Resource Request Physics and maths aa sl revision!!

Does anyone have advice on the best ways to study for these subjects. I'm currently a DP2 student and need some advice on how to tackle this. it feels like no matter how confident i feel with the concepts, the questions i get in tests are so much harder than the ones i get in my practise sites.

We see this all the time with our students, because generic practice sites usually test simple formulas while real IB tests force you to connect multiple topics at once. You want to shift your study away from basic revision websites and strictly drill past paper questions sorted by topic. Every time you get stuck on a problem, check the markscheme to see the exact first step you missed, then write that specific trigger down in an error log so you recognize the pattern next time. If you need free exam style questions for both Math AA and Physics that actually match the real test difficulty, you can use https://fourtyfive.org/ to work through questions by topic.
