i used to use flora but i've sort of stopped that now because i just do revision as and when i'm able to!! but it is really useful as it tells you how much you have done overall!!
also if you put your phone in another room it is really helpful as once you get going you don't want to be distracted!
i also found that sometimes not charging my phone overnight and then plugging it in somewhere else while i studied meant i didn't use it as much! especially if you can avoid touching your phone in the morning, until after you tick off some revision, then you can focus more because your brain won't be constantly getting distracted thinking about other things!

good luck! i think you can definitely score really highly without revising, particularly if you have some knowledge of the vocab beforehand. I would say, if you want to do any, focus on vocab because you can kind of 'guess' the other grammar points in sentences so long as you have an idea of what they are trying to say! best of luck i'm sure you will do great
