30mins the day of my maths exam and nothing else, motivation was lacking

five hours for GCSE? no thanks.

I did bits of revision, like one past paper every so often, max about 90 minutes a day lol.

next to nothing nervous now

[dinrah04]

A couple of hours, 2-3 days before the exam (give or take a few), I'm quite nervous about my results but I believe if I fail, it's down to how I put down my answers not my level of revision.

[HalleStar]

i don't think i ever revised during GCSE's i literally flipped through the book before the exam and just remembered what i learnt and did well

[ocelot92]

30 mins a day 1 week before exam leave, then an hour before each exam at school. hoping to get a few A*s - possible?

allot of people have been talking about 10 hour day and the best i did was about 5 . I have the lowest attention span

just curious as to how much everyone else did

5 is great. Why you'd do 10 is a mystery to me. I sort of did 5 a day in the last month or so, but loads of it was procrastination, hence my results not being what they could have been :\

If you do 5 solid hours a day (and use the time wisely - revision technique is what lets most people down - I'd say that 2 hours of my revision methods outdo 3-4 hours of many others) then you're spot on to do very very well.

For gcse level, in my opinion u should be doing between 1 and 1/2 hours revision on week ends per each subject.

People doing 5, 10 hours revision in a day are jus stupid.

My revision for my GCSEs started in April in the easter holidays only for a few subjects though. After the Easter Hols I did an 1 hour rev after school, then jus relaxed.

[GreenLantern1]

Not enough :\

[Problematique]

Not enough, and now I feel sick to the stomach about results day. "Only have yourself to blame...etc."

[overskrill]

Did as many Maths past papers as I could. Morning of English Lit, RE and ICT exam. Nothing else. Not really looking forward to results day.

Same. At the time I even said to myself, you'll end up leaving everything to the last minute and regretting it, which I already do. Plus I did 0 revision for English, and it was my worst subject. Not a great idea.

I did literally 2-3 hours a night before the exam, then maybe 1 hour every other day.

[Laurenx123x]

I did on average about 3 past papers for each exam... although I did double textiles, which resulted in 3 less exams than I normally would have , as I got 3 B's from coursework.

[Above.The.Empyrean]

I didn't do any past papers...

[Arva]

Nothing until study leave, then frantic cramming most of the day. Hoping I've pulled it off.
