I assume you probably have around 5 hours of lessons on a normal school day, so I would suggest around 5 hours of a revision as a starting point. That's what I plan to do; in my opinion I feel anything more is just unproductive!

ah okay. you said 5 hours would be a starting point, how long do you think would be good for when the exams are about 2 weeks away or closer?

How much revision did you do for GCSEs?
When the exams got gradually closer, I personally felt it wasn't helping if I did any more than 5 hours. I would get tired and not take in any of the revision past a certain time.
Remember that revision is about quality, not quantity.
Depends how well you work. If you start feeling tired and things don't seem to stick then it's either time to take a break or stop for the day. Personally I find that 7 hours is enough for me although I could go longer. It's about getting the right balance which will be different for everyone.

I revised for day before each of my exams for my GCSE's lol and got 4A*, 6 A's and 2 B's. Yeh I think I'll do about 5 hours but yeh obviously quantity over quality does matter, so should I do about 45 minutes and then take a 15 minute break?

I usually go for 3h then have the rest of the day as a break.

Whatever seems to work for you! I personally prefer doing an hour then having a 15 minute break. If that doesn't work, try something different. You've got plenty of days to try out different methods, just don't spend too long finding your most efficient one.
Good luck with the revision and let us know how it works out!
