Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Step One: Break down what it is you need to do. If you absolutely hate a subject, you will avoid doing this, as it's the first step.
Step Two: Take what it is you need to do and break it into chunks. Small managable portions.
Step Three: Allocate some time to do it.
Step Four: Do it, one small allocation unit at a time. If the mood isn't right, do something else and come back to it. But when you come back, DO it.
Step Five: Reward yourself. Tell yourself, "I'll do a half hour of this, then go play Battlefront." Time limitations actually work better for me than problem limitations. You can work better knowing, "At the end of this twenty minutes, I can do SOMETHING ELSE."
Step Six: Acknowledge that you have done something. This is important, as you need to recognize how good you've done. This will build your confidence, so you don't make a mountain out of a molehill in the future. Anything's manageable if you break it down enough.

Hiya!
With Math I found it hard to study too!!
The best thing I found to do was buy cheap test exam books and go through one a week. You can even download tests from the internet. It's a really good way to revise as it's testing your memory and how much you actually know about each area, it also means you can mark yourself and see which areas you are weaker on and practise more on those.
With French the best way to revise is with a friend! They can help you with bits you don't know and vice-versa. It also means you can practise your verbal french which is impotant too.
As for a schedule, it depends what other subjects you have to fit in. The best thing to do though is to work out what you actually HAVE to do with your time and then from there work out what time you have left to study - don't forget though you need to balance it with a social life! All work and no play is NO FUN!!
Take Care
