I think it depends on what subjects you do and the way in which you're being taught them.

For example, I'll finish Unit 3 of Government and Politics next month, and I'll be moving onto Unit 4 after mocks in January. My plan is to, whilst doing Unit 4, do 1/2 hours of U3 recap per week, so that I don't forget the content, and do essays for it on a fortnightly basis.

I started my revision last year during the Easter holidays and my results were fairly good, but for A2, I might start working a little bit earlier, especially as I have one AS resit to do. The only problem with starting so early is that you can easily run out of past papers, so choose wisely.
