Looks good to me! I didn't find a timetable particularly useful because I was finding some subjects easier than others to work on and revise for, so do make sure to adjust it if you feel you need more time on other subjects later on :smile:

, why are you leaving your Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths late at night, and for only half an hour? Bad idea? Should shift it up slightly in the earlier programme. And mix it around, to make it more interesting?

Could you not bring everything forward by starting revising a bit earlier in the day so your not still revising 22:30, I've always been told to stop revising around 9-9:30 =/ Also maybe make it so each "session" is 45minutes and then a 15min break, obviously longer for lunch and dinner.

Finally you only have two hours for maths, is this for any particular reason? Same with the sciences. Just make sure you're revising subjects for a sufficient amount of time. Other than that it looks pretty good now the challenge is to stick to it :P

EDIT: Just seen the above post if you have no science exams till January just wipe that out of your timetable so your not revising so late & just focus on your summer exams at the moment. Replace the maths with Stats and I really recommend you start looking at stats now you don't want to be left having not covered everything or having no time to revise it.

If you don't have any exams for them this time round, then leave it out of the equation, so you can focus on your priorities for exams that you do have in June? Just a suggestion.

I don't think the timings are very good, 1.5hrs for lunch/dinner, really? And I don't think working til that late in the morning will achieve anything. I know they say that you remember things best before you sleep but you'll be exhausted after working for 14.5hrs light you're planning on doing and it won't go in.

I think you just need 9am-12pm with one 15min break, 1pm-6pm, with two 15 mins break and then 7-9pm and be done with it.

Looks good, you're clearly very well organised and have thought about this to some depth.

It looks too tight to me, with short breaks and no relaxation time built in. I get shoulder pain and feel like a hunchback if I'm desk based for too long and I find exercise invigorating so I always build in an hour a day to my timetable for something active - going for a bike ride or swimming or whatever.

Take a few hours off on one day a week. Say, Sunday afternoon. You'll love having a bit of freedom, seriously

I know this is a bit odd, but what I did, was list like 5 topics a day which I wanted to understand by the end of that day. I would do like a day of Maths, with 5 different topics, then do questions at the end, and if I got it, I would tick it off, and go back to it later (like the week after), and if I didn't, then I would do it again on my next "maths day"... it worked... kinda.

And this is a useful attention span graph... realise how little attention you will actually pay if you're working that long:

ok im gonna switch stuff around and then post another pic of it :smile:

sounds good :top:

looks far in excess of what is necessary to achieve top grades at gcse to me. i suppose that can only be good, but you may end up destroying your soul in the process. you need a gear available to step up into for a levels really.

also its easier to just make a checklist rather than binding ones self to a schedule :yep:

e.g. you may be near the end of a topic at a 45 minute deadline, and have lost track of where you were next time you pick that subject up, making your learning disjointed.

Exactly.

Also, like other people have suggested, don't try cramming in little chunks of revision of each subject in 1 day. It won't do you any good.. Spread it out.. Also focus on two or three subjects a day, and rotate with another set of subjects next day for the change.

does this timetable look reasonable?
