Year 8 end of year exams

DD is not great at revision. I have been gently trying to get her to do some, since the exams are now only a fortnight away, but without wrecking her holiday. I would expect reasonable performance as long as she looks at everything she's done this year, since she's got a fair memory. DH is of the view that she'll fail everything unless she spends a lot of time on revising and that will mean she drops down the sets enough to end up with the "wrong" exams (and probably a higher proportion of the more maladjusted at her school). I tend to feel it's Y8, not GCSE and she's got enough work ahead of her, but he feels I'm being too optimistic. What's the view out there?

Oh and if anyone's got ideas on how to help them revise, please share!
