Advice on how to catch up

I just recently moved to the UK from South Africa where we were on a different curriculum and did not do GCSEs.I however was told that because I am turning 17 in June I have to do A-Levels. I started A-Levels (Maths, Physics, and Business Studies) online in January at King's Interhigh. When I started I was 15 weeks behind and I am still not up to date. I will only be writing exams in October/November so I do have a bit of time but I do not even know where to begin in catching up as I am now about 24 weeks behind. Any advice on how to catch up and where to even start will be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, if you are so behind, the best thing for your future would to be resit year 12. You will be better off resitting the year not being completely overwhelmed and getting better grades, than rushing to catch up.
