How many hours should i revise every day.
I have January modules in Biology, Maths, Business Studies and Psychology. I have been doing a little revision for the last month, but not enough. I am reasonably confident i could sit the exams today and get B/C grades. How many hours do you think i should revise every night?
I am aiming for straight A grades.
Sorry, i think i have posted this in the wrong place. Im still getting used to this place.Last edited by romeosutton; 21-12-2009 at 12:55. -

Re: How many hours should i revise every day.
my business teacher always says you should be doing 5 hours per week per subject...A2 btw
I think business is pure common sense..with maths- once you learn it you learn it...there isnt much to prepare for it (apart from doing past papers)...dnt know about biology or physcology.
good luck -

I don't believe in the whole hours thing, nobody can predict how long it takes you to get all the work done. I could say 5 hours but it might mean you won't cover everything.
Just take it topic by topic, that's how I do it, and that's why I don't have a revision timetable but my own self-made revision topic table. Do for example 3 Biology topics and 3 Business Study topics one day then next day do Maths past papers and 3 psychology topics and carry on in that pattern. Make sure that you finish everything, understand everything clearly and leave time to get past papers done before the exam. If you do the past papers with ease and hardly any thinking your revision was succesfull. To me it's what you get done, not how much time you spend getting something done.
Realistically I'm looking at 6 hours of work per day. -
Re: How many hours a night should i revise?
This is a vague idea of how I do it:-
5-6: History - Russian and the USSR.
6:30-7
Biology - nutrition.
8-9: Latin - verse and prose.
Then I try and do that section of a past paper. As you can see, their generally contrasting subjects, so that way it doesn't get too mixed up in your head. Take breaks. -
Re: How many hours should i revise every day.
The fact that you're asking that question just shows you're not putting enough effort already. Work until you are comfortable you can ace that test. If you don't get your target grade every time, you aren't working hard enough. If you do get your target grade, then you are doing ok.
Is there even a definitive answer to it?
