Don't suggest I get someone to test me. I revise and work better independently:-)

Here are some of the ways that I like to revise (I am taking A levels at the mo)
Rewrite out the more difficult passages to remember from the text books or revision guide. Write them out more than once, because the process of writing it out will help you think about it and memorise it. Don't do this in a noisy room though, everything will go in one ear and out the other :/
Mind maps of particular topics
Key word glossaries
Posters to stick on your wall where they will be seen everyday
Revise in a quiet room, get plenty of sleep, drink loads (water not red bull- cramming before the exam and living off energy drink and mars bars is not a good idea), eat plenty, keep some pain killers handy (migraines and headaches can be a result of staring too hard at that horrid small print in the text books for ages) and take breaks ( if you revise 3 hours each night, take a half hour between each hour and become a vegetable then so your brain can recover)
Hope this helps :) btw this is not relevant in the slightest but I'm loving your profile picture (I'm a huge MCR fan)

Well continue doing the things you're doing, they're great.
For maths, for example, if you're doing algebra practice practice different questions using a certain method.
Watch videos on Youtube?
I do French GCSE and listen to a CD every night to help me revise. And instead of reading a normal book at night, I read a revision book. :) boring I know, but the hard work will pay off.
Yeah, basically, just keep reading, writing and listening.

Reading something from a revision guide and then try to write down everything you remember until you get it all. Sounds stupid but works!
Also make sure everything like phone, computer ect is switched off so no distractions

Maybe you could try putting the things you need to know into a song, or try the BBC website, they have questions on science, maths and english - http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/
