    Study.
    How many hours does everyone study? I'm doing twelve hours a day, and wanted to know what everyone else is doing.

    I'm doing my GCSEs, so about two-three hours day/two day(s) before the exam? I don't know, there really isn't enough content in GCSEs to revise every day for hours...

    I did no revision, and I was overdosing in hospital when I took English and RS. I probably got extenuating circumstances, but for some reason they gave me 3 100% UMS A levels (i messed politics up a bit, only got 84% in the A2)

    Yeah I do show them off a bit too much... I REALLY regret doing arts subjects, since I really want to do Pharmacology and it's basically all i'm interested in at the moment.

    (+ they're waaay easier than the sciences you get given an A for just showing up )

    We're not on study leave until next week so at the moment it's:

    College days: usually have 3 lessons (1 hour each) a day where we revise and then I spend at least 1 free doing revision and then another ~3 hours at home.

    Weekends: About 6 - 8?

    Been having 1 day a week off home revision, but not going to anymore since exams are getting closer! When on study leave I'm planning on doing about 7 hours a day with one day (the day I'd usually have off) doing about 4 Day's before exams though will most likely be as much as possible (so all day? )

    His sarcasm detector obviously isn't working because he didn't detect the persons sarcasm.

    Um, i've turned my ping-pong table into a desk, and i sit there all day in the sun... so, maybe 3 hours if you take away time for making tea, stopping because it gets all warm & sunbathing in my chair for a bit & chatting to my sister... she's on study leave too... So don't worry, twelve is plenty. :L

    TWELVE?!

    I'm pleased with myself for doing two and a half today, on a sunny Saturday! went and hung out with my guins afterwards, read some of my Russian spy novel, revision done and dusted...

    I'm memorising lots for history, but that doesn't take up hours.
