politics mock in 3 weeks and i don’t know content 💔💔 pls help

okay before anyone says it, i know it’s my own fault. i messed around in my y12 politics classes too much, didn’t bother learning content and treated the lessons like gossip sessions about tory scandals instead of getting my work done 😭😭 my attendance was also 76% and i coincidentally missed politics a lot but never caught up on work.
i think i’m solid when it comes to my other subjects. i’m predicted an A in sociology and have been getting A*s on my last few essays. had a mini mock for philosophy last week and i was 1 mark off a B when i literally revised the wrong topic.
politics however……… i genuinely hardly know anything for component 1. my mock’s on jan 9th, and i’d genuinely be happy if i just got a D. i’m predicted a C but ik that’s probably just bcs my teachers didn’t want to predict me any lower out of pity.
i would really appreciate any advice y’all might have for how i can start revising year 12 content for politics, i’ve honestly tried but it’s all confusing and i can’t make sense of it. i’m actually doing great with the year 13 content somehow, but for the life of me i can’t wrap my head around UK politics - only US.
tysm in advance, any and all tips would be great 😭x

I would say I'm in a similar situation as you, y13, weakest a level is politics. But, I have managed to get better marks in some of my essays because of revision strategies.
First thing's first, don't dwell too much on the past, you've missed a lot of content - that's all you need to know. Now focus on what needs to be done. On a short timescale of 3 weeks, essay plans are the best thing you could spend your time on. Just go through your spec (i do edexcel) and make essay plans about what could come up on each topic. Then fill in your essay plans with examples you could use, try make them overarching, where they are applicable for more than one essay.
Another issue may arise if you don't know the content, for example, if you don't know how the UK electoral system works, you may struggle to write an essay with sufficient knowledge. Learn the BASICS. You don't have the time to know every detail of all the areas you've got a gap in knowledge in, so just focus on the summary and a good overview of the topic.
Try simplify what you need to know, covering the basics of every topic, eventually building up your foundations.
Hope this helps! And best of luck
Let me know if you need any more information
