3 (2nd year degree), doesn't seem like many but I have about 24 topics in each exam I need to cover so probably is the same as other workloads.

I did AS Level and didn't revise lol. Still came out with ABC (cba was my attitude actually lol) though so must have done something right

My course is hectic. I had so many assignments this year it was really annoying but I think other courses are a lot less (humanities I believe have less contact time than sciences so there is more independent reading, well supposed to be ).

So all in all it depends on the degree. There's more independent reading and you can kind of put what you want rather than sticking to a set marking scheme. This degree is so much better for that as I hated having to write what the examiner wanted!
But there is a lot of work involved, the stereotypical student who drinks and goes out every night, well that's not me anyway. I don't have the time with all the uni work -.-

I actually have no idea how it's going. I do sciences, so I'm kind of leaving most if the rote learning till the last two days before the mocks (which start on Tuesday), cos I consider rote learning the easy but of revision. Thing is I'm not sure if that's a good idea cos it may not stick in my head properly, I'm just doing questions from text book, and feel I've actually "learned" anything yet but I figured practising questions takes ages so better do that first This is mainly chemistry It does take a long time tho, an im KNACKERED by the end of the day so no time to do Maths :'( dno how that's gna goo...

I just noticed that you have put your name down as 'Ranchordas Shamaldas Chanchad' ! I LOVE 3 Idiots what a great laugh that movie is <3

Anyway, once I understand the basics I use rote learning too. But you are right, sometimes it just slips out of your mind when you need it the most. I hate doing textbook questions... feel it is SO pointless! I find practising past paper questions quite useful if I can be bothered doing them in the first place! I'm not a very sciencey person myself but I've taken bio as a subject anyway.

Its fine if you don't do maths - sometimes its just necessary to rest for a while! I was like that 2 nights ago so just decided to treat myself to a movie before bed I'm sure you'll do fine in your mocks but good luck all the same!

haha I used to find text book questions really pointless before too, and only did past paper questions, but then, the actual paper really suprised me as it was completely different lol. I guess it tests your understanding more if you do questions from more sources. Although, I can see where you're coming from too, biology has more rote learning than any other subject. I Haaate rote learning.
