If you are not bothered to understand important maths concepts, then there really is no one that can help you unless you start changing your attitude around.

literally go through the basics again - seems like you don't have a grasp of those. you obvs can't expect to dive into past papers without understanding the basics

it's just a little late though...? good luck

Brett much understand the basics and apply the techniques to the higher mathematical concepts

This or time yourself on each question you do.
Give yourself 2-3minutes.

Then you need to start practicing doing hard questions. If not then ext 2 might not be for you

You really should've paid attention during class and ask for help as required. Surely though, you understand most of it? (just not the really tricky concepts). So it's not that bad.
As for advice - try woo tube. Or read several textbooks and actually understand the example questions. Alternatively, spam your class teacher today with all the questions you have.

Another method is simply doing the past paper (as much as you can anyway) and read/understand the solutions for the questions you don't know how to do. Exam questions tend to repeat themselves in similar forms so this strategy could work if the exam is extremely nervous and you don't have enough time.
