Most definitely. I thought i would revise like crazy but in this exam period I'm not working much

Myself included, I intended to revise about 5 hours each day as my exams start next week, yet I find myself doing 2-3 hours if I'm lucky

I thought I would revise loads but I think because I have been working quite hard leading up to them I just can't do much :s I have 4 exams in the next 2 weeks but I have 3 day gaps in between them. I haven't revised at all. But please tell me thats okay ?

How any one can need (or cope with!) to revise for 14 hours a day is beyond me.

Me too. I'd become depressed.

I try to but I just doesn't happen. I've worked hard enough in the last 3 exam seasons to be able to breathe a little is time

You don't need to revise that much !

I know I probably don't, but its just how I work. :L I panic a bit if I don't know that I've revised as much as I can - especially as I already have had 4 exams, and still have another 6 to go! :/

A2 Economics,French and Politics

About 5 hours a day and about 2 hours max per session e.g. if I'm doing a past paper


Revising hard for Economics so I can get my AAB for my firm choice Sussex to study Economics BSC

Wow fair enough, I didn't realise you have 10 exams, I assume some are AS?

That should be fine, you're in a similar position to me (minus the fact I haven't been working too hard leading up to my exams). Many people work better (or at least harder!) under pressure anyway

[chinaberry]

I do from 9 to 11ish and then from 3 to 4pm. I like my long lunch hours....


I'm just relaxed, thinking I don't have to go back to school ever again! apart from uni, see what that's like...

Yeah, well I had 3 AS exams, all maths for my AS Further Maths, and Core 1 retake, the rest are A2s

about 10-20 min of revision and have plenty of breaks. if you revise like for an hour, you'd only remember about 10-25% of the work you revised

I don't think you can estimate this. Sometimes if I'm studying something I find really interesting I'll remember 75% of it regardless of how long (to a limit), other times when I'm not intrigued the slightest I'll remember maybe 10% of it. Time isn't as such a limiting factor for everyone.

[politics_student]

I begin at around 10am and end at around 9pm. I have breaks every hour and a 2 hour break at around dinner time. I just hope I am not over working myself as this affects my performance in the exam.

Another question regarding revision, sorry for spamming! How do you focus yourself for a revision session? What room do you revise in, how do you eliminate distractions etc?
I use my laptop almost as a textbook by looks at revision sites etc, which is a problem sometimes as i find myself sometimes starting to type "facebo...."

Revising for economics i use Youtube, as there is a great teacher called Phil Holden. So i watch him and take notes as if i was in class.

Don't have an economics text book annoyingly
