How much revision do you do?

How many hours a day? How frequent/how many breaks? Every day? And do you follow a revision timetable?

At the moment about 8 hours a day as im in exam season. I would say 8 of actual work and 6 for breaks/eating. I'm cramming as i diddnt do much work in the year.

Still getting 8 hours sleep.

My time table:
Wake up 6 get ready eat breakfast etc.
7-9 biology
9-10 break
10-12 biology past papers
12-1 break
1-3 maths past papers
3-4-break
4-6 more maths papers
6-7 break 7-10 chemistry past papers
10- sleep time

I stick to it somedays but somedays i take long breaks.

Wow you do a lot and have it all planned out! I find it hard to stick to revision timetables, I just revise whenever... You in A2?
Tbh I started what many call 'hard core revision' sort of late so yeah I did 12.5 hours of pscyhology yesterday...

I never do revision, hardly ever really. That's a really bad thing as I procrastinate heavily, but I think it's weighed out by the fact I focus a lot in class which I judge to be far more important.

I started doing about 7 hours a day from 11am to 6pm in March, with a timetable for all subjects, but now I'm doing about 8 hours a day from 10am to 7pm, with a couple of small breaks in between, for whatever exam I am prioritizing at that time. I find it easier to revise for longer with less breaks, as I just get distracted and my revision doesn't flow as well as it would otherwise. At the moment I'm not using my revision timetable anymore, and I'm just doing what I know I need to revise, for example I'm going to spend Saturday doing Unit 2 Psychology, and Sunday doing Cold War.
Definitely not enough :cry2:
enough to pass well i hope?

I guessed that your username was related to the amount of revision you've been doing?

are you at A2?
it can range from 8 hours a day to none at all. For example, today I did 30 minutes and then got distracted...
I'm a mess :frown:

I procrastinate/sleep/am busy all day and at nights I do 8-15 exam papers for maths and chemistry. Last weekend I went crazy one day and did 51 and some extra exercises. Since then I cba, I barely read my notes for 2 hours this week. But another weekend is coming so I hope the crazy dorky me will rise again.

I really need to get my **** together.
I peaked way too early imo so I typically aim for ninety minutes-two hours per night on weekdays, nothing at the moment for weekends.

That's not including the hours of revision I have to do in lesson time, however.
