honestly, maths is just practice, identify ur weak points (like u are) then spam maths questions, and exam board for maths really doesnt matter imma be so real, so u have plenty of Qs to be doing, goodluck

Sounds ok what youre doing and there are "papers" of hard/grade 9 maths questions if you want to hit just those at some point (just google / search on here). But I like the full gcse textbook (really its a 52 page revision guide) at the bottom of
https://m4ths.com/gcse.html
to quickly review topics / monitor your progress on the syllabus (so mark the topics you find hard - rag). Its similar to the corbett cards etc. But hitting the exam questions/practice is the main thing (and do it regularly), so corbett, frost, mathsgenie, pmt, exam papers, ...

Use your mocks as a guide about progress. Youve ~5 months before the actual things and any learning you do now before your mocks will probably be forgotten by that time. If you do well, keep going with whatever youre doing. If youre weak in some areas, address those and reflect about why you didnt realise beforehand ...

This is pretty much all I did and then I also did the ‘harder grade 9 questions’. If you search that up the papers should come up. If you do all this and understand the concepts confidently then yes you should be able to get a high grade.
