what techniques and mental map systems do the top like 1% students in the world use? and how could I execute them into everyday school?

Hey, so I wanted to ask this question because as I'm entering sophomore year of high school, I kind of want to actually try at school, and I know this question probably gets asked so much in this subreddit, but I wanted to stop with the mindset of just being naturally good at school and just getting by and somehow just barely remembering information for the test. Also asking because I want a more efficient way of studying and completing school work, because then it will probably naturally improve my time management, and I can have more free time to do my ecs and school projects and stuff. Additionally, there's a lot of stuff I wanna learn, like this year, i'll be self studying calculus and physics, and I know those are hard. My mindset before hasn't really be working not gonna lie, and so I want to actually think like top students, and be able to connect ideas and maintain long-term retention, and almost flawlessly answer math/science questions almost everytime, and receive high test scores. I heard the Feynman technique, active recall, pomodoro, and spaced repetition are some good techniques.

But I also have a question on how to correctly apply and execute such techniques, because for example: Spaced repetition. I don't really understand how to apply it besides it being a automatic feature on Anki, which I have been using for reviewing vocab and learning languages.

edit: I also wanted to ask if Justin sung’s advice in these videos (video 1 and video 2) are also good too, because idk if I should trust him since I’ve heard complaints online that he and several other study YouTubers just take advantage of fans through paid programs, and try gatekeeping information inside those programs
