Best way to revise A level maths?

Currently studying 4 a levels and am the most concerned about Maths
I achieved a C in my February exams and would like to get an A in my exams in September
Any tips?

The prep books are really nice they cover comprehensive review. if you have 2 months you'll need at least 10 practice problems per big topic and at least 6 practice problems for each small topic.

Algebra
Polynomials
Quadratics
Completing the square
Complex numbers / i
Logarithms
Exponents
e
Trig
Sin cos tan
Arcsin arccos arctan
Unit circle
Parametric equations
Calculus
Tangent line
Limits
Squeeze thereom
Differentiation

Riemann sums
U substitution
Volumes
Differential equations

As you study towards the harder and later topics make sure you review older topics. I didn't do this so my results sucked, my 2 cents.

Make sure you have your notes for the first year content completed. Notes are mainly examples with annotations.
Personally I also condense down the info for a topic onto one side of lined paper for use when a big exam comes up so i dont have to lug my detailed notes to school.

Apart from that, I would spend whatever free time u have between now and september ensuring your AS knowledge is solid and test ur skills by doing papers and questions. At the same time, if u want, start making notes for the 2nd year content
