edexcel

Unfortunately its a very theory heavy topic and the formula book doesnt really help.
I always liked drawing planes and thinking of basic Core 4 work when it comes to lines.
Although a little late the two different textbooks used for Edexcel FP3 give different methods you could consider. The line of intersection for example is done by a cross product and a common point in the Oxford book whilst its done through expressing x,y and z in terms of each other on pledger book.
Have a search for the AQA further maths ebooks. They may offer a little help.

vectors is a bit annoying. I would do a question of each type and kind of rote learn it. i.e. do a question to find the line where two planes intersect, a question to find where a line passes closest to a plane etc...i think te above two are the hardest thing u can get in terms of vectors so just make sure u can do them
