Do I Still Have a Enough Time For Revision?

I have three A - Level exams in January, I've started revision but wouldn't say proper revision. Do I still have enough time to revise PROPERLY and get good grades?

Yes...

You can do revision in a week if you're efficient.
I'd hope so. I haven't started properly yet and I have four exams.
I know, I'm an idiot :P

Thanks, just because I've really been worrying about Physics, I'm okay on Maths and Economics I guess (Can get a B but want an A in both of them).

It depends on how you take things in really, if you feel you need to start now then do so. Some people only need to revise like a week before an exam and they come out with A's.. :smile:
it totally depends on you....

if you are a student who needs to revise everything 100 times before entering that exam hall...then NO you are officially ******!!If you have really good memory and understanding...then it wont take you more than two weeks to rivise for your exams. Good luck

Think again.

Even at Oxbridge revision of two weeks is sufficient when done in a structured manner - as a tip, university work is more difficult that A level.

True, but this requires epic skill. I have no idea how to revise truely efficiently. It is like an art, which is why I started revision months ago.

Really? I find it hard to believe that you can revise a whole academic years worth of knowledge in 2 weeks, that would have otherwise..... taken many months to learn in the first place.

Erh... Pretty sure you can.

Just remember, everything you revise you have already learnt (or should have). All you're doing is making sure of a few details you didn't quite understand when you were learning it.

I have 6 and I haven't started. That's right, I'm ****ing badass.
Yes, you do, if you get off here and start revising NOW. Best to do it this week then you can have a bit of time off for Christmas!

Well no...as the whole concept of revision is to re-cap the work you've already done. You should have already learnt the majority of the topics and all that's needed is to reinforce what you've learnt and to get those definitions word perfect.
