GCSE Revision Hours

I'm gonna do 5-6 hours per day I reckon:

wake up at 7, start work at 7:30, work 3 hours, 1 hour break, work 1 hour, 1 hour lunch break, work 2 hours and then play for the rest of the day

at least that's what I aim to do

Yeah, i thought i had it bad till i came on here:') and well you can change your subjects through the day; i find it easier to know what i need to revise in the day... & thanks, thats been helpful

Thanks guys, I haven't managed 4 hours of revision yet, the most I've revised in 1 day was 2hrs and 45 mins so I really need to stop procastinating.
I used to revise by copying my notes out and making revision cards and posters, but I get really bored now and have music playing whilst im revising, do you think it's more effective? I don't get very distracted but my friend told me she listens to music whilst revising and I thought she was crazy but it doesn't seem much of a distraction. I just hope my grades don't drop.

Yesterday I did 2, the previous days none. Today I've already done 3 and a half, aiming for around six in total. Tbh I'll probably average about 3 or 4 hours per day tops though - with whole days off to do other things. I got my target grades in my mocks with zero revision so to revise much more seems a little excessive. At the end of the day, do as much revision as you can do without losing focus/while having a life.

tbf, i am a right keeno when it comes to work, i have really high aspirations to do well, a lot of my friends are really clever, i have three friends all going to oxford next year, i have another friend going to cambridge uni so i guess i want to be like them. I am going to one of the top grammar schools next year too soo yeahh (;

Fair enough, but you can combine the two. I want to apply to Oxford too (but because I love my subject and think it has the most appealing course, not because of others - very few get in from my comp) and I'm predicted straight A*s - but I know what I need to do, and what is sensible. I'd rather spend extra time reading around my subject.
Also - I live in Gloucestershire (well, on the border)- are you off to Pates or Denmark Road by any chance? Or if not, where?
EDIT: how much revision are you doing then? And how many exams?

woah! i live in gloucestershire! it says in the top -.- ahaha... yeah i have had a conditional offer from pates! i currently go to balcarras school which is also very good, i also have a place there for sixth form.

which school do you go to? which sixth form are you going to? what subject do you want to take at uni?

I am doing a lot of revision to be fair. but i am glad i am doing it becuase if i dont do well, i know i would have put in my best efforts.

I have 16 exams D: the beginning ones (16th may) and the end ones (28th june) D:

Yeah I saw, lol, that's how I knew. Awesome I got an offer from Pates for the normal time (so year 7) again in year 9 (also from Denmark Road/Malvern St James) when I changed schools (I'll pm you with where I am as I'd rather keep it off the web). I very very nearly considered applying again for sixth form after open evening but eventually decided enough was enough, Pates is a great school - but my comp is perfectly lovely for me, and all my friends are there. Besides if I changed my mind for the 3rd time and decided not to accept an offer, they'd be furious My best friend has an offer and will probably accept it () and she is the most wonderful person ever, so look out for her! I've heard of Balcarras briefly, good school EDIT: looking at the website - it looks amazing! Way more professional than mine!
I want to study English at Uni What about you?
16? Lucky! I have 21 (and have already taken 11 last year) - 16th to the 26th.

cool! you should have come to pates (; it looks really good. I decided to go there, because, even though i am leaving all my friends, most of them are leaving anyway:L and my oldest friend is going to pates from denmark road i so know i wont be alone i will look out for your friend

Balcarras is the best non-selective school in gloucestershire (y) i only just got in

I want to study something like maths. although, recently i have become more interested in music!

Talking about english, i have english tutoring in a bit -.- i really struggle with english because i have more the logical mind.

how do you have 21?! a few of mine are retakes! :P

I'm sure you'll have a great time at Pates. I'm friends with several people our year and the year below through guides and they really love it. That sounds great Maths is my weakest subject, actually - and I have a very non musical mind! If there's anything I can do to help with English, please say - nice to find someone local. The closest I've found before in Birmingham
Um:
French x2, German x2, Latin x2, Maths x2, Add Sci x3, Trip Sci x3, English Lit x1, RE x3, History x1, Geography x1. Just realized my revision timetable has another RE one on from last year, it's 20
