18 hours revision in 4 days!

OK I've planned 18 hours over 4 days,

5 HOURS Biology (1 hour 15 mins per day) - Exam in 5 days!!
5 HOURS Chemistry (1 hour 15 mins per day) - Exam in 7 days!!
Maths (2 hours per day) - Exam in 14 days!!

Do I need to work for more hours to get those grade As I really want or does that sound good?

Or 8 hours per day?

I feel like you're a really good student already. Sounds good, don't do 8 per day. You'll do fine, I'm sure.

(BTW, I can't believe how many people I can find here that do the R papers. OMG it's not only me!)
You need to relax.
i think ur study plan is great don't extend it as ur brain need's to relax too :goodluck::gthumb:

Yep 8 hrs! Well it depends what you mean by that...
If you mean if I do stuff like most teenagers do that would take up so much time then no. I literally have the whole day. I don't have any friends and don't use any social media either nor do I go out much... Why , does it sound like too much? It seems doable for me.

8 hours sounds fine to me. I worked full time before going back to uni but then when I studied I was in a routine of an 8 hour work day so I just timetabled my revision over 8 hours with a lunch break and a couple of tea breaks. If you treat it like a job then it's just as exhausting as any job - so may as well get used to a 9-5 before the real thing. For me, it was a case of being used to that 9-5 schedule and I needed to maintain that discipline.

It's not about the hours. It's about what you do during these sessions.
