Hi there, I'm not doing OCR A board for Physics, I'm doing CAIE, but I will offer advice on what I can. What I did was annotate the spec. So annotate the OCR A Physics spec with what you remember. Take it topic by topic and put on what you know. Then look over what you missed from your notes and add them in to the spec points without looking at your notes. And repeat this process for all topic specs. Alternatively, you can do past papers from PMT or other sites which offer past papers, then do those papers and see which areas you messed up on and redo those topics until you're confident on them, then do some topic questions from Savemyexams (for your OCR A exam board for physics) and once confident with the topic, do more past papers and repeat that. Or just see which areas you are weak at and re-look over your notes/PMT/Savemyexams notes on those topics and then work backwards, from your weakest topic to your strongest.

Since you have 2 exams, focus on the topics which are coming on the FIRST AS exam, then repeat for the second AS exam.

Good luck and hope this helps!

i made mind maps of all the topics and then stuck the about on walks, then i tried doing spaced repetition flashcards (think i used studysmarter for this) and then just a bunch of practice papers aswell. practice papers really helped me to work out what the exam board were looking for in answers

I do the same exam board, and I found that worksheets from The Online Physics Tutor (https://theonlinephysicstutor.com/ocr-a-physics-worksheets.html) helped me if you need more practice questions. But I think they may combine the AS and A Level content which may not help you.
Otherwise, I suggest trying Physics and Maths tutor who have a ton of questions and past papers

As for techniques: I personally struggled with the definitions and explanations so I focused a lot on learning them with flashcards I made. I also spent a while going through the practicals in case they were on a 6 mark question.

Hope this helps
