Hiiii, I haven't gotten a GCSE grade yet but I am predicted a 9 and in mocks I got 88%. What I did were past paper questions. Start with the ones by topic - you can find loads on physics&math tutor. Screenshot the ones you get wrong the first time and re-do them. Then move on to past papers. Do the 2018-2021 ones including the reserve papers. If you're aiming for an 8 then make sure you get 70%+ on all of them, and if you don't, re-attempt the paper. Keep the 2022 and 2023 ones for study leave or closer to the exam. Memorise the mark schemes for salt preparation, etc, like the long answer questions that keep coming up with little variation.

hey there ! i revised the night before my exam from flashcards id made previously, and got a 9. i can send you the flashcards iyw ? (i did AQA too)
in my flashcards i included every single detail in the spec and cgp textbook so if you memorise them you’ll have learnt all the content. icl it took a few hours for me to go through them all and memorise it but i still managed to do it the night before.
if you have time after then do pmt questions & watch freesciencelessons for quick summaries (i ran out of time for all that tho 😭)

Go on physics and maths tutor and print out the chemistry notes and also the specification from there just memorise the notes with the spec and do past papers dont bother making any notes at all
