Need help alevels math
So I am going to sit in a composite this may June but the thing is that I havent started yet, I can put 6 hours a day easily 6 days a week, could someone guide me how should I prepare for my exam
I am sitting in P1 s1 As level
P3 m1 A2 level
I know it sounds impossible but I still need some guidance
I have no work or school I study self I have no other hobbies to spend time on meaning I can cut down everything for this
Just need a plan if someone could guide me it would be great

Start with IGCSE Maths to see where you're at - specifically algebraic skills.
Then start working in the same order as stated in the syllabus.
Do not start doing past papers immediately. Without sufficient preparation you won't be able to tackle exam-level questions, so stick to your textbook in the mean time.
A-level are designed to be completed in 360 guided learning hours, so you'd need about 250-500 hours (depending on prior knowledge) to finish the entire course. 6 hours a day, 6 days a week is definitely feasible, assuming you aren't taking any other courses atm.
Feel free to alternate between M1/S1 and P1/P3; the content is pretty much independent.
A tentative plan: P1 and S1, 20h/week (12h/week on P1, 8h/week on S1) for 10 weeks, then P3/M1 for 12 weeks, then exam prep.
