How to make time to revise properly

A bit of context, I have mocks starting December 4th and I don’t feel like I’ve made enough time to revise properly.

On Mondays I would normally have French intervention from 3-4(I don’t think I’m going to go back) but I can’t come back from school early because I have to wait for my sister to finish her afterschool club. After that I have English tuition from 5-6 which I can make time to revise from like 6:30-8.

Then on Tuesdays I have maths intervention from 3-4 then tuition from 5:30-7:30. By the time I come back I feel really tired so I don’t think I’ll revise after that and I don’t really want to revise after 8:00 at this stage.

Wednesday is my freest days as I only have history intervention for 3-4, with the rest of the day off.

Thursday I have geography intervention from 3-4 then science tuition on like 5-6 or 6-7 depending who out of my sister goes first.

Friday I have English tuition again from 5-6.

Saturday I have science tuition from 3-4 or 4-5.

These tuitions and interventions are useful but we only do exam skills but never revision content or people just aren’t working at my pace. Like we just focus on one topic for an hour when I know I can do it faster.

I also feel like I just haven’t gotten much time to do my other subjects like history, geography, re and sciences in detail. We also get so much homework which is useful but it’s not always about the mock.

The subjects I do is higher maths, triple science, higher French, history, geography, re, English lit and lang.

Heyy, my mocks start litrally two dats before yours, and yesterday i thought the exact same thing.
As someone who is terrible at following timetables i came up with a different system so i can get all the revision done in the next two few weeks.
Basically on a paper, ive put down every subject and then one or two revision techniques for that subject, so for e.g english lit, watch macbeth analysis videos and do esq.
Then for each week make a list of what you need to do reveion wise, only extra revision dont include hw and that stuff. Then make aure that in the week, whether you do it over two days, or a bit everyday, you get everything on the list done.
So for me this week, ive got to revise set nimber of unita for triple sci, macbeth, do a history practice essay etc.
i hope this is a bit helpful, good luck!!
