5 weeks to revise... Enough?

Can't really comment on what grades you'll get, as I don't know your abilities. But 5 weeks is surprisingly long. Should be plenty, as long as you already know everything you did in lesson, and it's just a case of getting it stuck in your head and remembering it.

I do I have been getting As in US History and Politics (top of my year for politics), Bs in Chinese history, and Cs in English Lit (). But overall it's ok. Aiming for ABB.

I have altered my timetable, see the OP for new version.

I started today, but planned too much and ended up spending too long on US history. So I have planned out 6 hours (2hrs for each of my three subjects) for tomorrow. Each day I will alternate topic ... so one day's history revision will focus on US, the next China, and so on. The same for Politics, one day topic 1 Unit 1, next day topic 3 unit 2 and so on.

Thanks Just worried I may fail because i've left it late

I am doing Politics AS?

How are you finding it. Edexcel.

How many topics are you learning?

yh thats easily done just make sure u revise lol

I start tomorrow! So it IS enough time?

yes but dont start tomorrow start night mate

Doubt it'll make much difference! I have done four hours of History and politics revision today.

I am doing Pressure groups, Democracy and elects for unit 1

No idea what i am gonna do for unit 2

Just done 3 hours revision (typing up notes, which I find the most effective).

Here's my plan for tomorrow, and it is similar each day, just change of topic.

Is 5 weeks of revisions structured like this on non-school days good enough to get ABB?

Thanks

you should re structure your times, your apparently having a break and starting a new topic at the same time. do something like 11:00 to 11:45 then a 15 min break. after this start your next topic and continue like this throughout the day. other than that aslong as you really stick to your plan you should be fine but make sure you understand everything, test yourself with past papers then identify areas you struggled with.. blah blah you should know i guess. good luck!

I'm taking politics and find it's the one I have to revise for the most out of my other options. I too, have a timetable... but I've found that I'm rarely able to stick to the time constraints (2 hours per subject, 3 subjects a day), once leading to me revising for 14 hours (which is excessive). So perhaps its best if you spend as long as you need to, in order to meet your 'objectives' for each day, and if you find you're spending too much time on an objective, perhaps split it over two days.

Anyway, I only started to properly revise Unit 1 Politics (Edexcel) shortly before the Christmas break, so I had roughly 4 weeks to revise it and ended up with an A (94%, although I wasn't expecting it). If it matters, I answered the democracy question and electoral system question. Make sure you attempt as many past paper questions as you can, and go over them with your teacher (preferably during your break or after school, so you have all of your teacher's attention).

Where too?



How did you revise? What methods? 94% is excellent. Bravo!

Think that's it.

Good luck .
