We all had and need a social life. Just work hard at school and do what you're supposed to do and you'll be fine.
I sailed through GCSE's simply by listening in class and doing homework and revising a day or two before the exam. For GCSE's you really don't need to be obsessively revising, you need to be out having fun and doing what you need to do before A-Level's hit you in the face like a ton of bricks

See, I do believe that that works for some as it did for my friend but it also doesn't for many. I'm giving my experience and I thought mocks were a good time to test that and I came out with D's in my strongest subjects then I prepared for tests and practise exams and got A's and A*'s so I really do have to disagree but I'm sure you're right for some.
Well. That depends on the courses you're studying and numerous other things.
Easter is the last chance period to start I'd say so any time before that, probably just a couple/few weeks!
I'm doing a lot of courses so I don't want to spend too much time revising for a subject and end up failing others, so do you have any tips on how to be organised?

Yes it works for most, not all, some people need to work for specific subjects and what not but that doesn't mean they have to obsessively revise. There's options for extra support offered in schools etc, which means there's no need to be spending loads of time revising and not spending time doing anything else.
I have been through GCSE's and A-Levels
I was one of those people who took GCSE's too seriously, but now reflecting on it, I shouldn't have, because honestly, it's not worth it in the bigger picture.

Organise your notes. I found flash cards to be the best thing, you're going over things and learning the information again and then writing it down. It's very good active revision. You're also condensing down the notes to what's relevant. I never found timetable's helpful at all but you might. I must also add that the Get Revising site is very useful for revision guidance and notes and to make a timetable.

You'll understand this once you start A-Level's.
I don't believe in obsessively revising, I believe in spreading it out in chunks. I believe in a balance. I was not disagreeing with what you said but I was disagreeing with doing it a day before or whatever, that was all.

Well I had something like 26 exams mainly in one big chunk so I really had no choice but to do that, but because I had actually listened in class throughout the year and done homeworks etc, I still done well

Yes, that's what I was getting it - for some people it has to work. For some it just doesn't. I always done homework on time and well and listened in class but still had to revise a lot! Oh well, I guess it's just what we said first off, it depends on the person!
