Depends what time I get up :smile: So if I get up at half 9, I have breakfast, then probably start revising at 10 or 11. But it could be as late as 2pm. Then I stop at 10 or 11 at night (with breaks and food in between of course!).
Hoping to get A*A*B (although my offer is AAA - I won't get an A in maths though).
I try to do around 6 hours. Try and start at 9/10am, but because I try and have lots of breaks I stop around 9.30pm :smile:
Aiming for ABB, maybe AAB

Start at 8-10am, take regular breaks every 2hours, get about 3-8 hours done a day

aiming for A*A*A
I usually start at about 9, have lunch about 12.30, and stop at around 6. But I do have a lot of breaks in between, so it's really not as much as it sounds! I find I'm much sharper in the mornings and absolutely rubbish in the evenings

well depends when i wake up. But usually i start revising at 11-12. Then stop around 11-12pm. i take breaks in between off course. Predicted A*A*A*A.
Did my A2s a couple of years ago, only revised for about an hour a day at home. My college still made you come in after the teaching had finished though since they didn't trust students to bother revising at home, so I'd gone through practically every past paper there was in class so if you include that was probably around 4-5 hours a day with weekends off.
I can't work after 6pm, and work best in the mornings so:
Up at 4:30am
Start @ 5am, usually do an hour,
Make more coffee, then do another hour.
Have breakfast
and then for the rest of the day do an hour at a time with breaks after.
Lunch an hour
And then the same until 5pm (exercise, dinner, relax, socialise, bed)

Predicted AAB :smile:

On a productive day (not many days)
11-2 with breaks in between
3--5 with breaks in between
8-10.30 with breaks in between.

I find the breaks help me be more focus and I can't sit in a room and revise all day so I usually use the library to reduce procrastination temptations :smile:
Haven't started revising yet.

I'm hoping to get A*A*A but in all likelihood will get A*AA. Worst case scenario I'll get AAA.

Good luck to everyone. :smile:

Ah similar to me :smile: Good luck! :biggrin:
Oh my goodness, this is making me feel so nervous that I'm not doing enough haha. I do little and often, so I might do about 1 or 2 hours in the morning then the same at about 5/6 in the evening. I am predicted A*A*A, but I need AAB for uni. I hope my attitude doesn't sound complacent, because I'm not at all :frown:
