I find youtube the most useful resource and making sure I'm redoing questions from mini tests I've done in class. Best youtubers I've found are Bicen Maths and zeeshan zamurred.
If you're trying to learn it quick and maximise your percentage for mocks then I'd mainly focus on pure (and a little mechanics) since stats has kinda a lot to remember and it's not even worth much. Remember to go over it for ur actual a level tho.
Doing lots of questions is pretty good too- I like using revisely and occasionally MadAsMaths (only the last few ones).
I hope your test goes well and best of luck!

Try TLmaths on YouTube as well. It’s got great quick explanations for every topic. I’m doing A-levels homeschooled and this is one of my main resources

DR Frost is good as it goes through everything and you can focus on weaker topics.

Do not use Madas as someone suggested - it's out of date
