Use active revision techniques - write your own questions and answer them or use past papers.
Spaced repetition - keep going over different subjects you are more likely to retain the information.
Past papers - these are such a great tool, do the papers without any notes, then go back with notes afterwards if you need to, look at the mark scheme and the marking criteria - really pay attention to where the marks come from and what you need to do to get the marks.
Start early - start revising as early in the year as possible, then when it comes to the exams you will feel much more relaxed and have much less to do
Rest lots - do not sacrifice your sleep or doing things that relax you. You need sleep to remember things and to work well.
I hope these help! Good luck with your exams!
