    What's YOUR revision timetable?
    Hi, I'm currently an A2 student trying to study through the last month or so before all of my exams are over. With the exams for AS and A2 levels having started and many drawing very near, I was wondering what everyone's revision timetable looks like and how you prefer to revise in the last few weeks leading up to the exams.

    It'd be nice to know when everyone started their revision and how well it's going, but that's just extra!

    My time table goes along the lines of:





    Yea, so its a pretty good plan. Around a month before I'd want to be doing past papers quite alot though, combined with knowing notes inside out, depending on the subject

    Mine for a levels was about two days before going through essay plans, worked well enough for me.

    For uni, I'm starting now, about 3-4 hours a day until my exams next week.

    Some people need to revise more than others I guess, that's what it comes down to anyway.

    Started about a month or so ago with light revision and making revision packs for each of my units.

    I tend to do about 4-5 hours extra per day now, to get some a past paper and Spanish essay in per day, re-reading books, grammar work, revising notes and making cue cards. Once I've got the knowledge down in a week or two, I'll just focus on exam technique and mark schemes.

    I do an hour or two hours most days. Half an hour of history on paper ends up being twenty minutes, lots of staring out of the window....
    I notice the results though, so it's working for me. Plus we're pretty lucky in that you can cram at the end for A level exams rather than learning the stuff properly and reading around the subject.

    Thankyou so much for making me feel so much better! I was expecting to go on this thread and feel like ****.

    I've never been able to master the actual putting into action the 'revision timetable'. One month before exams I make one, makes me feel prepared and organised and is far easier than actually revising. Then 3 days before my first exam I find it in my room, can't bare to look at the paper that reminds me of how much of a lazy idiot I am and then begin panicked anxious self-hating revising.
