Can anyone help with the year 11 mocks in november?

Hi guys, I am getting really worried about my mocks and i dont think i've properly revised in my LIFE. I know some people say they dont matter but I still want to do good in them. I think im mostly struggerling on how to start revising and knowing what to revise. Lots of people are saying past papers and I dont know how I would find time to do them as most of them last like 2 hours. I have like 5 weeks and hardly know most of the content for history and geography.
My predicted grades are:

Double award science 6
English Langauage 5
Geography 6
History 7
ICT 5
Maths 4 ☹️

id say that year 11 mocks are quite important but I wouldn’t dedicate hours and hours every day to revision!!! it’s hard to find a revision technique that works for you so I’m not sure if this advice will help at all, but what worked really well for me with history (i didn’t take geography but the same method might work) was watching YouTube videos and making mind maps about the key points and statistics from the different parts of the specification- hopefully you know what’s going to be asked about on your mocks!
about past papers, I know a lot of people who swore by them but i understand that they take a long time to do. what I did was went through the paper and instead of attempting every question i chose the questions that I didn’t know how to do and taught myself how to answer them! my physics teacher also always used to tell us to use the mark scheme, that’s more useful for science because you can learn exactly how the exam board wants you to answer
i hope you can find a way to revise that works well for you !!!! and good luck on your mocks, I’m sure you’ll do great :-)
