Revising for 4 alevel exams in 7 days

Ok I have four a level examinations in 7 days basically..

1 AS HISTORY + A2 ICT on Monday

1 AS GATSBY/POETRY ENGLISH LITERATURE

1 AS ICT

To ensure that I split up my time efficiently what do you suggest I do to gain all the knowledge I need for these, what tips, revision timetables etc, how to cram effectively.

Please note
1) I basically need full marks in all these exams
2) no exam subject needs more work than the other so I need to divide my time equally
3) they all have huge amounts to learn


Thanks so much!

Then you really can't expect to get 100% on them can you? Go cram and try get some A's or even 100% but I wouldn't be shocked if results turned out different
You should try four uni exams in a space of five days :wink:

Not enough, you're going to have to revise all day everyday to even scrape a D
