Revision tips for a level physics

Physics always feels like a drag to revise, when looking over the syllabus (i take OCR A) i feel like i understand the concepts well enough to be able to attempt some questions, however, after having at it at some PMT questions, i leave my desk disheartened and feeling dumb. I struggle to find ‘easier’ questions to help solidify my knowledge for physics, and whenever doing practice questions, it feels like im thrown in the deep end. Any advice!?
