You could always start catching up on what you missed now if you're worried?

I think catching up on last year's work is more important than stressing about how hard you'll have to work next year, because if you've missed a big part of some of the courses you may not get the time to even go over them properly in 6th year.

well I did no work in fifth year, and continued to do no work in sixth year and what I can tell you is that it's much more fun. but no, if you cop on you should be grand. it's easier than you think to pull yourself together. I didn't start doing anything until the march and did grand like.

I think the most important thing is not to stress.
I certainly didn't do a lot of work in 5th, either did most people I know.
Realistically, the most important work you put in is gonna be from christmas of 6th year onwards.
I didn't start studying til' the mocks, and even then it wasn't full on, and I got myself covered and felt I did well!
So just relax.
Do your homework, learn each thing as you go along, and make sure to clear up any confusions early on.
I never followed a timetable, it just didn't suit me.
But you could try one if you want.

I did alot of work in 5th year and then not much in 6th year so thats not good either! I would start now if your worried? some people say enjoy the summer and all but if your going to worry about it when you start sixth year i think that is more stress , just do an hour here and there , whenever you feel you are doing nothing , if you are worrying though that usually means you care so you will work fine in sixth year
