This is the best idea when it comes to English revision! That's what I did and managed to do well at GCSE. In fact, the same works for A level. For more scientific subjects, it's more to do with making sure you understand concepts and practising questions.
I think how you revise/amounts you do and when you do it really depends on the type of learner and person that you are. Some people manage to pick up loads in lessons, others don't. Some revise ages before and can retain it, whilst others forget it and need to cram (like me). Don't set yourself unattainable targets... be realistic and just try to do as much as you can. And take loads of breaks, even when exams are fast approaching.
I really should've listened to all this advice myself.
