    Look up the types of questions you could be asked and make notes for how you might answer that question. You can find old questions from exam papers and consider how you would go about it.

    Also, make sure you're doing enough past papers in timed conditions as pratice. It will help you learn to think under pressure and respond to the language.

    Ask your teacher and get them to point you in a direction. Surely they can advise you on books to make notes from. Check the exam board for a list of topics they want covered too.
