I've been doing light revision since late Janauary, but only been going hard, like 4-6 hours a day, since about two weeks ago.

I did some in the Winter holidays but at the moment have been too bogged down with coursework and ISAs to be doing much at all :s-smilie:

You haven't messed up, it's not yet too late, but you do need to get started very soon and start putting in the time if you're looking for good marks. Good grades at GCSE does absolutely nothing to get you good grades now, only revision will do that. You won't know how much work there is to do until you start, so you need to start early (i.e. now).

As for writing your PS, I know it takes time to get right, but it can't be taking all day every day? Presumably you're still at school as almost everybody is at the moment, but surely there's some time left, even if when on the train/in the car/in 10 blocks of spare time. Cut down on little blocks of wasted time and you'll gain a lot in total. Start doing little chunks of revision now and you'll start getting the knots out of the as-of-yet unlearned material.

I've started properly this week, actually using my frees to go to the library and work :colondollar:

Probably averaging about 3 hours a day at the moment, in half term that'll go up to 6-8, then back down to 4-6 after the holidays. I need a life too, so they'll be the odd day off when things get too manic.

Revision is the only thing that really stops me stressing about exams...so here goes!

Started a small amount of revision so far. F211 resit, Core 3/4, Mechanics 1/2 are currently my priority. :smile:

Will start up properly during and after Easter.
Hopefully more spread out but slower revision will leave me less stressed towards the exams by giving me more time for past papers and fixing any weaknesses.

I usually have 3/4 exams, i havent had any more because i have always had Jan modules! So i usually do say an hour of biology and an hour of sociology one day, then an hour of psychology and an hour of biology again, and i just switch it around each day so im doing around the same of each one! :smile:

i find if you start revising 2 or 3 months before you have plenty of time after writing up notes do go through past papers and essays :smile:

I didn't revise at all last year (for AS) and really regret it/am paying for it now!

I've been revising since beginning on feb, we had 2 full sets of mocks for all subjects then so revised for those. I have 10 exams in summer (studying biology chemistry and maths) including retakes, I've properly revised 5 of them including resits and now doing the others, normally 3-5 hours of work a day :smile:

Are you retaking in maths? If so how are you balancing it on top of a2? I'm retaking c2 and d1.
