how to get an A in biology chemistry and maths a level

hey guys, I have my a levels in about 2 1/2 months and I am really stressing out. I was wondering if anyone has some good tips on how to get minimum 3A's in biology chemistry and maths. I do past papers, make notes, watch YouTube videos but I still feel underprepared and lack confidence. I need 3 A's minimum to apply this September, and I missed out applying for med this year because I got a B predicted in bio and I dont want a repeat again. Any advice appreciated!!!
I can't give u much advice for biology or chemistry but for math pretty much all you can is practise questions. If u have a textbook or something read through it, start with the most basic example questions for topics u struggle with then do past papers. If u search up the code of the past paper on YouTube and put solved next to it, there's always videos of people doing the questions slowly and thoroughly. Most of the time when I don't know how to do a question and look at the mark scheme, I get even more confused. The videos helped me understand so much more. Apart from that its just doing past paper after past paper so u learn how to recognise and do the typical questions they ask.
Also when u feel more confident make sure to practise doing past papers in the amount of time u have in the exam cause I know personally I sometimes struggle with it.
I hope this helped and good luck with ur exam!!!

If it is about the terms or the teaching contents to get in your mind, try to explain these things to yourself by soliloquizing or in front of the mirror or a person of your trust.
