What year are you in right now? Presumably you're not taking your GCSEs this year, so you've got time to improve some of those grades.

Does the report contain any commentary? For example, "John would benefit from..." or "To improve these grades, Mary might like to..."?

The fact that you say you "spend to much time planning but i never get it done" suggests that you might have identified an issue yourself. Studying / revising will take a little planning, but not to the extent that you don't actually get any studying done!

Perfect. So in answer to your "what can i do???" question, you follow the suggestions in your report.

People on TSR are complete strangers. They don't know you. They don't know your strengths and weaknesses. They don't know how you learn best. They don't know how much effort you put in. Your teachers do. And they've provided you with their guidance in this report. That's going to much more useful than whatever advice random folk on TSR can provide.

Also, just to re-iterate this point...
