    What textbook are you using? If you're school isn't using the Cambridge one i suggest you get that one as well as there are a lot more 'extension' type questions there. Other than that do past papers and try staying ahead of the class by going ahead yourself.

    Physics or Chemistry

    I'd say chemistry has more 'rote-learning capability' although you still have to understand the concepts behind it. Physics has more maths in it but for a 2unit person that's fine, people do physics with general maths. Have a look at the syllabus for both courses and see which interests you...

    Get a tutor only if you feel like you need that extra help in a subject or if you are struggling to keep up. Have you had any tutors before? Since you are doing well across all your subjects you may not need one but its up to you.

    Try making notes at the end of each week according to the syllabus so that you are always staying on top of your notes, especially before all exams/assignments come at once.
