starting revision in feb..

1

hi guys, i need to give a lot of context here.
so i’m an a level student in year 13, i’m doing a level bio, chem and english language. it’s 18th feb, and i’ve got mocks on the 23rd (chem, english) and 24th (bio). basically, in year 12 i mostly only revised for bio, and that mainly for mocks only. never consistent revision. and it was okay since i got c’s without revising. for english, i never revised and i’d get c’s and b’s. for chemistry, i never revised either but i got u’s (i got a 9 in my gcse and got cocky). i consistently got u’s and it wasn’t until they told me to drop the course that i took things seriously at the end of year 12 and begged my teachers to let me stay. i was allowed to progress onto year 13, and then for my first mocks for year 13 in november i got a c in chem with 2 weeks of revision. but after those mocks, my mental health took a hit (i’ve always internally struggled with it but then it got worse at that point) and i would skip school a lot and stopped revising.it’s been months and only now do i feel like i can get up and revise with concentration.

i want 3 A’s..if i start consistent revision now, is it possible? if so, what methods should i take? for context, i’ve always been a student who works well under pressure and last minute but clearly in a levels that will never work.

It’s possible if u start revising consistently like 3 hrs of focused revision a day. I would avoid doing more as u would risk getting burnt out and I would definitely say quality>quantity. I would recommend sitting down every Sunday for half an hour and mapping/planning out your week. I would focus most on chem since it’s your weakest subject and you definitely sound capable of moving up grades in English and bio with targeted revision.Also since there are only 3 months left I would start focusing more on your weak areas rather than trying to cram content.Also as u said u work well under pressure remember u don't have to if u just focus on consistency and don’t leave revision to late . Constantly working under pressure always catches up to u and ultimately just leads to burnout. Good luckkk

also if u have free periods utilise them and finish your homework so you can move straight into revision at home or just take a break so you feel more relaxed and ready to revise.
