How to do well in AS Level with just three months of revision?

So I have three months till my AS exams, and I wan to know if I can complete all my revision and do well in AS. Keep in mind that I did poorly as my mocks with a 3 U's and a D as I do zero revision for them.

Past papers, past papers, past papers.
Do them, get them marked. Identify your weaknesses and do more study/extra questions from textbook etc. in that area.

Did you attend all your classes?
You have plenty of time to smash them. Start fixing up now and you will be fine...

Would past papers still be helpful seeing as the structure and spec for A levels have now changed?
I'm in the same sinking boat as you guys

3 months is more than enough if you're committed. If you study properly, and I mean properly (no more moments of "burn out" or "procrastination"), then it would be kind of hard to imagine anyone achieving under a B. Honestly for 3 months if you were deliberately studying I would expect at least an A.
My teacher told me to start revising 5 days ago - 3 months is not long but long enough to cover everything.

I've started revising for 4-6 hours a day every week including weekends.

If that is so then how come UUUD? Just by osmosis and memory you shouldn't have done that bad. Not even close.

Maybe he didn't put much into his revising and IS going to for these following 3 months.

Getting UUUD should be net to impossible even without revising at all. If you attended the classes (and stayed awake) enough of the material should have sunk in to get maybe a B and certainly C grades.
