Damn 7 hours... don't think I could focus for that long. I've been doing 4-5 hours split up. If you revise too much I think it takes a toll

I'm mostly doing active recall rather than writing stuff down tho. I'm definitely not doing enough because I haven't been revising every day D:

Is 4-5 hours enough then?
It depends on where you're at and how well you already know the content.

im doing the same as i feel like there is so little time and i would rather be using my time to work on exam practice and past papers then write notes as its very time consuming and i mostly just use my revisio guide and what notes and flashcards i already have.

Oh **** **** noodles i'm stuffed then. Occasionally I have done about half an hour in a day. I wish I could revise, I really do, but I physically cannot do it. Yeh I know u probably think i'm just saying this because I can't be bothered to get on with it, but it isn't that. It's not the material I find hard, because in class i'm ok with pretty much all the stuff we do. I don't know why I find anything outside of class so hard, like I will literally (no exaggeration here) spend a whole hour trying to do one or two questions and i'll just get so frustrated with myself lol. Whereas in class, the stuff we do is no harder or easier, but I can complete nearly a whole paper (and answer it pretty accurately) in the same time. Well all I can say is you, my friend, is going to smash their exams. I applaud you.

That’s all you need to do! I only did flash cards and past papers/essay plans for my GCSEs and came out with 6A*s and 5As!

wow, those are amazing results!! I can only hope to achieve them as all my target grades are 8/9's (a* and a**). May I ask what a levels you have taken?
