I did 9 HOURS REVISION TODAY!

Scroll to see replies

And here I am in a2 doing 3 hours a day. Ok.
I did like 10 hours total at GCSE and you're doing 9 hours a day. That's cool.
I did 4 hours a day for GCSEs (during the holidays and study breaks) and 2 hours a day during school (excluding revision at school during lessons).

I do the same for AS because I just physically can't cram in 9 hours of revision without dying. I did about 6 one day but that was a miracle of a day.
I usually wake up at 9am and revise all the way till midnight (with regular breaks of course) - I'm doing Scottish Highers btw :smile:

A lot of people think that the best way to revise is like this:

Revision Guide > Note-taking > Exam Paper > Review/solutions

The first two are where 80% of your time and effort is being wasted.

Most people start from the front and go that way and won't move on to past paper until they've 'learned' all of the content.

That's so inefficient and time wasting because when you learn something and then check again after a couple of hours if you can remember exactly what you had noted down chances are you'd forget most of it, only when you go over it several times will it stick in your head.

Most of your results actually come from the last step! Review/mark scheme and people spend least amount of time here...

REVIEWING papers as you go along is most important. See where and why you're going wrong and don't make those mistakes again.

UNDERSTAND the mark scheme as that's what examiners use ...

For most effective revision now here is the secret:

Exam Paper > Review/mark scheme > Revision Guide > Note-taking

Start an exam question and work backwards... :smile:


Try this if your really desperate @redddddd :smile:

No problem! Try it yourself, test yourself first then do the other steps. :smile:

Good luck:smile::smile:

Absolutely amazing thank you! :biggrin:
I did 5 hours today... Going to do 5 to 7 more tomorrow :s-smilie:
Quality not quantity.

Did anything actually go in your head in the 9 hours or were you just writing aimlessly for 9 hours?
I organised my revision but didn't directly do any revising at all despite making plans to do so, so it looks like I will be doing double tomorrow, which is fine because I have no plans anyway.

Yeah planning on revising all day today, my eyes are still bloodshot from yesterday though. Don't ask why lol.
