My number 1 tip would be "just go and bloody revise". You've probably wasted more time worrying about a revision timetable than you have revising. :wink:

You make a revision timetable by splitting up your time into slots (revision should never really go past an hour in one sitting, then a break of about 20 minutes), and deciding how much time you need to dedicate to each thing and dedicating your time accordingly. Then sticking to it. That's all. There's no great motive behind it - you just put something on paper and stick to it, to make sure you have everything done you need done before the exam.

Decide how long you can realistially concentrate before needing a break. The recommended amount is 20 minutes, but for some people it's 25, 30, 40, 45 or an hour, so it varies. Then take a short brea; 5 minutes if you've only been revising for 20 or 25 minutes, 10 minutes if you've been revising for 30 or 40 minutes or 15 minutes if you've been revising for 45 minutes or an hour. Decide how many hours you can realistically do per day that leaves you enough time to fit everything else in and relax, but that will also be enough to get you the grades you're aiming for. Decide which subjects/topics, if any, you need to prioritise and whether you'd prefer to do one subject/topic per day or mix them up. Then make a timetable that takes into account all this information.
