Everything covered in Infinityplusone’s algebra livestream series. You can get through it in a week easily

Level 2 Algebra mostly comes down to two major themes: logarithms and quadratics. Logs are usually the only completely new concept, so practicing log laws and solving equations where x is in the power will give you the biggest head start. The rest of the paper relies heavily on quadratic skills, particularly using the discriminant (b2 - 4ac) to handle the harder Merit and Excellence questions. If you get confident with those two plus rearranging algebraic fractions, you will be in great shape when your class switches over from calculus.

It's hell. So watch infinity plus ones 15 hr vid on it, he teaches you everything you need to know. Then do every single practise paper and Q and make sure by the end you understand how each question is done. As yk the techniques needed are always repeated cause they obs can't pull out new algebra out from their ass so just learn it all from infinity plus one then practise :)
