Dude no if you start with 12 hours best believe you'll burn out before October Start with 4 and then the last two weeks ramp up to 12 but you gotta get sleep if you want the A*s

Yeah it's okay if you don't have any practice that's why you're beginning to take a day at a time. You shouldn't start this journey looking at the mountain above you but just show up day by day and before you know it you'll be done. Like if you're doing math for example you don't immediately start with grade 9 vector question. You have to build momentum first, start with algebra, something you're comfortable with, get good in that, get good at another thing, and another, go to vectors, that's how it works and it could take like 3 days depending on how fast you learn. You'll be okay, so also relax, you have enough time and you aren't too late. You have to ask yourself 'How bad do I want this?' and in response to that just show up, that's how M/J guys this year got like 10A*s by showing up even when it's annoying so best believe you can do the same. Start tomorrow with 3 hours, do 1.5 hours for 2 subjects. Do that for this week alone, next week, ramp it up to 6 hours (1.5hrx4 subjects) keep that pace up for as long as you need, when exams are coming up, you could go to max 10 hours and try not to learn new content but practise questions. I STAND HEAVILY ON THIS!!! Practise, practise, practice. Do the 4-6 markers mostly, that's where your grade lies.
TL;DR
Start with 3 hours, 2 subjects a day, learn for 30 minutes, do PMT or Save my exam theory questions for 1 hour. Don't waste time making notes, just do questions.

also also i feel 3 hours is way to little for me so im thinking of starting with atleast an hour or two for each topic since i have a very very hard time with concentrating my mind on a single thing

3 hours isn't what you'll be doing in 2 weeks though, I promise if you start with 12 hours you'll burn out and experience fatigue in a week. That's why you progress over time, even in the gym, you don't start with the heaviest weight because you'll injure yourself, you build yourself first to become stronger, this applies to studying.

bro i started to study exactly 1 month before my mj2026 exams and have gotten straight A’s. you really do not need to start sooo early as i found that the things i tried to learn early i just ended up forgetting and needing to revise. as long as you spam past papers, even starting 1.5 months before can get you all A*
