Don't know what to do :(?Hey..
I'm writing this during my break, but this is my problem;
I have an English exam and a D.T exam on tuesday, followed by a Physic exam on Wendsday & I'm really stressed out
I've been doing an average amount of revision but this is my GCSE'S and I'm so worried! I'm not going school tomorrow therefore I can get more revision done. However has anyone got a sleeping/working plane for the next 3-4 days.. When should I sleep? work? It's currently 8 PM..I was thinking of working till 2am then sleeping til 11am tomorrow and then...? Any help..want to get as much revision! Sorry for wasting your time, cheers!

Just work til 11pm and get up at 8am. No point working into the early hours as you become gradually less productiveLast edited by Axion; 27-05-2012 at 20:37. -

Re: Don't know what to do :(?I second that... you should rather do worj for 6 hours each day... with 10mins breaks in betweens ... than work for 11 hours straight... where you would obviously not learn as much.......(Original post by Axion)

Get up, don't start faffing about because you will continue for the rest of the day.
Do a solid hour, have a 15 minute break, and continue in that way. If you feel like you're just not taking any more in, then stop for a longer break.
Unfortunately you just have to be strict with yourself, there's no other way to do it. Try to mix up your revision tasks to keep it as interesting as possible, e.g. an hour of past papers, an hour of spider-diagraming, an hour of making a poster, an hour of text book questions, and so on. -

Re: Don't know what to do :(?It's so much better to get up early and then go to bed early regarding revision, IMO! You feel like you've got more of the day left. I like to have the night time to relax. P.S. Don't stress, GCSE's aren't as hard as you think (I understand as I too was stressed at the time but seriously...don't panic!) Good luck
