One. Then about 10 in a week the week before my exams. I had about 10/11 modules though and only had three months to prepare. Do not do this.

once easter starts i'll probably do one per day on schooldays and 2 on days off

(for my 3 alevels, so 2-4 a week would be good)

Do 2013-15 (IAL and R inclusive) a week before your exam as mocks to get an idea of what your actual paper might be like. Save them until then.

Yep, this is how much I do. The day before the exam though I do about 20 if they don't take too long.
I do 1 per module a week ATM, provided I have finished revision with my textbook

I did one of each module every week, and then 2-3 weeks before my exams one a day, then 1-2 weeks before my exams around twice a day.
I never did any for AS

One, and it's only ever C1.

Once I've finished C2 and M1 - I'll be doing 3 papers in each of the 3 modules.

Can I ask what grades you got for AS-level?

Have they not finished teaching you C2 and M1 at college yet?

No.

They go through C2 and M1 much slower at my sixth form, as the stuff in them are pretty important to understand. That said, I'm over 2/3rds through both and should be nearly done by Easter.

That's crazy, what grades did you get for GCSE? Also what revision techniques do you use (I'm curious)? I imagine you naturally have a really good memory!!
