Hope this helps and good luck 🙂

Yeah, past papers are obviously the best thing to do for maths specifically, not too sure about the sciences tho, they would obviously help but they're not really time effective.

And by syllabus statements, do you mean the official specification with all the listed topics and what they're about, etc?
