This is an excellent strategy and this practise will surely help you a lot. Try and solve past papers and get them checked from a good teacher/Csp so that you could knoe your loopholes and improve them.

This is one of the best practise to boost your score and for me the month of January should be dedicated to revision and tests.

Wish you Good Luck
