 Hi. Well done - you have started considering this very early. Some don't start thinking about it until after Christmas and most start in the Easter holidays. You are well ahead - so don't get stressed.
If you feel the problem is time - then you will make life easier for yourself if you get a REVSION PLANNER. You could get one off the internet, from a stationery shop or you can design your own on an Exel spreadsheet (more fun).
To design a daily/weekly revision planner on Exel spreadsheet, use 8 columns for the seven days of the week plus one column will be for the 'time' down the left hand side. The 'time' is best broken down into half hour rows, starting from say 07.00 thro to 22.00hrs. Now plan in all the 'fixed' things you have to do like school, travel, eating etc. Now plan around this your social life, leisure activities, homework/coursework time and your revision time. You can use colours and shading to show different activities. The great thing in designing your own is that you can modify it to suit your own needs. For example , after a few weeks you might find you are using your time better - so you can make changes - and see how much better you are getting at planning time.
For your subject revision - try this website:

or try the BBC Schools and Bitesize revision pages. Good luck with your coursework and exams.

 Its very important that you knuckle down and find the time to revise for these exams. Doing well in these exams will path the way for your future, whether you want to go to college then to university, or get a decent job. You don't say why you don't have any time, but all i can say is hit the books and study hard now and you will be glad you did later on in your life. If you are really stressing then take a break from it all and do something relaxing like go and feed the ducks, read a book, or light an insence stick and lay for 30 minutes concentrating on your breathing. really let your body relax and forget about everything that is troubling you. After you will feel more motivated and feel ready to resume your revising.
All the best & good luck with those exams

Some how in between school, sport, music and whatever else I do I do manage to keep up with homework/revising. I guess you just need to find a way that helps you revise quickly and effectively. I find that getting practice papers or practice questions for the exam always helps me! You could draw mindmaps or write out bullet points. Perhaps you need to write out facts over and over - (I have a couple of friends who need to revise this way!) Or perhaps you're just lucky and can remember stuff by just reading!What ever way you choose, don't stress out, eat well, get a healthy amount of sleep and best of luck! x
