What are your best revision methods ?

Hey, I have GCSEs in two months and I’m not sure how to revise. I’m so overwhelmed with content. I don’t know what to start.especially in stem since I do triple science. What are you best revision methods that get you 9s?
Here are my paper 1 mocks (my paper 2 is this week)
Maths 5
Eng lit. 7
Eng lang7
History. 5
French. 5
Chem. 6
Bio. 6
Physics 4
Do you think I have time to get all 7 to 9s?

Anything is possible, but honestly unless you go for broke in the next two months I think the chances of you getting all 9s is unlikely. However I'd say you can probably get all your grades 7-9 if you start now.
Personally what's working best for me is

practice papers for sciences (+ learning content off the spec as my chem/physics teachers are practically non-existent)

practice for maths (go to corbettmaths/ mathsgenie if there's specific topics you don't know)

ONLINE flashcards for history, you don't have time to make physical ones now

BBC Bitesize for french


You have time to up your grades but you've got to stay disciplined :smile:

For science, I use freesciencelessons / cognito science on youtube and doing past papers and exam questions from https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/ . Only make flashcards when there's something you don't know, otherwise you waste too much time.
