Maybe you haven't been properly introduced to BTECs. BTECs, unlike A-Levels are not courses you can revise for. Instead these are practical and coursework based courses where you graded for your work, called assignments. These assignments involve researching, gathering information, producing reports and writing answers to given scenarions. BTECs also don't have exams, they just have assignments. They're pretty easy to do and any guidance that will secure you the best mark possible can only be given by your teacher since who knows what Unit you're doing and the assessment criteria. So, you can relax for now until you start the course. Hope this helped.

Oh, any BTEC at my college did not require it so I spoke from my personal experience. My bad. Hope you get someone to give you a better-informed answer.

From someone who had to do there btec in aeronautical engineering by self teaching , you do realise btecs are a constant assignment. You might have one or two exams in the whole year that you sit but every 2 weeks you get an assignment. The best thing is to a listen in class all the time and take notes, ideally get your self a laptop to write alot of this information down in class. Second start on your assignment the day its given and you have 2 weeks. Depends on how you do them and the type your require to write. I had to write constantly an engineer technical report. Another thing is planning as you will get 3 assignments to do over the space of 2 weeks. You need to make sure yir planned ahead and do all 3
