how does everyone revise for physics gcse?

I'm in yr11 and GCSEs are around the corner and I'm pretty stressed on how to revise physics. I'm not bad at it but I want all 9s by the end of the yr and physics is being me down so any tips are appreciated ☺️
For physics I recommend using Cognito and CGP books because those are very visual whichi always found helped me. 40% of your marks come from calculations so make sure youregood with those (Isaac physics is great for practicing them) and you understand convertingbetween units and stuff. 15% of the content is on working scientifically- use theFreeScienceLessons playlist and the compilation video of gcse physics practicals onScienceShorts (both YouTube). Doing past paper or exam style questions will help you applyyour knowledge The rest of the marks (45%) come from content so make sure you knowwhat needs to be covered and you understand all the key concepts and definitions. Likes likeCognito and Seneca are good for quickly checking what you know and filling gaps in memoryand then CGP books and Bitesize are the best for teaching yourself stuff you forgot. Hopethat helps!
