I got 3 9s and 7 8s only cramming the night before each exam. Ask me anything.

I almost never managed to make myself revise until earliest the day before an exam either. I wonder if we have the same thing going on in our heads.

wow.

why did you choose to revise like this? are you a procrastinator in general or did you understand the content completely and then felt you only needed minimal revision

The most amazing exam experience I've ever had in my LIFE was doing ONLY 3 past papers in the morning of my GCSE I.T exam last year, which i'd never studied for, and got 100% UMS on the paper!!!
The grade boundaries were quite low as most people (including myself) didn't care much about the written exam because it was just 40% of the entire I.T GCSE.

But still, 100% UMS with NO REVISION is a bloody miracle

Ayyyy!

ICT is an odd subject, i got an A*, missed most of the lessons and didn’t revise at all 🤚🏻 wish it worked like that for my others 😂

That being said, I got the lowest A*. It was like 58/72 or something

kind of a mix? i’ve always been a MAJOR procrastinator but i’m naturally (very, not to brag it’s just kind of a fact yikes) intelligent so usually understood everything immediately in lessons and i guess that made it easier to cram bc i didn’t really need to understand, just remember? tbh i’ve never properly revised for anything, just relied on cramming at the last minute, so i’m rly good at cramming. i’m fully intending to revise for my a levels and break my bad habit though haha
i think it’s partially a subconcious thing - my brain knows that i can do well in exams with minimal revision so just kinda doesn’t bother to force myself to revise when i don’t really need to

congrats first of all that amazing but did how did you revise in those 1- 6 hours

haha thank you! okay so one of my big lifesavers was a website called seneca which goes over the content really well but u can do it in a minimal amount of time, i used this especially for sciences and got two 9s and was very close to a 9 in the other one so it does work!
the other thing was QUIZLET, finding pre made sets and going over key terminology. i also went over the specifications for each subject and looked at examiner’s notes on past papers to see what they were looking for.
on the walk to school for each exam i read through my revision guide several times to just keep going over the core things!
that’s kind of it? i did a lot of past papers in maths also because it’s quite hard to /revise/ maths.
english i didn’t revise for at all whoops i just reread sections of the book and tried to remember random quotes in the exam which i don’t recommend
hope that was helpful!

@thekidwhogames Allow make something like this
