Hi honey
Here’s some few tips you can use;

1. Understand the Marking Criteria: Know what’s assessed—reading comprehension, writing, and grammar/punctuation.

2. Practice Past Papers: Time yourself and review mark schemes to see where you lost marks.

3. Analyze Texts: Break down texts to identify key ideas and language techniques. Practice quick analysis.

4. Improve Writing: Plan your answers with clear structure (intro, body, conclusion). Focus on varied sentences, vocab, and check for errors.

5. Target Weak Areas: Focus on specific weaknesses (sentence structure, spelling, analysis) using revision tools like BBC Bitesize.

6. Use Feedback: Review your mock feedback to address areas of improvement.

7. Stay Consistent: Set a daily revision schedule for steady progress.

thanks

Watch videos- Mr Everything English is a good channel. There are other good channels out there too.
Vocabulary - Trying learning a variety of ambitious vocabs. Mark schemes often look at them, crucially for question 5 paper 1 AQA
Language - Go through different language techniques so it will give you more options to analyse texts in sources in the exam .
Structure - Go through different structures you can talk about. This is a question which most people find difficult.
Examiner reports - This really helps, as you will have a sort of idea on what to include in your answers that will get you a high level answer.
Past papers - Under time conditions get into the habit of doing past papers for English Language and any other subjects. This will boost your confidence and improve your skills while your sitting the actual Exam.
I'd rather you give the past papers to your teachers to mark after completion so they can give you advice and more tips on what you can do to improve.

Websites you can use:

Try youtubers like first rate tutors and Mr Everything.
Also make flashcards to learn key quotes and themes.
And practice essay writing on Tilf to get a mark and feedback.
Also check AQA website with past year mock exams and see if you can do them
