All 9s - possible ?

Throughout Year 10 I paid very little attention, have picked up in recent months in Year 11, with relatively minimal revision (max 3 hrs per subject) these were my Jan 25 mock grades -

Chemistry 9
Physics 9
History 9
Comp Sci 7 (high)
Eng Lang 7 (high)
Biology 7 (high)
Eng Lit 7
Spanish 7
Maths 6
Further Maths 4


now barring Further Maths which is a more uphill battle - how much revision is needed to max these out? I haven't revised at all so far, only do 30mins a week on poetry filling out my anthology. The issue with Maths/Further Maths is that I never knew how to revise them per se - now find past papers to be a good idea.

i feel with pure understanding, its easy to get a 7. you seem to be a smart person but i dont mean to demotivate you, but the effort needed to go from a 4-5 to a 7 is nothing compared to 7 to 9. be prepared to work your ass off. flashcards and past papers (as you said) are the way. ai (chatgpt and copilot) is super useful too. you've got a bit less than 2 months - all 9s is very much possible - its just how much effort you're willing to put in: i personally went from 2 9s and rest 8s at the end of year 10 to 7 9s now in march with a tiny boost of effort. imagine what you can do if you grinded for the next few weeks.
