preparing for y10 summer mocks

hi to all of the lovely people reading this !!

i have a question (quite a lengthy one, however)...
how the hell do you make a timetable for revising for all of these mocks, and get 8s + 9s in them??? (ideally 9s ofc, but i'd like to be a bit kind to myself) i am revising rn (in lil amounts since i've been dumped w hw, and i will be revising at least 5 hours every day in the half term (dw, it's the most effective for me))
our exam timetable was given to us yesterday - it's in a span of two weeks, and there are in total 12 exams... ew.
anyways, the times when we don't have exams (e.g. like in the afternoon or smth), we are given time to revise. I did check my school calendar and apparently we are supposed to be given two weeks to revise before easter holidays, and when school opens we have another whole week to revise before the exams start. if this is true (as i doubt the one where we can revise two weeks before half-term starts), then this is absolutely amazing!! but yk, still, confusing
i definitely get that it is not as stressful as gcses, so i'm not trying to sound like a whiny brat (pinky promise) but i can't lie, this is confusing me.

i'm not sure if giving my exam timetable would help, but this is just my general query.

thank you for taking the time to read this <3

hey, what I did to create my revision timetable is with chatgpt. honestly, sometimes it was a bit slow, but you can alter it however you want and then you can just put it on paper or a document etc.
hope your exams go well x

Hey!! I'm doing my yr 10 mocks right after easter and this is how I've planned it, so basically what i did was i drew a 3 timetables, 1 for each week i have to revise and i wrote down the timings on one side and day of the week on the top. then i wrote out all the topics of content i need to revise on little post it notes and i put them in the different boxes on the timetable. I've allocated the first 2 weeks as content weeks where ill revise all the content i need and then the 3rd week is for past papers and questions. We also get to revise during the exam week and i haven't made a plan for that yet but i think I'll just print off some extra past papers that i can do during that time.
Hope you do well in your exams x
