Ok so this is my official plan to follow - I have my final exams in 6-10 weeks, 3 of 4 in 6 weeks. Already done a lot but now I'll BE getting serious. The daily routine after school - sports, 30 minutes. --- 1.5h revision, 15 min break, 1h handouts, past papers. After dinner - documentary relating to subject to extend understanding. After this curriculum reading for relaxation. What do you think? And be warned, this will be updated :wink:

Edit - repeat revision/papers procedures as often as possible until dinner

Great, glad to hear it!
Keep up the hard work.
But please bear in mind that you must be proactive when studying, for me and everyone I know, at least, simply reading over notes isn't enough.
I'm glad that you mentioned you're making notes which is great.
Past papers a day before the exam is very late.
Please give yourself at least a few weeks before the exam that way you can identify your weaknesses and still have time to correct them before going back and re trying past papers.

Thanks for the tips, to be honest you're right, a day before is far too late, i might print out some past papers tomorrow now you mention it.

Ok sorry if this annoys you but I'm set on it. Did everything except curriculum reading today and did biology revision instead of exercises for 3 hrs! So proud. Tomorrow I'll start learning biology at 9:00 am, till 13:30 and 17:00 - 20:00, then curriculum reading till midnight. Should be fine. I want to have that topic summarized by tomorrow evening so I can do old papers for Wednesday.

Did about 6 hours yesterday, but being given no work to do and having only 1 exam to prepare for isn't hugely motivating

Good luck! So, I'm going to immerse myself in Brave New World and Moon Palace. I don't really want to do German now. Tomorrow, I'll do 2 model biology exams and 1 past paper!

I have been terrible, haven't revised much other than doing 6 hours of physics and 4 hours of biology. Now because of this today I plan on going through work and hopefully do around 5/6 hours of Biology revision as its m closest exam (Friday)

Did 4.5 hours of bio, no school tomorrow so I'll type the summary into word now. timing is terrible. Almost know it by heart, and exercises are not too difficult for evolution. My genetics revision from Christmas holidays starts to pay off :smile:

so, this will leave me with 6 hrs on a working day which is decent. Also did 2 papers, tomorrow I'll do the mock exam and two former exams and what I can find on the internet

I've done one character profile for English Lit and a Point Ev Explain grid to go with it tonight.

Over this week I need to;
- Read About A Boy
- Finish character profiles for English Lit
- Checklist of topics to revise for all sciences (and maths if I have time..)
