When is it to late to start revising for GCSEs?

The sensible answer would be that revision should have been happening consistently through mocks and that by the time it gets to march you generally need to be reviewing everything you've learnt up till that point and revising anything you learn through to exams - but that's if you're taking the route of low stress and thorough revision. Truthfully, I know people who have revised with a month to spare and gotten excellent results, but they've also had like no sleep and been revising for hours on end a day so it depends how much you value your sleep. The spaces between exams generally mean you can get away with revising a few days before, but if you try and do everything the night before it simply won't be possible.

i 2nd the answer given above, but also just consider how capable you are in dealing with a hefty workload. you may be better suited to couple hrs a day over months, or cramming it in short periods of time. model your revision to your circumstances, and the cliche ofc is that its never too late. best of luck.
