- Do loads of past papers (you can get these on exam board's websites - worth checking with school if you're not sure which one).
- Regarding maths, I always found it easier to watch YouTube videos because someone's explaining how to do something :smile:

Quite a lot of the more popular maths YouTubers for GCSE's do live streams on different days and they actually go through a maths paper (I wish I'd had that when I was at school, it would have been so helpful).
- go to revision sessions if your school teachers offer them
- if getting a tutor is an option this could work for you if your struggling in a certain topic

Figuring out what actually is it that you don't know or that is confusing you, try going through a past paper untimed and do every question your confident in, star the ones you have an idea but are unsure of , then leave the ones that are completely new to you fully blank.

The ones you have starred: work through the problem. find a step by step example of this style of question to figure out exactly what you need to do to answer the one on your past paper.familiarity of questions is very helpful when you get into a timed exam

For the ones you left blank: find a tutor on YouTube like Tgmt or hannahkettlemaths or cognito maths, first-class maths, Corbett maths or wherever and teach yourself the topic that those styles of question fall under so the next time you see that question in a different past paper it'll end up starred and you can work through it like any other starred question

Hope this helps!!
