How do I improve my GCSE Geography Grade?

In class before my mocks, I used to do really well scoring 9s and 8s on topic test but in the mocks I got a low 7 (almost a 6). I wanted advice on how I could revise and improve on my grades in Geography. Please recommend resources. Thank you : )

How have you been revising?

One of the most important things is knowing your case studies, you need information specific to those places - you shouldn't be able to stick the name of another place in and it still make sense.

To be honest, I haven't revised Geography at all. I don't know where to start. I've been revising everything else except geography (which was a dumb decision).

I find flashcards with key facts and processes are very helpful. I use StudySmarter to make my flashcards because it has free inbuilt spaced repetition (unlike Quizlet). Past papers are useful, and mindmaps and flashcards are useful for case studies. I would recommend making revision resources for all of the topics, starting from least recent to most recent and then you can use them for when exams come about.
