Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?Erm, none really.
Just my homework at the moment and then be done with it.
EDIT: Thank God, just had to check through the thread that it wasn't just me. For a second there I was worried that I was a terrifically bad A-Level student bound to fail miserably.
There's no point in doing extra work unless you'll use it in the exam or you really enjoy doing it. I guess some of the Philosophy reading I do might count as 'extra work' but none of it really has anything to do with my course

Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?it's really not as much as it sounds. Even if you do one hour per subject every day you can easily get in 6 hours in a week.(Original post by strawberry_princess)
What?? I do my homework... so about 1??! How do you have time to do 6 hours?! -

Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?i did about 5 hours per subject last year for AS's and i got AAAA in bio, chem, sociology and psychology. By fitting in an extra hour per subject per week it adds up to quite a bit more by the end of the year.

Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?I do about 5 days a week after college excluding tuesdays for dog training and fridays for a damned break, which leads to about 1.5- 3 hours in those nights I do, so about minumum 7.5, maximum would be like 10-11 hours.

Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?I sort of guessed you did that much looking at your GCSE results(Original post by skatealexia)

Re: how many hours of independent study do you do for each A-level subject per week?Depends how well the teacher teaches it.
For Inorganic Chem, I don't do any extra work cause I understand it, but for Organic Chem I have NO IDEA what the guy goes on about so I'd have to do reading in my own time on the stuff :/

i hand my homework in sometimes incomplete, let alone independent study!
i'm going to fail
