A2Bio, Chem and Maths. Bricking it because I know nothing at this point. You?


I do AS chemistry, bio, maths and psychology, I'm also quite scared, especially for chemistry since I failed my mock

Thanks! Sleeping? And watching a whole list of dramas and TV shows (I'm taking a gap year) should be fun.
I'm not sure, thinking about 3-4 hours per day.

I do English Lit, History and Maths, so it should be manageable, maybe I need to put in some more on particular days.

I agree with the previously established concept of revising by deciding on what is to be achieved within the revision session, rather than simply attempting to fill a particularly stretch of time.

Maths is the hardest for me, but I really need at least one A grade in order to attend my University of choice, at least, that is what I have been told.

My problem is that I lack the concentration necessary to study for long periods of time, I turn to forum boards such as Reddit (and even TSR itself can be viewed as a means to procrastinate), rather than simply buckling down and performing maths questions.

Does anyone perhaps have any tips that I can use to retain my focus for extended periods of time? They would be much appreciated.

About 5_6 hrs per day. This includes making notes, revising old notes and lots of past papers.

I'm in the process of typing notes according to the specification and then I'm going to make mind maps from them etc!! Wish I did this earlier though
Get up at 5:20am, aim to finish revision by 8:30pm. Overall I take 3hrs of breaks thought the day so I'm studying for 12hrs a day. Been revising since November trying to do at least 3hrs a day on school days in between homework and 10-12hrs at the weekend. Put in 12hrs of revision a day during the October half term, Christmas (except Christmas day) and the February half term before mocks. Yeah I've pretty much had no life this year.... And I'm exhausted but it's so almost over!!!!
Gonna start Monday.

Gonna do an hour a day for the week, quite excited to start.

Then start again in half term before exams :biggrin:
