GCSEs in less than 100 days!
GCSEs are fast approaching and I have no idea where to start. My grades are decent but I need some help and advice on what to do the final few months before GCSEs.

It’s practise practise practise. For maths and the sciences spam as many past papers as you can. The big thing with past papers is learning the mark scheme and spotting the patterns. The marking is more important than the answering i would argue so take time to mark them properly. Flashcards are your best friend for fact recall for subjects like geo and history. For English ,if you need to learn quotes, get a white board and pen and blurt out the quotes for each character and theme + context if your exam board requires until you can do it with 100 percent accuracy.

Hi, I got all 9's in my GCSE and the subjects i found most easiest where the knowledge based ones (CS, RS, GEO, COMBINED SCIENCE). For these types of subjects all you need to do is use the specification to make notes of everything on the spec. Once you have done this you just memorise these notes.
I would highly recommend you to check out notes made by GCSEMastery on stuvia (a website with notes), just search GCSEMASTERY on the stuvia search bar and the check out the notes they make that tightly follow the specification. There are sample pages so you can have a look at the notes as well.
Hope this helps
