A level Econ help

I’m currently in Year 13 and sitting my first paper on 12th May. I’m struggling to revise Econ because I feel like I already know all the content, I’ve never got anything less than an A* in all the mock exams and tests that we’ve done in class with barely any revision and because of this I have no motivation to revise. When I do go over the content I feel like it’s pointless since I know it already. I’m just wondering if anyone feels the same or if anyone knows a solution to this.

Not doing econ, but experience the same in GCSE Chemistry. Just go over it, and embed it in your brain, as the more you go over it, the less chance you'll forget

That's completely fine. I was also like this last year during my A levels. But I still kept revising the keywords and important points as well as practicing past papers (even the ones I had practiced before)

Memorise the definitions of keywords (I used flashcards to learn keywords). This will ensure that you secure at least those knowledge marks. Once you know all the definitions, go through them every other day so that you don't forget them.
Reading content won't help until you learn how to develop chains of analysis and write good evaluations. If you struggle with analysis and evaluations, watch videos of EconPlusDal. This guy is the reason I got A* in economics. Once you learn how to analyse and evaluate, practice past papers. Keep practising even after you feel like you don't need to.

In Year 12 I think the most important thing is truly understanding the basics of Econ, in my case it kind of just clicked for me and from then I was able just to write essays over 20 marks everytime. Especially macroeconomics, there is so many things in macro that can be linked you just have understand economics. If you want to learn content, then watch EconPlusDal. He gives good explanations as to why things happen and he helps with evaluating points in essays.
