GCSE any help plssss (╥﹏╥) ૮(˶╥︿╥)ა

hi people,
Honestly kinda panic has me in a chokehold. Ive got around 1 month until GCSES, and honestly recently I've been really unproductive and burnt out right now I'm stuck at like 7 and 8s and i really want to get all 9s if possible, but tbh recently my grades have been dropping, especially from my y10-y11 mocks which i think is because of how burnt out I am +tired and i just cant seem to pick myself up again. Does anyone have any tips on how i could get my grades up???? I'm naturally terrible with English literature and History but i need to get my other grades up as well (I want to do bio,chem,maths,further)

Any advice is welcome and appreciated thanks!!!

To be honest, your grades are good. I would suggest starting with a little revision. For example, once I started revising for my chemistry paper 2 mock back in December 2024, I got onto a habit pretty quickly, and I’m still maintaining this revision habit.
Also, make sure you practice past paper questions, like good websites are pmt. I do past papers, and if you do those, and then mark them after, you can see your progress.
Also, there’s also websites like Cognito and Seneca that you can use.

For context, here’s my grades: (all are grade 8 targeted btw)
Biology-Grade 9 predicted, grade 9 in my most recent mock
Chemistry-Grade 9 predicted, grade 9 in my most recent mock
Physics-Grade 9 predicted, grade 9 most recent mock
English language-Grade 7 predicted, grade 7 most recent mock
English literature-Grade 7 predicted, grade 7 most recent mock
Maths-Grade 7 predicted, grade 6 most recent mock
French-grade 6 predicted, grade 6 most recent mock
History-Grade 8 predicted, grade 8 most recent mock
Make sure you do focus on your weak points btw

I use edexcel.
Honestly, I think I’m simply good at history because it’s my favourite subject though.
