Some ideas and resources:
This link is a good one if you want to go through everything again.
(it approaches things in a different way and a different order to how we have done things in lessons so you may find it useful if you have missed lessons or if there are areas you have not understood).
Or you could through bits of it. It is full of exercises together with answers. There is a full practice Grade 5 theory paper on the site as well.
Italian Terms, Scale Degrees, dynamic markings, articulation markings, clefs: these are all things that are just a matter of learning... You could get together with a class mate to test one another or make cue cards for yourself...
Scales: all the information you need is on the blog. I think the best way of revising this is just to practise writing them all out. With and without key signatures. You may wish to fill in a blank circle of fifths like we did in the lesson. You can find one here. You might want to practise writing out chromatic scales as well.
Chords: again, writing them out would be useful. Make sure you have read and understood the information on inversions.
Intervals: I would recommend that you work out a method that is going to work for you! This could be working it out from major scales or counting semitones.
You can buy past papers from various places if you want to practise and gain more familiarity with the format.
