Getting almost-perfect UMS scores with the right exam-technique

Hi
Very soon i will start doing my A-levels (year 12).
I am planning to take Chemistry,Physics and Mathematics(Edexcel)
I have already almost completed C1 with three more units to go; i wanted to get a head-start :P
For my IGCSEs, i got A*'s at the subjects i mentioned above (also edexcel )
While i was preparing for my IGCSEs i noticed that - in order to get the highest mark possible in an exam - i had to include specific words and phrases so that they'll be rewarded by the mark scheme. I tend to write very long detailed answers - for e.g. For a physics question that is worth four marks, i would write a long detailed answer but i may only score two or three marks out of the available four. I tend to miss the key points listed on the mark scheme ...
I am looking for a way to be as accurate and succinct as possible to get all the marks.For maths,this is straight forward;however, for chemistry and physics it's not :P ... If you're doing Edexcel then you'll see that their mark schemes can be quite strict ...
Do you have any tips regarding revision and exam-technique to maximise my scores?
Thank you in advance for your help

Do papers and look at mark scheme answers. learn definitions. make sure you know exactly what they're asking.
For Edexcel Maths doing all the past papers is the best way, I got 97-100 ums in modules by doing that.
