Most subjects are about memory not application so here is some stuff to help you out for certain subjects, with the exams coming up soon.

Maths resources:

https://corbettmaths.com - Maths papers and questions

https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcse-maths-revision/gcse-maths-online-tests/ - Don’t have a printer? Do some papers online

www.mathswatch.com - requires a subscription from your school highly recommended if your school has it.

Estimated Grade Boundaries(Total mark over three papers):

Grade 6 - 96 Marks
Grade 7 -124 Marks
Grade 8 - 150 Marks

these will vary depending on which exam board your school has chosen and whether they decide to be strict or lenient

How to revise maths exactly?:
1.Complete question paper
2.Self assess using markscheme
3.Note down topics you lost marks in
4.Complete questions on those topics
5. 1-4 repeat till you take the exam

Youtube(
) - Videos which walk you through the exam papers

Poetry learn quotes aswell as for your chose literature(Macbeth,Sign of Four,LoTF,Animal Farm)

Computer Science resources:
- Craig N Dave Youtube channel covers the entire specification

Triple Science resources:

http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse - For anyone taking the AQA exam you can find the subject specifications a little guide on what you should know in order to pass

Youtube pick and choose there are no particularly good channels

If you cant afford to buy textbooks borrow one from the school and photocopy it

Good luck and in the case you do fail core subjects it isnt the end of the world and you can easily resit them but put in the extra effort to save yourself some time
 
Eddie Woo records every lesson he teaches and his videos are easy to understand, although his accent is annoying. He has covered pretty much every topic there is to Maths.

BBC Bitesize is a great revision app for phones and has helped dramatically with my revision as well. Covers all GCSE subjects.
 
Got anything for A-Levels? :(
Depends if you are doing a modular or linear course personally my teacher said you should spend 5 hours a week revising for each A level if you are doing modular obviously practice work for that topic aswell as work which links other topics if you don’t understand go to your teacher for help if a teacher isn’t willing to help you outside of their class speak to your Head of learning/head of sixth form and ask them to help you personally. You might thinking AS is a waste however it teaches you the fundamentals for the A level exams so don’t waste it.

Edit:Also give your homework 100% effort as it will be marked and can provide useful feedback
