What should I be doing in Year 11 in march?

Since it's currently coming up to March, should i spend all my time revising because i feel a bit behind. I was thinking about doing a super curricular competition, but I'm worried it will take too much time out of revision as it's a presentation you have to create around a chosen topic. Is doing it now a good idea or should i leave it till next year in year 12?
Also if any previous or current year 11s can give me some guidance on what I should be doing at this time in the year and how many hours i should be aiming to revise after schools and on weekends that would be very helpful thank u 🙏

You should leave it until next year. You really should be focusing on revision, though don't spend all of your time revising - you need to make sure you relax and take time for yourself.

You should create a revision timetable if you haven't already and start doing some practise papers, as well as flashcards or other active recall techniques. It is hard to give a specific number because it is dependent on you as a person. A couple of hours after school is probably the maximum, and then 8 hours at the weekend as an absolute maximum, but probably a bit less.
