Firstly, you need to realise that getting A*/100% in an exam is not about illustrating your understanding of the subject in question but rather your ability to satisfy specific criteria set by the examining board.

Focus on how your exam paper awards marks; know the syllabus and mark schemes inside out; learn about the person who sets the exams. Use past exam papers along with your course syllabus as indicators of what you need to learn. Identify and work on problematic areas - don't just wage through a textbook without purpose.
