The simple answer is it depends on the subject but revision.
Very few people can just "wing" a levels as they are so much content (sadly💔)
Subjects like maths or sciences will have a right or wrong answer so past papers and revision are usually the best way to ensure top grades. Essay based subjects like humanities can be a bit tricker to mark so I would recommend practice essays and getting your teacher to mark them. I personally have found my essay based subjects to require more depth and understanding eg. Wider reading, where as sciences is more about having precise knowledge. (Just for me personally)
Overall, revise using active recall.
