Yes. switch to past papers, at this stage flashcards are a waste of time. do as many past paper questions as you can per day and get a teacher to mark them. Start off doing them untimed, then as you get more confident with the exam technique, start timing yourself (ideally within next few weeks max)

I used to note my chains of analysis for economics rather than write out the whole 25 marker to save time and effort, but obviously i would mix that in with doing full papers under the normal time limit. you could try this method because it will help you cover a wider range of content & topics considering you only have 2 months remaining. Good luck!
