It depends on what you want to revise... For equations or units, I use the quizlet app to revise them (if I don't have access to WiFi I use paper flashcards). For more longer questions (eg 4 or 6 mark ones) I find past papers the most effective. I know they can be boring at times, but (in my opinion) they're the best and most effective way to revise as they are the most similar to a real exam as well as allow you to practice exam skills. Also answering questions under timed conditions help (aim for 1 mark per minute). Though sometimes if I'm bored of doing past papers I will make an A4 poster just condensing a topic (eg energy resources). Hope this helps.
