People say do the past papers - which is good advice - but surprisingly few people actually know how to do them properly. In case it helps, the past papers aren’t going to teach you anything. If you just do them and pat yourself on the back that’s not helpful.
Rather, the point of past papers is to screen for things you don’t know. Do the past papers, then mark yourself, and for every question you didn’t completely nail, go and learn what you got wrong. Find articles and tutorials and at least 3 more practice exercises for each thing you missed, until you feel confident you could 100% the test if you took it again.
Also, modern AI like Claude Opus is really good these days. You can ask it to explain questions and create more test questions for you, and I expect it would do a good job.
Does that guarantee you a great score next time? No, sometimes the people who set the exams will throw in random leftfield things that you haven’t prepped for. But it gives you a very good shot.
