1. The more time you waste on here and making revision timetables the less time you spend revising.

2. We don't.

3. The night before the exam, like everybody else.

1) Dunno. But don't try and appease the guilt of not revising by spending hours looking for and making a timetable :P
2) No idea. I'm at university and still haven't mastered it haha. For me personally, making sure I get all the sleep I need, staying away from the internet and making a timetable have all helped. But at the end of the day, you have to WANT to do the revision. You've got to exert some self-control. It's not easy.
3)I'm not sure... I think I started after Easter... it depends on how well you currently know your syllabus and how much time you'd actually spend revising once you started.

Social pressure tends to be one hell of an incentive to revise. If you're expected to achieve certain grades the thought of not achieving them becomes terrifying. Ofcourse you'd have to put youself in this position first. At first the motivation usually comes from wanting to beat peers and beat everyones expectations of you.

1) a good idea my physics teacher suggested was using your normal school timetable as a revision timetable as that way you get an even spread of learning and it means you don't do too little revision on some subject or too much on others :smile:

and you can use the lessons you don't have an exam in for revision of your worst subjects! and you're more likely to stick to your normal timetable than an unrealistic one you make yourself where you give yourself 10 minute breaks every hour or something :p:

2) haha deactivate your fb? haha kinda rough though :P just eat your way through :p:

do it in small chunks and take regular breaks and try to pop down the shops or go swimming or whatever to really relax in your break :smile:

3)idk about you but im starting about 2 weeks before easter because i have loooads coursework at the moment :frown:

Good Luck!

well what u need to do is open it and write a few notes at the bottom of the page of stuff u need to do, try and get it sorted in ur head, then do it bit by bit and most importantly stop stressing it helps no one!!
