Past papers.

Generic answer but it really is the best way to revise maths especially.

Yep, past papers. That's really about it. I'd also recommend ExamSolutions the website, as they give talk throughs on anything you're unsure of.

With maths it's a case of practising the knowledge you know, and enhancing the knowledge you don't. It's the only subject where doing questions is the single thing that helps revise.

Also, get a spec list. A unit overview of all that needs knowing, and tick it off with levels of confidence per topic every now and then. It keeps you on track for the exam, and let's you know what you do and don't need to work on.
