Failing A-levels and thus life

I have done 0 hours of revision for my A-Levels. Im taking maths, economics and politics. I have just done a round of mocks where I got C in econ, C in politics and a D in Maths. Ive been predicted an A, C and a D respectively. I am absolutely bricking it and feel like I am going to absolutely fail especially since I need 3 A's to meet my offer. Can I fix it this late?

Plenty of time.

For maths - complete your boards past papers and then the Solomon papers.

Ive got like a final round of mocks for maths coming up in like a week. What do I tell my teacher and head of year when I absolutely flunk it?
It isn’t impossible, you have ~7 weeks left and even though you’re doing hard subjects there are definitely people out there who got 3 A* in 7 weeks.Time is the most important essence that you have, pick a CGP book and revise.Do you now how many kids are in the world who just want education even if it means that they will have a test(s) in 7 weeks?A-levels are one step closer to be someone or something that has the ability to achieve greater heights.Sleep at 10 o’clock and wake up at 4 am, to do what you may ask?REVISE, never give up
Try wat u can. Otherwise u can always retake. You havent failed son. Theres always alternatives.
Mate chill.
Honestly maths you can get higher you've just got to consume every possible paper out there, Economics ngl you've got to do as many long answer (like 25 mark) questions as possible on pretty much every topic on the syllabus, even if you only do it once it'll help (but otherwise just go through each topic and go over the main parts) that might not get you an A but it'll get you at least a B. No idea about politics tho soz

I do the exact same subjects as you. I don’t think it’s too late. For maths do loads of past papers, identify you weaknesses and work on them. For politics make loads of essay plans and perhaps flash cards for key quotes, fact and definitions. For economics do questions and revise content by making and going through flash cards.

Doing Unit 1, unit 3b and 4b for gov pol. For maths Im doing c1, c1, c3, c4, s1, m1. Would say I am shaky on all of gov pol. Am confident on c1, m1. Could fix up stats and c2 with like 10 hours of solid work. c3 and c4 are giving me nightmares. Econ is probably my best.
