GCSE right?
if yea then I can give you some tips for physics, I gave edexcel IGCSE and got an 8 (2 marks off a 9😭)

so basically I used to make notes of each topic/lecture as writing helped me memorize. you can use mind maps, draw pictures if that helps you remember. once you've made notes for the topic, got to topical (available online on websites like PMT) and test your own knowledge, then check using and Ms and evaluate where ur lacking and revise that part.

once you've finished your syllabus, you can use your old notes or flashcards to go through the topics, flashcards are very useful (you can make them yourself, and they are also available on websites like quizlet and PMT). And then you can start practicing yearlies (once your exam is near) which are very important.

good luck!

I didn't give core practical :frown:
instead I gave alternative to practical which is P2
but I believe these website covers all the skills needed for practical :
https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/physics-revision/igcse-edexcel/practical-skills/
and https://www.savemyexams.com/igcse/physics/edexcel/19/revision-notes/5-solids-liquids-and-gases/5-2-changes-of-state/5-2-3-core-practical-investigating-changes-of-state/

IA you'll get a 9
