I don't think they're THAT different, so hopefully this can still apply if you're doing OCR B haha. I did OCR A, and I found that practice questions are your best friend. When you start, do the practice questions in the textbook which correlate to the topics you're studying, do your homework sheets and talk to your peers about questions you're stuck with, then take any help your school offers, like extra Maths study sessions if they run them, even if you don't actually ask any questions in them and it's just to give you a place to study. Once you've covered enough content, try past papers too. For some topics, it is possible to make mind maps, like stats tests and projectiles, etc. with key equations and ideas on it and I thought that was very helpful. As well, annotating the formula sheet you'll get with other helpful formulas, so that during exams you can think of other equations that will be helpful but aren't provided, was really useful for me. Maths is a weird subject because it is hard to make or use a lot of revision resources for, but I hope it goes well for you!
