I'm struggling at combined science (edexcel)

Hi, this is my first post and I've mainly started my account to see how I can even revise for science specifically.
Currently, I've used videos from different channels (cognito, science shorts, freesciencelessons) but I haven't gone through all the topics in detail and I usually get stumped on the exams then (biology is fairly easy for me however)

Is there a way for an edexcel (gcse) student like myself who really really struggles to grasp the concepts of physics and chemistry and be able to revise properly without much time left? Textbooks are too detailed or lengthy for me to understand or revise fully.

The physics and maths tutor website is really good for science. If you go to the detailed notes, you can copy some and make them into flash cards. If not, they already have some flash cards on there. Normally, what I do with mine is use the leitner revision technique. You put all your flash cards in box 1 which you do everyday. If u get it right, it moves to the next box which you may do every other day and then the next one which could be once a week. Overtime, your flash cards will move to the final box and you should hopefully have memorised them.

Sounds great! How many flashcards do you recommend I go through a day?

Oooh. That’s a good question. To be honest I do a different amount every day depending on how much time I have. Sometimes I just pick a box and do that one but I try to get through the whole box.
