I don't think it is too late.
Say your first exam is in one months (so 3rd May)
Thats 30 days which you can revise.
If you can manage 2/3 hours every day, that's 60-90 hours of revision that you can do before your first exam.

My advice, focus on the exams that you have before half term.
Don't burn yourself out, take breaks and work little and often.
Personally I find that 3 hours is an ideal goal for me to revise each day.

Take it from someone who has completed their GCSE's and got 7's 8's and 9's, you've still got time !!!

Hi lovely - There is like 5 weeks left until the start of exams and trust me that is a lot of time. Don't regret the time you wasted, focus on the time you have left.
Don't overload your to do list - that makes it harder to start revising.
I'd aim for about 6 hours on the weekends/holidays but maybe 3 - 4 on a school day.

Make a timetable every week for everything you want to cover I'd recommend 2-3 topics should be covered in a week. Then do the same the following but make sure on the weekend you retest yourself on the topics you've gone through. You can simply do this with a 10 question retrieval quiz! Use blurting, mind maps and exam questions to help you revise. Mark schemes are also helpful as this gives the 'perfect answer'.

Keep going!

What grades are you working at?
