Maybe look for harder level question packs? with maths it's about how you look at the problem so learning stuff won't really be a big thing cause it's more on application of what you've learnt
do loads of past papers- the structure of questions are still the same basically throughout the whole paper (assuming you do edexcel) eg: it will most likely start with percentages or a numbers one, then halfway through there will be a page of algebraic formulas to rearrange etc and at the end it'll be the big topics like vectors, circle theorems, probability trees etc

make sure you have enough time esp to do the last few questions which are worth a lot of marks

get your teacher to go through stuff you dont get on the past papers that you're doing or ask someone else

Get a tutor
annoy your teacher, go and see them every single day with questions, past papers to mark and general maths problems that you need help with
do every past paper in your exam board!
Get your teacher to sit with you and go through past papers with you!
