I was a 4 in December and got a 7 this year and I'm now doing A-Level maths and physics.

Do every single practice paper you can get your hands on, then repeat them. Identify the topics on questions you suck at and consult a textbook or a video or a tutor and learn how to answer those questions. Repeat until you're happy with your percentages.
