I always find i can only concentrate on revising when the exams are so close im constantly crapping my pants- so if youre not at that stage yet- get caving. Obviously every time you go you'll get back and see your pile of work, crap your pants a bit more and then go caving again- even though you know you shouldn't. Eventually you get so scxared you sit down and try hard to revise, but instead just read guidebooks (after all, your notes are on the desk too so it counts, right?) and plan some mint trips to do after your exams. Finally your shittting it so much you even hide the guidebooks from yourself, realise the exams are only a week or two away, that theyre bloody important, that your an idiot for not revising earlier and, finally, revise like you never revised before.
Next you scrape a pass, get fall over drunk and spent a day asleep (wise to avoid caving or climbing for this day- it just dont work!).
Then go...
caving.
Happy days!

That's pretty much how things were for me, only I was more into climbing at that time.
Not sure if I entirely recommend it though - if you can get it together to put a bit of work in now, I think the rewards will be well worth the effort.
It's a sacrifice, but not a huge one; and the caves will still be there either way you choose to play it
