English Lang - Especially with the writing paper, ambitious vocab would help you alot. So, download this app called "Word of the Day" and you can learn a new word every day, and then test yourself upon all new learnt words.
2.
English Lit - If you are doing a play, watch the play. If you are doing novels, have an audio-book or listen to Spotify (they have all GCSE English books). If you expose yourself to someone reading you words, it will help massively; the quotes will stick in there better.
3.
Maths - Just do past papers. No 2 ways around it. Try to familiarize yourself with formulas and identities, but this is more of a person-based subject. If you are good at maths, you will do well.
4.
Science - Use Cognito. They have the majority of GCSE exam boards, and they offer the basic services for free. Still, the free version contains stuff like daily quizzes, video lessons, flashcards, and past papers.
5.
I don't do Geography, but I do History, which is another humanities subject. What helps me is flashcards, filled with little content questions, like "Describe the key features of a ... " and then you fill in the rest

I don't do French either, but what helps most people is the integration of the language into everyday life. When talking to your family, include French phrases or add in French words in your conversation. Also, try Memrise for quick vocab quizzes.

ur probably gnna be focussing on that during the last few weeks u r back at skl, however, during this break id say defo focus on paper 1 and paper 2 - its gnna be quite a bit of content i do have to warn u as im revising it rn haha but that is where u will get majority of ur marks - however don't completely neglect paper 3. try to do a little bit of fieldwork during this week as it is a lot! make sure ur issue evaluation has good notes, and i know this is not rlly ideal, but since paper 3 is after the lil half term in the middle of the exams, i'd use that weeks break of exam to do focus on paper 3 majorly
