Find out when your mocks are and do the relevant revision necessary for your subject - For Sciences, see what topics you have covered, make some notes on it and then go to PMT to do practice questions on the topics that are coming up e.g., for Physics, you may have covered electricity, which includes topics relating to current, power and voltage for example. Find videos explaining those topics and then maybe go and do a quizlet before doing past paper questions. Have you tried using flashcards and do they help at all.

Find out what are your strongest and weakest subjects - you mentioned you aren't doing so well in History, so go and ask your teacher about what can you do to improve your grade and do revision based on your weakest areas in History. Then again, you did say your parents wanted you to take it, so try to get a good grade out of it, even if it's a grade 4/5.

Don't stress out too much for your mocks and your situation - I know your situation is bad and you may not have much time, but you can pretty much improve quite fast if you are consistent. Try to get rid of your habit of leaving everything to the last minute as that won't benefit you at all and come up with a different approach to work. I've seen some cases where people have improved drastically from getting awful predicted grades to getting better grades than before.

It's never too late to change things - it may not seem like it now, but things can drastically change, and sometimes for the better.
In short, don't give up on trying to do the very best you can. It's never too late to start over and better yourself, which I am a good example of when I was doing GCSE's years ago. I used to be on a grade 4/5 level on DT in year 10 and then during year 11, I slowly got better and eventually got a high grade 8 in GCSE DT.
Sorry for the long writing, hope this can give you some help as to what to do.
