You have 24 hours per day. See how many hours your spend in school, eating, showering, etc. The rest of the time, just study.

Study intensely for 25 minutes and give a 5 minute break. Do this for all the free time you have.

If you have 12 days, spend like 4 days revising and 6 days solving QPs. The other 2 days, study for the first exam you have. Also, look at the specification of each subject before revising (if you haven't already) and revise according to the specification.

Btw, what subjects do you have?

There are some really good cramming sites and fast revision sites you should use. Seneca Learning is super and Quizlet can be very useful as you can find pre-made quizzes and flashcards.
I'd basically advice going through the content as quickly as possible, to ensure that you're familiar with it, and then spend as much time as possible testing. use as many ways of testing as possible (online tests, flashcards, handwritten pop quizzes, past paper qus, textbook qus) as the variety makes you remember it better and makes you more competent at answering questions. Good luck!
how are you supposed to aim for B's if you've never seen a past paper....
