For maths, I used sparx and then did loads of past papers. For sciences, I used a blend of methods:

1) PMT Flashcards
2) Cognito
3) Blurting
4) Past papers

I would do it in that order and it really helped me consolidate information by using different methods.

For english, i made flashcards to remember quotes, used cgp books and blurted key themes and characters and wrote down quotes related to those.
