six, just started revision today! I'm planning to do loads of past papers :smile:

I'm the same with the past papers, as I sent myself a target to complete 25 over the Easter break, I only started last Saturday as well. Good luck with your exams! :smile:

You machine! I'd probably stop after just a few hours of revision, still not certain if I'm going for STEP or not yet. :-/

2 Sociology A2
1 General Studies A2

At the moment I'm getting through a few hours a day of revision for my sociology exams, and currently rereading my novel for English, and creating mindmaps for links on poetry/themes.

The joy of A levels! :biggrin:

10 exams

depends on what subject,
with maths- past papers are key
with history- just learn the content, the papers are pointless to look at

6 altogether, although one is before the May/June half term, so I tend not to count that one.

3 Maths - S1, C3 (retake, so shouldn't be too hard) and C4
1 Biology - F215
2 Psychology - Psy 3 and Psy 4

For Psychology and Biology I've started making notes and aim to have completed this by mid April, when I'll start memorising and then past papers in about mid May.
Maths - lots and lots of practice questions and past papers; luckily there are 15 past papers available, so lots to do.

That is a good point, I'm already doing AEA so STEP on the same day is quite a concern as I don't think I'll be able to handle 6 straight hours of intense maths without burning out at some point, we shall see though as I'm always changing my mind so I might decide next week that I'll go through with it :tongue:

They do indeed as I don't really take much in from reading the information, at least this way I'm getting to the time constraints and the type of questions that could be asked. Also I have made a list really, it's just all in my head and I have a folder solely for Chemistry revision, it has about 50 past papers in and weighs a bloody tonne!! Can't wait to get through it all so I can never EVER do it again :tongue:

And thanks I'll probably need all the help I can get as I'm easily distracted and procrastinate a lot, like right now instead of doing the papers :tongue:

I have 8 exams (2 are AS retakes), and I'm preparing by sleeping until 10:30 when I aimed to get up at 8 to start revision, making notes, panicking that I've forgotten everything, panicking that I won't achieve ABB for university, giving up, and watching Game of Thrones.

But it's only the start of Easter, I'll probably get into a better routine in a few days. At least I hope so :smile:

I have 4, one being a resit that might be cancelled if this remark goes up. I started today, did 4 hours for 4 exams, will do the same all week, then have the weekend off.

What I tend to do is read all the revision guides first, this gives me background knowledge of when I come to write my notes, meaning that when I'm in the process of writing notes I would remember most of the page. My actual plan is to read every revision book I have this week, then start writing notes next Monday, hopefully have them finished when I go back to school, or shortly after. Then I will start on the papers up until the exams. :colondollar:

I don't set myself any kind of time goals I just set myself goals of where I should be at by the end of the week in order to complete my revision on time :smile:

then once I've met the goal I can just do questions and that kind of thing to check what I've learnt
