For maths: best way to revise is practice questions, PMT is a godsend. maths is basically the same across exam boards, so if you want more questions on a specific topic, it shouldn't matter which exam board option you choose. if you find a question particularly hard (like you've spent 20 mins on a 6 marker), use the answer and work backwards so that you know the method inside out, method marks are more beneficial than answer marks.
Chemistry: You're not really gonna get anywhere unless you fully understand the content. Best way to know what you need dire help with is blurting. Look at your text book, choose a chapter/subchapter and word vomit everything you know, then use the text book and see if what you wrote was relevant, irrelevant or had chemical errors (fundamental misunderstandings). Make relevant corrections/notes and try again on a fresh page. After each subchapter do one or two questions on the topic and when you get to the end of a whole chapter find summary questions (I used to use the ones at the end of my AQA textbook). When it comes to sciences the mark schemes vary dependant of key terminology so make sure the questions you are using are from your exam board. If the textbook really isn't working for you, YouTube channels like Cognito or FreeScienceLessons are really helpful, but personally I find that they are more useful as a general overview to consolidate your knowledge, rather than something to teach you content. If that really doesn't work use sites like Seneca to help with the knowledge, however, it's not so good with exam questions (that's something you'll have to pay for, but if you have the financial means, it can create mini mock tests!)
But most importantly make sure not to burn yourself out, over-stressing will only decrease your ability to retain information, take breaks in between revision sessions (for ever two hours of revision I give myself a 20-30 min break to breathe, get some food/drinks or watch an episode of a sit-com or something) It helps you refocus.
I hope this helped! good luck x

Hi @mill-_-ly--,
Although two months is a tight timeframe, it's very possible to still achieve high grades if you use your time wisely.
Some tips I have for you are:

Try as many different strategies - such as flashcards, past papers, recall, highlighting and reading notes etc. - until you find the ones which are best for you, and have a goal in mind every time you study so time goes by faster, it makes it so much easier to study!

hey , @Smartmohmaedx
i think my mock grades are worst and after 2 months i have to sit for the igcse and i don't known what i m gonna get physics -7 computer science - 6 english -5 chemistry-2 ( which means i failed) maths - 2 ( also failed) geography-7
i hope the best for you . hopefully your goona do great in igcse
