Science revision tips????????

Hey guys! I’ve started revision for Easter but I have no idea how to revise for science! I’ve always been bad at it but recently I’ve been put on the higher paper (I wanted to so I could have more of a chance of passing) I really need science to do psychology for A level but I always end up getting so bad in tests. I’ve made flash cards and everything and the revision guides just confuse me, does anyone have any effective tips???? And also roughly how many marks on the higher science papers do you need to pass? I’ve been told it’s quite low and also I’m a bit confused I’m doing double science so does that mean if I pass both I get 2 gcses of I failed one I would only get 1 gcse???
just do a load of past papers and you'll be fine
I got all A's in my GCSE science and I am doing very well in my A level sciences.

First of all you can't use flash cards for all your sciences - it just won't work and here's why

Biology - not really concepts more memorising (Flashcards and lots of past papers)
Chemistry - Mostly concept based but some memorising (Do past papers and practice calculations - pick up the book when very stuck)
Physics - Almost all of it is concept (LOTS OF PAST PAPERS! Read your book when your confused, but alot of physics is literally practice - kinda like maths
