People need to understand that burning out doesn't happen to everyone. It does not happen to me because I enjoy revising and learning because I know it will mean I go into exams really confident. I'm not saying half term is for 24/7 revision, however a few hours a day to get ahead and make some notes will do no harm to me.

No one said it happens to everyone xD Nor did I imply any of the sort. Yes, you've got that right, I do the same, but he said he disagrees with 6 while it is equally important. So, my question is, why did you quote me on this?

I misunderstood your initial quote. I just find too many people use "burning out" as an excuse for not revising. But I understand what you mean :smile:

My main issue is just staying focused revising, I rarely burn out. That is some serious revision.
