gcse revision urgent please helpp

how much revision should I be doing daily if I want to go from grade 5s and 6s to mostly 7s and some 8s. for context, I live quite far from school and so I finish at 3 and get home at 5 but I don’t know how many hours I should be revising as I get really tired even doing after 2 hours which I know isn’t enough for me.

try to get 2 hours a day, maybe 3. GCSE's aren't that deep I'm not gonna lie. I'm in my second year of college and got 6's in my GCSE's. I'm doing Chemistry at University

I'm in year 12 now, got six 9s and two 6s in maths and music so no help there... I literally revised the bulk of the content the night before all of my exams. Went from a 3 to a 9 in history doing small bits of revision over Easter. Two hours is literally plenty, trust me. I guess the main thing I'd say is to make sure your revision is actually effective. As in, don't copy out the textbook; make flashcards, mind maps etc. Get a whiteboard and do active recall. Make sure you know everything before you actually start your exams so that the last minute revision is just solidifying information you already know.
