The 50 hour study week trial - TRY IT- I'LL JOIN YOU!

Scroll to see replies

I'm in. I'm awful for procrastinating so I highly doubt I'll manage the whole 50 hours but I'll try. I have planned 6h15 per day for Mon-Fri and 18h45 for Saturday as I still have school this week and next week. From half term I should be able to achieve 50 actual hours of revision a week :/

I'm really amazed how people are making it to 50 hours. I'm aiming for 30 and that's proving to be difficult.

whats that 7 hours a day? 2.5 hours roughly per subject for 3 A levels? Sounds doable. I did about 5 hours each day when I was revising.

seriously that's way too much. I struggled for 20 hours a week for the last month before exams with 4 and a have a levels. 5 if you count general studies. No wonder i failed

do people actually read 30 - 50hours a week?!

The most I can make is like 4 hours a day, but then I'm so dead/knackered the next day that day's revision is affected.

i meant 2 hours a week.
if you're too tired, try 2 hours a day then bump it up. and have a good nights sleep and (if you can wake up) little naps during the day

I sleep forever. I do have naps in the day, but trying to reduce that as my sleeping pattern is ****ed. I sleep about 10-11 hours at nights and then regularly have ~2 hours naps in afternoon.

Not got long left til exams are over though, keep plodding on.

then my advice is caffeine! keep a kettle in your room if you have to.

I've failed for these past two weeks :frown:

I'm definitely determined to start this week, seeing as my first exam is this Friday. Eeek! I hate being so unmotivated, it's not like my usual self :frown:

I'm gonna do 40 hours because I'm doing my GCSE's!

I have an idea for an incentive (reward)! When someone accomplishes a goal, we send them a PM saying congrats with a link to one of their favorite things, like a video of their fave rock band or a link to a site with cookie vouchers! Sounds bizzare but I think it could work if we tried. All you have to is post your interests. Okay so my interests: Trey Songz, ballet, violin, classical music, Jamaica...

Not necessarily, if there's a reason behind needing that much sleep, caffeine is not going to help and might make it worse.

I'm nearing about 50 hours per week. Without work etc, I can do about 6-7 hours per day. I time myself though, I'll have a 30 minute countdown, then after the times up I'll see if I'm up to another 30 minutes, if not I'll take a small break then just repeat the process. Hence although I'm at my desk for at least 12 hours per day now, I split my time accordingly. Need to sleep more though, I'm only getting about 6 hours on average per night.
