How much revision should I do? I have 5 gcse exams coming up after half term...
Well the title says it all. How much revision should I do per day? I will probably increase this by 1 hour, because I need it. I am extremely worried so please give me a time soon that is not crazy long or crazy short.
Thanks -

Honestly, it's hard to give a specific time. It's more about the quality of the work you do - it takes different people different amounts of time to do the same amount of work. Just make a timetable and work out which specific topics or areas you're going to cover each day, making sure you cover everything well enough before the exam. Don't worry about time too much or the amount of hours you do, just try to cover the content you set yourself out for each day. Doing 5 hours of revision a day will be useless if you're not working efficiently, or if you're only covering a few topics.

Re: How much revision should I do? I have 5 gcse exams coming up after half term...You can't really put a mandatory time on revision. It's whatever works for you in all honesty. For me personally, i've been doing 8-9 hours a day with one day in a week where i only do 3-4 hours. However, if you think you'll be okay with just 4-5 hours then that's cool. Try this; revise a certain amount of a topic (say 1 chapter) and then test your self after and hour or an hour and a half, and if you can successfully recall everything you've revised without any mistakes, then you're all good and it's time to move onto the next subject. Try this with all of your subjects... I heard it really works(Original post by 08rbut)
