physics and maths tutor is probably the best resource out there because it goes through all the themes and characters but dont heavily rely on it make sure you know how to analyse just in case you have to change the analysis of a quote according to the question. this might sound crazy but i think its best you do around 10 - 12 quotes per character and theme so even if you get a really hard question you'll have quotes that will work. I did this for my mocks and i got 30/34 and im not even good at english. And remember its completely normal to feel overwhelmed and stressed im doing my gcses this year too and i feel the exact same way but just make sure you revise to the best of your ability because there's nothing you can do after the exams if you put in the effort. Also if you find it hard to memorise quotes maybe you should try sticking sticky notes with quotes all around your house so wherever you go you'll read a quote and you'll slowly start to remember it. My teacher told me that even if you do get a quote a bit wrong they don't take any marks away as long as your analysis is really good and she even showed us a student's answer that got full marks but made so many mistakes so trust me, you'll be fine. I know this is a bit long but make sure you know quotes for eva (if your doing aqa idk for other exam boards) cuz my teacher also said they've never asked about her so they might because our spec is almost coming to an end.
