Impossible to say, too dependent on your interview at this point (assuming the maths doesn’t cause a rejection).

Why on earth are you stressing. With those stats I’d be extremely surprised if you do not get invited to interview.

I used Anki for bio and chem , was a lifesaver in terms of remembering content
if they don't help you, don't waste time making notes
just try to stay on top of your work as much as you can!

also obviously all the usual stuff like exam practice

Probably a pretty good chance, I got into Oxford (though for law not natural sciences) with the same GCSE grades as you and predicted grades A*AA, and the only extra curriculars on my personal statement were things like books I'd read and an Open University online course I'd done

Yeah I mean you've got epic grades and such, I'd be really surprised if you didn't at least get an interview.
The major thing with Oxbridge are those interviews because (for Cambridge at least) they don't have a set number of students, they just take those who they think are really passionate about the subject.
