I'm not even at a level yet but try anki I use it for GCSE biology to memorise information and it's great so you should look into it.

Around what time did you start revising and for how long , I’m really demotivated rn

To be honest we had weekly unit tests for biology so I was revising little sections the whole time. Up until Easter of year 13, I only did past papers that were set by my teacher as holiday homework in the summer and Christmas. I properly started revising around February half term. Although I will say every little bit helps. Just do a bit now to get you started and you’ll soon get on a roll. Also make a revision plan to hold you accountable

Also I forgot to mention I think during Christmas (for mocks) and Easter I was doing about 4 hours a day, but it’s hard to say during term time because a lot of class work and homework was kind of revision.
