Year 11 gyg

Starting yr 11 in august, and wanting to get good grades for my igcse but genuinely had 0 motivation to do anything this summer, and a month has passed (i was on holiday) and my yr10 mock results were pretty bad compared to predicted so I’m tryna improve by the time I finish the course and go into revision (predicted maybe April)

Here are my mock results and predicted next to them

Combined sciences 77 / 88
English lit 5 / 7
English lang 6 / 7
Geography A / A*
History A / A
Computer science A / A
Maths 9/ 9
Korean B / B

For maths I did the paper a year early ( in June 24) and predicted a 9, I’m doing additional maths in yr11.
For languages I do Korean but the exam was removed on the exam board so I’m taking a Korean exam in April but honestly I have never studied Korean as a language, I moved countries when I was 4, and just recently took Korean cuz I moved schools but I am pretty happy with the mock results since I had 0 background knowledge.

Please give me any tips for English lang and English lit
For English lit I do “Things fall apart” , and will do Macbeth in yr11, and did Kindertransport for coursework in yr10.

Geography was honestly just remembering the formations/ common sense for fieldwork
I struggled with remembering erosion and transportation and my teacher made us do hand signs in order to make us remember in yr8 and I still stick with it
For the topics in my mocks it was opposite to what my teacher said it would have so I studied volcanoes instead of weather and rivers / coasts
So I lost quite a bit on case studies lol i recommend remembering case studies and the specific areas
Fieldwork was remembering the equipment used and just using common sense on what you would do
Common question in rivers case study is why the recordings wasn’t same every time and somehow not a few people got this question right in my class
Use your common sense and say it gets stuck / doesn’t go in a straight line

Describe - literally say what u can see (colors, lengths etc)
Explain - formations
In physical geography
