What subjects are you doing?
Get everything you need to know in one place.
I did "bible books" where I would have the entire subject in one book, i.e all of history or all of science. These take hours so only do these if you're prepared to finish them as they are useless half done.
Other wise summary sheets are good - either on an A3 sheet of paper on A4 (I tend to use powerpoint or photoshop as I can't write) and put everything for that topic on the sheet. I.e plants in biology would have it's own sheet. There will be several of these for each subject but they are really helpful. I would have two copies of each, one in my book and one on my wall.
Another really good method is flashcards. Either make your own paper ones or use someone else's ones on Quizlet (especially in languages/science) do them everyday and you will learn everything you need to.
I also like the splurge method, especially with mind maps. Write everything you can remember about a topic in pen on a sheet of A4 paper without looking at any notes then look at your notes and add missing parts with a different coloured pen. Write the topic in the middle and you have a mind map of the topic showing what you know and don't know. I did this everyday for about 2 weeks leading up to my english exams and led me to learn so many quotes.
I wouldn't start looking at content until christmas but once you get to Easter put your heart into it. I worked solidly from Easter onwards and that is what got me my grades rather than my work previously. Also revision guides are super helpful
