havent started revising for alevels!

ive got my alevels this yr, and im not sure if I should be stressed I haven't started revising for AS or A2 for any of my subjects, im so busy trying to understand A2 concepts, I dont have time for revision? the more and more Im focusing on the new topics, the more Im forgetting each day about all my subjects! im so scared I wont have time to relearn everything let alone do papers, Idk how to manage my time? how do I make an effective timetable? normally it takes me a whole day to just read notes and do papers for one single topic, so idk how I will condense that to 2 hrs for example? ive got so many notes like 100s sheets just for 1 topic and that also stresses me out, im literally an example of everything a student shouldn't be

I think the problem you are facing is not revising/ studying at your optimum and as smart as you can. For me, this means working in a quiet place ie. the library, and turning my phone off to avoid distractions. In addition: I've adapted my study techniques from listening to this Cambridge Medic talk about the most effective, research-backed, methods into studying most effectively. Watch in this order:

Don’t think like that. What you need to do is buy revision guides. Use those to go over information (what I would say is, focusing on a chapter at a time, read through the whole thing for each topic) and then once you’ve done that start practicing essay answers - and ask your tutor(s) to mark these for you.
Good study is a process, you need to learn, revise, re-learn what you didn’t understand the first time round, then test yourself with essay style questions and lastly, work on feedback from tutors to improve your grades.

It sounds really scary but as a fellow lazy student, I promise you - getting started is the toughest part!

Good luck with A-levels

Make a schedule, I personally use google calender and give yourself a respectful time for everything you need to do in a week. Don't make your schedule a damn prison! Many people make that mistake and begin to have unmotivation. Aim to be as accurate as you can with your schedule, you don't always have to stick with it. Use it as a guideline. I don't care if you hit 50% accuracy, what I care about is the attitude you have to increase that, go 51% or 50% and a half? because that increase is only going to spiral you upwards!
