Just go sleep. You won't be able to remember much information if you revise now.

Revise.

Sleep then revise. Unless you're like me and are gonna sleep 16 hours, staying up late to revise doesn't help yourself too much unless it's just light stuff. If you start to strain yourself you'll be less likely to absorb what you're revising.

I'd recommend getting some sleep first and then continuing revision in the morning (you can concentrate better when you aren't tired) :smile:

You should honestly go to sleep.
You'll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to start your revision again.
Anything you do at this time of the night won't sink in and you'll be frantically going over it all tomorrow again which will only stress you out, especially if you're tired from lack of sleep.
Just wake up at a reasonable time that suits you, not too late but obviously you don't need to be up at 6 in the morning. Good luck with your exams :smile:

Sleep if you are tired. Set an alarm for whenever you feel comfortable. Even on exam days no matter how much of the spec I haven't touched I always go to sleep at least at 10:45 then set an alarm for 4am.

Depends. If your school starts at 8:40 like mine, then get up at 8:40. It'll feel more natural. Revise for half an hour, then take a short break, that's the usual thing you'll be told. Personally I find it easier to wake up at 10-11ish and then revise for an hour or so on end, watch a movie, then carry on revising.

Pick a time you genuinly feel you'll get up at and wont sleep in, set your alarm for a few hours earlier so that it'll wake you up and you can go back to sleep. then the second alarm will really rattle you up. I find it to work like that, but i've got a messed up sleep schedule.

Overall, i'd say just check the time, add 9 hours, then go to bed.

Ya xD

I did 2 AQA Phys papers today, an Eduqas one, and the equivalent of 3/4 of a the average Bio paper. Considering it's the holidays i'm proud C:

Quick Edit If your sixth form is open over the holidays you could revise there in the library or wherever :P, that might help concentration

SLEEP. Stay in routine for exams. Get 8 hours sleep, start working from 8 till 8 each day (if A level) (If GCSE well do the little bit you might need to do)
