5-7 hours after school?


Yeah, Baring in mind that I finish school at 1am at least 4 days a week, and my nearest exam is in less than a months time.

I really think my Physics teacher made Google :smile:

I didn't revise at all for AS, got 2 A's and a B. I don't plan on revising much for A2 either, just briefly reading a summary of the book before the Unit 4 exam.

Edit: But this is because I'm taking languages which I already speak. :wink:

Same, took the day off, tried revising in the morning but just couldn't.
Oh well, going to suffer for this tomorrow now. I keep thinking of the depression I'll fall into if I fail to get the AAA i need to make my firm choice. Aargh.

I don't exactly count the hours, I set myself targets instead. But even within that, I procrastinate a lot (exhibit A)
It varies day to day for me, around 3 hours everyday TBH, same for weekends.
For example I did 2 hours Saturday, 4 hours Sunday, 1 hour yesterday and 6 hours today (including frees I used to revise) so around 3 hours, although I dont really revise on Saturdays for more than an hour as coach and watched my beloved Derby County! I think 3 hours is ok, have 7 AS exams, and did 2 hours a day, for a week before my Jan exam and got ABBE (E was in Biology, and I know where I went wrong).
To summarise 3hrs a day is probably about right as long as its focused and you dont procasinate for it

3 hours sounds great, I came out with ABC (I'm retaking the C, my technique was wrong) in my January exams, I did about 4 hours a day in the holidays and about 2 hours after school every day. I'm doing 2 hours after school a day, this will probably increase one or two weeks before the exams (they start of the 21st for me). For me 2 hours doesn't over do it and I can at least have some time to relax in the evening and just finish up on some homework. :smile:

Before my Jan Exams I did around 3hrs a day in the holidays for a week, and then 2hours a night for a week, got ABBE (resitting E) so not to bad

Well this is on my free time, when i dont have to go to school. In school I study like 8 hours daily and after school like about 3 more doing my homework and stuff. Obviously preparing an important exam is different that doing basic homework...I beggin IB exams today soy that is why I'm studying that much.
I do about 3 hours everyday after school and then between 2-6 hours on the weekend.

i know that sounds loads but guys I have 19 exams starting in two weeks! So really I'm not doing a lot per subject it's just overall! And I'm bricking it haha!
