pick a topic do the mixed exercise in the textbook. questions you cant do note them down and relearn that topic. to relearn the topic start by doing simpler questions first from the textbook, look at the examples given aswell. Then work your way up to the harder ones, if you find your struggling on them turn to a you tube video answer the questions alongside them. then attempt exam questions. it may take time starting from the easier questions but if thats what it takes to learn a topic and get it right in the exam then its worth it.

I recommend watching BicenMaths and TLMaths to learn the content. The CGP textbook is also really useful. Then do questions.

as a general sort of thought:
-write down all your topics ( do have an a level maths for aqa topic list if u want it)

rate your confidence on each out of five

start with your one star topics. watch TL maths videos, watch any videos you would usually use to help

attempt the questions in the video or use some very low level questions on the topic (MME/ SaveMyExams)

work your way up through the difficulty, adjust your star rating accordingly

once acquired enough skills, attempt some past papers


I take both A Level Maths & FM - so if you need anything explaining or want a hand I love explaining and teaching <33
