Best and efficent way to revise

I just need to know as someone whose got mocks creeping in and not really having the experiance of an actual exam conditioned assesment. How can i futher strengthen my Maths.
What I do for Maths is that I make a list in order of the topics I am least confident in, to the ones I am most confident in at the bottom. I watch a few minutes of a summary on the topic I am on, and I like to make a 'cheat sheet' which is basically 1 A4 sheet (both sides if you want) of all the formulae and rules (and things that I always forget) that aren't on the formula booklet. Then I answer topic questions and past papers using the cheat sheet. This just helps me know what I actually understand (with the correct formulae) and which I don't even with the cheat sheet. That's how I know what I need to work on by doing more examples and watching more videos. Then I repeat without the cheat sheet, and do questions and past papers, so I can know which formulae I am struggling to remember, and what topics I still don't understand. This revision method is similar to an open book test at school, and then a closed one after. It's basically a repeat of this for each topic. You probably hear this a lot, but try and do lots of practice questions! Hope that helps.
