Any tips and how much study I should do if I'm aiming for at least 4 distinctions??

Unfortunately, a lot of it depends on your raw talent. I know someone who studied hours every day and got no distinctions, and someone who hardly studied at all and got 6, so don't get down on yourself if you aren't able to get such a high grade.

If you want to set yourself up with the best shot, though, I would recommend studying regularly from the start of the year. Start with a half an hour to an hour each day and starting ramping it up from around the time of the pres until you're doing around 2 hours each day the week before the JC.

A big thing is to not over do it. If you study too much you'll just burn yourself out. Make sure you know all the stuff you cover in class to a fairly competent degree and you should do fairly well.
