I'm not doing it in hours anymore.
Setting myself a essay/summary/section of notes to do per day.
Hopefully a topic a week with the weekends for tests and stuff :smile:

The half term started off so well with revision and now I am just browsing the interwebs pointlessly.
I did about 3 hours today, but I usually just set myself goals of things to do instead of time I should spend on a subject. Didn't end up reaching my goal today though :tongue:
I am that easily distracted I really have no idea. I do actually do a lot of work though.

Also, as for pre-exam revision: personally I think if your notes aren't in your head you've left it far too late. I had to do a resit year so I speak from experience. Last minute cramming never helped me in the slightest bit.

This time round I just do 3-4 past papers before going into the exam so I'm already in full flow.

Not doing anything until Easter - but then about 5.5 hours a day I'm guessing - that will allow me to do four past papers a day. I have to get an average of over 94% to have a hope of getting into Cambridge so I've got to revise as much as possible really.

I have not done any yet! Am I screwed for As Level? I take Art, Bio, Eng Lit , Classic, I was planning on doing 12 hours+ everyday during Easter hols because that is what I did for GCSE and I managed to get nearly all A*'s? Also my subject are hard to revise from(apart form BIO) as I don not have textbooks etc, so do I just need to know the books inside out...
Help, this half term I have just been doing homework teachers have set and recuperating from last term, ahhhh...

i do computing n maths n business i need to revise for those aswell i got a mock next week and NO REVISION OMG

ok how shall we start,

i done 2 minutes of my coursework yesterday because my dad was watching over me haha,

hmm thats seems like a good method with som1 watching over u,

i am a guy who likes to get things done perfectly and spend time on it, ive tried the "2 minute rule" and i cant even start on that,

a good tip is to put stuff in bytesize chunks and that doesnt work either

what shall we do!

haha oh that's brilliant you should pin a picture of you dad on the wall in front of you, so that whenever you look up you see him! Umm or get someone to facetime/skype with you so that they can check you are doing work...
^^ Actually this one might not work, I have done this and said I was googling something when I was skyping my friend but I was actually on Facebook....hmm
Oh whats the 2 minute rule? Work for 2 mins then break??
I dont know, uhh maybe try setting goals, say I wont play flappy bird until I get this chapter done etc.
(Thats what I have tried today- I wont check snapchat even though I have loads of notifications until I plan this essay...?)

loooooool picture of dad on the wall will freak me out :redface:

yeah thats the 2 minute rule i think,

distractions such as flapy bird or tv i dont normally do, i have big plans and goals to do other stuff,

i got the best idea, we should skype screen share and check on each other to see if we r doing work

haha just a suggestion lol

Oh okay, yeah I would get to distracted doing the 2 min rule...
Good for you!
What so you just share the screen of your computer?:confused:
I am not sure that will be very helpful for me as everything I am doing is handwritten...?
Usually 4 minimum 2 will step it up from beginning of march to minimum 4 average 5-6. Completed some revision of fraud and false misrepresentation in A2 law today need to start doing past papers though

okay fine then, yep my teacher want me to handwrite it cuz thats how the exam will be and its good practice for the real thing ....
hmm I had not thought of it that way... very philosophical hmm I think personally I am very lazy when it comes to doing stuff however I can spend a good 10 hours doing it if I enjoy it or if I am really focused (mostly for art) How about you?
