I would try making flashcards, doing practice exam questions for each topic in science and practise essays for English- get your English teacher to mark them for you and use their feedback to write another essay etc. Go over the flashcards you make in the morning. If flashcards don’t work for you, try blurting, mind mapping, or simply watch videos and make some notes. For Spanish, watch some tv shows in the language and go over higher level vocab and tenses. Good luck and you can do it!!!

there’s no quick fix for art, talk to your teacher about how you’re getting on to make sure you’re on top of workload and spend time outside of lesson doing coursework. check out Emily Brady’s hour-long youtube video was a godsend for me

history idk your exam board but the yt channel ‘a long long time ago’ has good videos, also i revised using flashcards for key sped, practice writing exam qs and give them to your teacher to mark, also the website seneca learning is really good for revising content

for science: free science lessons and cognito on youtube, do past exam qs/papers and mark them, put content you keep forgetting on flashcards, also seneca too

spanish: practice using the language, duolingo, past exam papers, maybe find a podcast to listen to

revise regularly, little and often

Thanks for the advice! I feel like with Spanish I can’t learn through TV and songs, I learn all the vocabulary but still fall short.

grammar is really important too. i would start from the basics again, it really helped me (although it took a long time). i just went through my textbook and noted all the different grammar points, then i would do a writing question w the list open (at first). make mindmaps of phrases to use - you could do this for past, present and future - practice tenses by just making ‘verb tables’.
