No, the night before every exam will suffice.

No, he has another year before he even starts learning the content.

Far, far, far, far, far etc. too early.

That's far too early! He probably hasn't even started covering the GCSE content yet so it wouldn't be worth while.

Absolutely. 5 hours a night, MINIMUM.

It's a bit on the early side. Things change with them, so he could end up learning all of this content for the course content to change. I started learning the content year 9 for triple science, maths, and a couple of other subjects. The rest weren't even started until year 10. That being said, if he's eager to start learning ahead then that's great and should be encouraged. If he can handle the extra workload, then there shouldn't be an issue. He might be able to get his teachers to support him by marking the odd piece of work, and he can study and revise online. He needs to be determined though, because that's a lot of years of GCSE revision if he starts in year 8 and it'll get incredibly repetitive and annoying to do

How do you start revising a syllabus you don't know yet? :s-smilie:

No of course not. Year 8 is the year to have fun (you need to make the most of the less stressful years of school). If he starts revising in Year 8 then he will probably look back on it and regret that he didn't mess around have fun like kids should at that age.
