GCSE combined science help

DS (year11) got a 3 in his combined science mocks and I'm trying to help him get up to a grade 4. Are there any specific quick win tips/tricks for this subject?

I have asked the school and they just said about making mind maps but the content is so vast at this point I'm not sure that's targeted enough. I've also asked for copies of his papers and I'm still waiting on them (have chased).

Also, are there any great science you tube tutors/channels that targets lower grade achievers. We used Mr English for his lang/lit papers and he's been super helpful in stepping through the papers and explaining technique etc.

If they are year 11 then it’s too late for mind maps. I’d just keep doing exam papers, use his revision guide to help at first and then gradually take it away. Primrose Kitten or Free Science guy have YouTube channels with loads of content. Malmesbury school science have videos on YouTube of all the required practicals.
