struggling a lot with math - as level

hi everyone.
so i got my first term papers and in math ive done really really bad to the point where my teachers are telling me to drop the subject since its almost impossible for me to get an A or a B at least in my boards which are in may. I have no hope and my tchrs are constantly telling me to drop it now or else itll be too late. I really wanna continue math since I need it for my future career most probably. so could anyone give me any tips in which I'll be able to score an A in 5 months? I have my mocks coming up in march and I want to do rlly well. Please help 🙏 All resources, yt channels, links for exam style questions etc etc would be much appreciated.
our teachers dont give us much practice/ extra questions and just tell us to solve from the tbk so i cant depend on them either.
I dont know what happened to me this yr since i've done rlly good in math for my igcses so any help wud be appreciated.

i have nooo idea. i have a tutor that really helped me for my gcses but i feel like its kind of useless, nothing is going into my brain. I just dont understand how people who did relatively worse than me at gcse level are suddenly geniuses at a level maths (which yeah does sound egoistic) but god the gap between gcse and a level is horrid

The best advice I could give is to watch videos on topics you are weak in by the likes of Bicen Maths and TLmaths on youtube, once you watch their videos on the topics, do some textbook questions and then go on physics and maths tutor and do exam questions and you rinse and repeat this process for all of maths and you should get better
