PLEASE HELP- GCSE's Foundation Triple Science

I have just got my second mocks back for Bio and I got a 4, few marks off a 5 and my bio teacher said that whoever got a 4 will do foundation for Triple and I feel so low and disappointed, I've asked many people in my class for advice and it didn't help much. (I usually get a 5 for bio.) Can someone please give me advice on how to get my teacher to let me do higher since I'm starting to feel hopeless.

From my experience:

Sciences - Making personal notes/rewriting a whole textbook summarised with key points required to learn (not just random info). That way, essential information sticks to your brain as you mind-map each unique idea through font and style on paper. If you want to make things stand out in your notes to remember some key points, try drawing diagrams to add to your notes. That way, you are able to recognise the section of info you've summarised - make it stand out!

Watching videos online helps me fill the gaps in knowledge for different sciences. I recommend Primrose Kitten and FreeScienceLessons on YouTube!

English - Practice papers - Moreover, warm up with writing until you're comfortable with writing at a fast pace. (A fun thing I find which helps expand my vocabulary is by watching Netflix shows!)

Maths - Honestly, I don't think you can really 'revise' maths - so instead, make sure you understand all the concepts and correlations in the curriculum.

Remember, this is my way of studying to get 9s for each subject; Additionally, each person has their own style of revision - so I advise you try different revision strategies and find one which works best for you!
Good luck with the revision!
