Relax, revise, review, pace yourself, and enjoy them. I know it sounds strange but you can.

If you start preparing for revision now by setting up a revision timetable and working out what method to use (I like Cornell see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Notes) you will be fine. Here is my top tips:
1 - Begin planning early, get everything organised so you have plenty of time.
2- Concentrate mainly on your weak areas and not so much the stuff you are great at.
3-Don't cram but don't do too little revision
4-Don't worry because in the scheme of things GCSEs are very easy
5-You will get the results you deserve

I've got mine coming up too. I would say avoid procrastinating at all costs, it does nothing for confidence.
Try using the CGP textbooks, they're great and DEFINITLEY do lots of test exam papers, do enough of them and your grade can increase by around 10%
However, I've sat two GCSE's early - Don't worry, they are not as scary as you'd expect, trust me. I did a huge cramming session in the week leading up to them and got very good results.
Take breaks, and have some time off doing things you like to take your mind off it, but don't get into a habit of it! It's all about getting the balance of work and rest correct, good luck!

Relax you have loads of time. I know this may sound silly your GCSE's are important but there is no need to go crazy over them! You need to revise but don't do too much as you may peak too soon and struggle closer to the time. Ask some of your good friends how they are preparing and see if you can work together.
Good Luck!

Use the BBC Bite Size revision sites, they are great and make mind maps of the main bits of information for each topic.
Get plenty of sleep and exercise. Avoid fatty food, it slows your brain down. Eat fish or take omega 3 capsules, it helps the memory. Play quiet, instrumental music while you review your work.
Pay extra attention in school, ask your teachers loads of questions to make sure you really understand everything.

Not that important in the real aspect in life mate. What do you want to be? You could fail everything and tell a college that and they will help you make it all up and get you what you want. You're young and bright (I guess) if you have to retake a subject don't take it the wrong way in a year you will be much more prepared to do much better. There's one trick to success in school and that is stay there until you want to leave and have the qualifications you want!
School is the easiest period in your life the longer it takes for you to leave the better trust me it's a ot harder once you leave.

Get English and Maths. The rest don't really matter unless you have a real interest in them. I'm 26, passed all mine - B's and C's. Didn't really get interested in science til I turned 26, now I read loads about it. Just try your hardest and be happy!

It is all about planning. Do a timetable of revision so that you include all subjects you need to revise. perhaps have friend round so you can test each other.
You will be fine if you revise.
