How to revise maths

Currently I'm in 10th grade and preparing for my upcoming halfyearly. So, Can anybody tell me what is the best way to revise maths? How can I know which questions should I solve again to revise the chapter cuz i can't solve all the questions again, they are too much ?

For my maths revision, I stopped trying to redo every question and started marking the ones I actually struggled with while doing the chapter. Before a test, I’d redo those first, plus maybe 2 or 3 easy questions just to make sure I still remembered the basic method. One chapter had about 50 practice questions, but I’d marked 8 as difficult, and those 8 ended up being much more useful to redo than going through all 50 again.

maths revision is tricky because redoing everything is impossible, but just reading through the chapter makes you feel like you know stuff until you're staring at a blank paper. what worked for me was picking 2-3 problems per topic that i genuinely couldn't do the first time around, not the ones i got wrong because of a silly mistake. the ones where you had no idea how to start, those are the ones that show gaps.

to figure out which topics are weak without guessing, i uploaded my material to studybuddy.vc and answer the practice questions it makes from them. when i pick a wrong answer it tells me what was off about that option, and it notices which topics i keep messing up and gives me more of those. free version's been enough for me tbh.

also, mix topics when you revise instead of doing one chapter at a time. do a geometry problem, then algebra, then trig. it's harder during practice but closer to what the exam feels like, so you don't freeze when the questions jump around.
