Is it too late to start revising?

My higher exams start in just over three weeks and my worst ones are all either then or pretty soon after that. I haven't done much revision, just cramming for mid unit assessments and the prelims in january. My level of understanding varies for each subject, for example, I got A*, A, A in my prelims for history, biology and art but only C for english and a fail for maths :frown:. English and maths are my two worst as you could probably guess and I don't know if i've left it too late to revise. I am aiming for all A's or at least a B in maths but I am wondering if I have left it too late to have any chance of meeting my target. If it's not too late, what actions should i take? I am about to make a study timetable but I have no idea how much i'd be able to do in the time I set myself as I am quite bad at being realistic and always set my goals too high. Any advice? Thanks :smile:

It's never too late to start revising!

Here's a link to the Study Planner on TSR. It's a really useful tool and it's free to use. :smile:

Try to set yourself realistic goals and take plenty of breaks to stay motivated! I'd spend a little more time on the subjects you're struggling with, but don't neglect your strong subjects altogether.

Good luck. :smile:
