Default I have no idea how to plan for this...

Hi all, I'd really appreciate any advice anyone might have about my situation...

I've been too lazy during my degree, I've not done enough work and I'm behind, with my final exams at the end of May. I really want to do well, or as well as I can under the circumstances but i don't know how.

I have 8 exams to revise for (that works out to 10 or so days each, if that).
I feel like I don't have a clue what is going on in these subjects, I have notes but they're not amazingly well organised or neat so may not be totally complete, though I have books and the library too.

If I go to the lectures (which are still ongoing) to get the current notes I don't know what the lecturer is talking about and feel that I am wasting time, but then again I feel that I should go as otherwise I might miss something important for my notes. But is my time better spent revising what has been covered already?

To make things worse, I also have a 60 page report to write, due a few weeks before the exams. And a presentation to prepare based on this report, due at the same time.

With such a massive task facing me, and given that I am so far behind that I'd probably have to do revision of previous years work to even begin understanding the work for these exams, I don't know where to begin.

I guess I know what the only real solution is...

...Hard work.

And now I will put the work in.

But it may be too late.

So any advice?

If you were faced with this task how would you approach it? How would you manage your time and attempt to learn and accomplish all of these things?

Thanks in advance for any replies, any suggestions are appreciated.
