I'm in the same position as you, although good fucking luck if you're seriously only starting with a week left. Been doing about 4 hours a day - it's been a struggle, to say the least.
Doing English Lit, History, and Politics. Applied to do English Lit at Glasgow or Goldsmiths (London).
The best thing, I've found, is to write up a list of revision tasks you want to get done, point a few out to get done each day, and then cross them off as you go. It beats the stagnating, "I'm not fucking doing anything!!!!" feeling that I always get from revising.
Replace lit with lit & lang and we're doing the exact same subjects. Are you doing International Relations in history?
I started revising (what I consider) intensely on Sunday, but I have been doing some revision for the last couple of weeks. Mostly I was learning key terms in English/Politics and dates in History.
Your revision technique is similar to mine too. I'll try and write down precise notes on a subject, then every 20-so minutes I'll test myself to make sure it's all gone in.

According to the denizens of places such as 'The Student Room', the average amount of hours is between 6-7.
If you believe everything on that forum everyone gets 5 A*s and they are all going to Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial.
Ignore them.
Yeah the place does seem to be rampant with liars, I'm just surprised by the amount. Literally every single person saying they're doing 8+ hours a day. Some even saying they do 11 hours. I guess it's because of the reasons Melon Hunter outlined, but I would still expect there to be occasional people being realistic.
