How do you study computer Science?

besides flashcards and past papers what else can you do?

there's not a massive amount more you need to do since gcse computer science doesn't have that much content, the only other thing you can really do is improve your coding skills so you're comfortable if any coding related questions come up - there are plenty of coding challenges for this. particularly practise coding using structures like 2d arrays, records, etc. if you have any books like cgp revision guides or pgonline you could use the questions in these, otherwise that's basically it and to be honest that's all you need

depends if you're really into computer science or you just want to do well in the gcse subject because if it's the first i'd say leetcode problems and project euler are useful, if you're looking just to practise for the exam i'd just look up coding questions for practice aimed at gcse like https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/202838-20-code-challenges.pdf or https://www.gcsecs.com/gcse-python-questions.html
