Grade 9 Student

honestly not that much personally. mainly just cramming. i have no idea exactly how many hours i did, but i defo worked like kinda non stop in the two weeks leading up to exams, and at the sart of the exam period

What did you end up getting? I haven't started till now, but I'm gonna sweat my ass off. I really want all 9s.

i got 11 nines. how did u do in mocks? If you've been doing well in class for the last 2 years you don't have to do a ton of revision tbh

I got all 9s as well and I will say effective revision is not about how many hours you spend on a subject. There were some I spent only two hours revising the night before, and I still got a 9. There were others I spent a week revising to get that 9.

You need to identify your weak topics in a subject and allocate more revision time to those topics. For the topics you already understand well, revise them lightly. Also, take breaks while revising. Concentration dwindles with time so a lot of people need a reset every half hour by taking a break for a few minutes. It's all about revising effectively.

Yeah, that's true. I was more so asking the hours to generally understand what people did. And yes I'll have to take breaks, I think they're just as important as the studying itself sometimes. What subjects did you do?

The hours varied for me. It just depended on how I felt that day. The goal was at least 2 hours of revision 6 days a week. There were days I did more than that, sometimes up to 8 hours if I felt like it. But the second I got tired or didn't feel like revising, I stopped for the day.

For the subjects, we had very rigid policies so you could only do 9. Of the 9 choices, English, Catering Craft (an elective subject), and Civic Education were compulsory. Then I chose Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer, and Geography.

How did you revise for geography, and when did you start revising?

How many hours does a Grade 9 student revise per subject? Like, on average, ahead of the real thing.
