Is revising 2 days before an exam ok?

you can sooooooo do this with GCSEs, make sure you do it well though- i did it with geography and it paid off well!

I've errr.. somehow managed to leave my revision until now and am currently revising for exams a few days before i actually have them (GCSEs). is this usually successful? anyone experienced doing this and achieving good grades (I'm looking to achieve the best grades i can)

Oh my days I thought I was the only one. Like High5 buddy, for my exams so far I've been doing 2, even the whole night before the exam. Not the greatest of ideas and you'll feel so much more stressed (and sleepy!) but ya know. I'm sure as hell not gonna be doing this for my A levels tho XD

Haha hi five mate im glad this aint a personal problem ...not to suggest i want ppl to be in the same position as i am. Altho i dobt stay up late at night to revise (up to 11.40-12 max) but if its required i wake up early morning

I was way more prepared for mocks lol. And now i can hardly revise in the day coz im fasting (coz its Ramadan) so im gonna have to do late night or EARLYYYY morninf revison where ill be energised coz ive eaten

And HAHAHA doing this for a levels NO SIR ive alrdy decided im going to revise months in advance and have a strict study schedule so that i revise everything in time and have time to go over t againa dn then do past papers .. even tho we'll have hardly any

Well thats what i hope to do

Some scientists believe that revising in advance may be a good idea if you're regularly reciting the information as it will stick in your head. However, it is correct that doing the revision on the exam day may not be even worthwhile as some people are panicky and they stress as they realise how little they actually know.

Hope this helps,

Oml same. I've told myself after the first day of sixth form, im gona sit and start revising
knowing me this probably won't happen

NO! According to researchers "Sacrificing sleep to study 'will make you much worse at exams and homework" so don't do it.

A lead science teacher showed us a graph of memory of revision and it shows its really not worth it to try remembering stuff over a weeks period, to all those people who started their 'gcse' revision way too early.

this makes me feel less guilty because i have a few friends who've been revising weeks ahead are struggling and h=are having to re-revise everything a few days before ...a bit like me o.o

ahahah...lol ik i like to delude myself. ill probably keep at it for the first 2 weeks then unconsciously forget my priorities... altho i do hope to not leave revision 2 days before heh

Same. First couple weeks I'd be such a brainy but thats gonna fall apart when I get distracted with tv shows and movies on netflix uno. And student room.
Oh my God. I'd never be able to get a grade above X for a levels with 2 days worth of revision loool. How did your language exam go today?
