past papers r gonna b ur best friend when getting a*’s as u familiarise urself with the questions and any u get wrong just keep going over them bc they tend to recycle questions each year

well i dont do any of those but Id say for content heavy subjects such as those make anki flashcards so you memorise everything there is to know. then go onto past papers and familiarise yourself with the style of question and how to apply your knowledge. also ask questions in class - this saves you having to reteach yourself topics you dont understand which can be time consuming
