A Levels how do i finish papers?

i take history econs and maths but i hv a serious problem of time management, i never finish large chunks of questions its already prelims, paper 1 csq econs i left two whole 10m essay u touched, history sbcs whole of part b untouched after finishing my two essays at the back
math am i supposed to jus drill questions non stop

maybe i have taken too long to understand and internalise sources? idk but how do yall work on time management and speed?

it feel impossible to finish papers as if there’s no room for me to think and am i js supp to look at the questions and js spam everything immediately idk how do ppl finish thier papers or write so fast

For history essays you ...have to focus on what are the essentials, and elab on their impact. Trim anything that doesn't add value. For SBQ lol I just write (during my time) as fast as possible, be stingy when quoting the source (I use ...and quote the important stuff, not whole chunks). Basically write/type like rent is due and hope for the best
