Well I have got my GCSEs soon, and I started revising fully lastweek and this week because of easter holidays. I say, Listen to audio clips and do the mini-tests on www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize and also I use these Letts or CGP revision guides to learn ne wstuff and go over the stuff I know help me get frm a D to a B in Mathematics and now going for a A. The CGP ones are the best, they have a man on the front LOL. The information is clear and bold and easy to understand along with having tips for the exam. The Letts ones are ok, they are really detailed so you can aim for As A*s or whatever you want. also I use www.samlearning.com and www.MyMaths.co.uk which is provided FREE to us from our highschool so check if your school has it, they have practise exams, online lessons and much more to help you get the grades you want. Take some notes down and word process them and print them out to help you aswell . Also get about 8-9hours sleep becuase it's the holidays it doesn't really matter when you go bed as long as you get them hours LOL. Also drink water or cordials to stay concentrated on revision and do about 3hours aday on 3different subjects and have breaks in between !

I hope this helped you

Revision - Get a highlighter and highlight everything in the revision guide that is relevant. You have therefore read everything once. Then, you also have highlighted, everything you need to revise from. Take some time out (hour or two?) and come back and read your highlights and write them down if nessasary (if you think it helps). Do this for everything. Before the exam, read your highlights again (along with other notes you might have). Also, look at past papers and check to see what has been asked before. And make sure you can do everything and make a list of everything you can't, then re-read notes.
