Percentages don't really tell us anything. What grade are you working at?

I'm not working at grades right know but my target grade is a nine
Hi Moonma, it sounds like you are working really hard and I am sure you will get there. Have you tried any other revision techniques? I find that cognitio is very good for consolidating topics I don’t understand but I don’t find it great for retention. You could try creating flash cards, or blurting down knowledge and correcting it if it is a knowledge problem. It could also be an issue with answering exam questions so you could try finding level appropriate exam questions. You are only just going into year 9 so don’t worry about doing to much regular work just make sure you are understanding topics, how to answer questions and are beginning to work on what revision methods work well.
I hope this helps, good luck.
