I have a real experience. If you believe me, just try.
China: I never practice a lot. According to the task assigned by the teacher, I will finish it carefully. No matter how hard it is, I won't look at the answer. I always try to be right after I finish. I'm not fast. I like reading, that is, Chinese books. By the third year of high school, everyone was basically doing problems, and the contents of the books they had learned before were almost forgotten. In fact, the contents in the book are very good. You should read more, which will virtually improve your ability to do problems in many aspects. Senior three, read Chinese books repeatedly. I have a Chinese textbook called Selected Reading of Historical Records. I read through the book and found it not difficult to read ancient Chinese. Besides, I don't need a good notebook to take notes and excerpts. I use paper, cut it open, memorize sentences, put good poems in my pocket after memorizing them, and read them when I have time, which is very useful for improving my composition. I will get up early every morning to recite an excellent composition. Remember, it is rote learning!
English: English is still the same. Write it down with a note, put it in your pocket and read more.
You may find that you will forget English knowledge again and again, so you must remember it again and again. I recited the words of 10 English textbook three times in my senior year. We have a book that always reviews English. I recited the above grammar and word usage three times, and basically remembered which page had what content. Think back when it's okay. If you get stuck, don't let go. Look through the books and remember. I didn't do many questions either. I just carefully sorted out the information ordered by the school, revised it and took notes. English cannot be short of wrong problem sets. Don't be lazy to recite good sentences. Books and at most two materials are enough for you to do well in the exam. Sea tactics are not easy to learn.
I don't know which province you are from. Have you studied literature? I come from Jiangsu, so I studied political history.
Politics and history depend on your old heart. If you are not good at this, I still suggest you read books and read them again and again. Only by learning the book well can we keep changing!
Finally, I want to say that mentality is the most important. Learning is to improve yourself, not to be better than others.
If a student always studies in a better mood than others, he must be restless and always daydreaming. Whenever, concentrate on your own knowledge, don't look at what others are doing, and don't care what others have learned. Sometimes others will learn materials that you find very useful, and sometimes they will make more materials than you. Don't care about these. You just have to concentrate on doing your own thing and do it according to your own plan. I will definitely make progress and study hard.
I wish you success!
