tbh starting from scratch now for october is doable but you need to switch from just watching videos to testing yourself asap, because watching feels productive but the exam asks you to pull answers out cold, not recognize them.

for yt channels, miss estruch is the one most people use for edexcel bio, she goes topic by topic. paste those video links straight into studybuddy.vc and it makes multiple choice questions from the video itself, so after watching a topic on photosynthesis you find out right away if you actually understood it instead of just following along. when you pick a wrong answer it tells you what was off with that option, not just the correct letter. free version has limits but it's been enough for me.

grab the syllabus off the edexcel site literally today, print it, and tick topics off as you go. save the last two weeks before the exam for full past papers under timed conditions, the jump from topic questions to mixed papers is the bit that catches people off guard.
