GCSE revision help

im currently in yr10, taking triple science and was predicted basically all 8s and 9s across the board till my recent set of mocks.
I feel like i work so hard and i want to do well but my grades dropped significantly to the point where i even failed some and i never fail.
I did alot of revision but i dont think it was very effective since i was revising for all my subjects because when it is a unit test for one subject I do fine but once its more than one my grades dropped.
Im really struggling as a still want to do well, help please i dont want to fail, does anyone have any tips to how revise efficiently for all subjects i would be extremely sad if i acc end up failing my gcses xx

i am finishing my GCSE's and i felt i did more revision for my mocks than my GCSE's, i am also predicted 8's and 9's mostly , it just doesn't fell real, the best thing to do he is to space out you revision try making like a timetable maybe and try doing so revision for like 2 or 3 subjects a day so you don't exhaust yourself on one, and make sure to revisit the topics you did a day a ago like in 2 days and then after a week and then your brain will know that you have to remember the info you are coming back to. And try start with the topics you like and then move onto the ones you dislike if you start with the harder ones it puts you off.

For science i do this and i get 3 9's i read through my cgp revision guide and then go onto this website that is really good: https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/physics-revision/gcse-aqa/forces/
then in this website i start with the flashcards for the topic i just did then i move onto the exam question to maximise revision and know how i do , then i can be satisfied i have done everything i can and move on.

I’m in year 11 this is what helped me:

Having a routine/ schedule. Try designating revision subjects on days that u don’t have lessons for that subject as that makes it easier to focus

Manage your time. If you say ur only going to do 15 mins of smth, do that and only carry on if u rly want to

Make sure u get used to the timings during exams, so do times practice papers. It will be hard and u may not want to do it but it will rly prepare u for the real thing

For maths i have just done my gcse's for i am i am pretty sure i got a 9 the main thing is to do as MANY exam question as you can and familiarise yourself with the question they can ask you, because they can only ever ask you so many questions, i saw in my maths gcse's some past paper exam question i have done before which helped me answer the questions confidently. and when you get stuck on a question you don't understand i go to this website:
https://corbettmaths.com/contents/
he has videos on every thing in maths and questions then i can be confident on that question.

i don't know what other subjects you do so let me know if there is anything else i can help with, don't ask me about english i am not the best at it i average 7 at it.
and the most important thing is try your best, you can't always be good at everything! and remember there is always someone better than you, so don't think about that and think about yourself and what you want to achieve don't let them put you down! :smile:

Here’s a link to my thread: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7530735&p=99973649&page=3&viewing_newpost=1#post99973649

I got 999999988 in my GCSEs which I took in 2023 (including triple science) and we have lots of discussions on there about revision methods and some tips for exams. I hope it helps! Don’t feel down about not doing as well as you’d hoped, it happens to us all sometimes and wasn’t a true reflection of your ability. Don’t worry about it, you’re going to do amazing!
