BPho Round 1 What do I need to learn?

I know it’s a bit late to start revising for the Olympiad, but I've decided to enter last minute. I'm looking for any recommendations on key topics I should focus on learning to prepare effectively. Any help will be appreciated.

ibr the hardest part about bpho1 is the type of question and the time pressure. Content shouldn't be an issue. If you have a good understanding of AS and early A2 physics, you'll be fine in that regard, but the real issue is thinking outside the box and the problem solving side of it. If you do all of the past papers, that should be more than enough prep. If there is consistently a topic that you struggle w in the past papers, might be worth going back over the a lvl textbook for that stuff (or yt videos). Also, when doing past papers, id reccomend doing all of the p2 questions (ie not just picking 2/5 or whtvr) because you dont know the kind of stuff they will come up with and you dont want to be stuck w 5 options you havent practised (ie if you dont like optics/waves, dont be scared of the diffraction questions and not do them)
