The Student Room Group

A level students - How many hours are you revising right now?

My exams start on June 4th and I currently only do 1 chemistry past paper and 1 maths past paper sometimes just random maths topics (overall 3 hours). I feel like I am learning but others student tell me they do 5+ hours and it gets me nervous.

My subjects are maths and chem - I finished all my art on Tuesday so that's all good. So should I revise more?

I am confident in maths, it's just organic that confuses my brain lol

My first exam is in 5 days there’s no more space for procrastination lol. In terms of studying all year round, I do further maths and if I don’t study for it I might aswell not turn up for the exam because it’s that hard lol.

I honestly don't know why but every time i read in organic it stays in my head or i read it over a few times. Very opposite for organic 😂
Also because there is a lotta maths 🙌

I also try look cover check ore whatever its called. Surprisingly helpful.

And of course past papers...too bad i only have 3 in total as its a new unit lmao
Weeell, my first exam's on Monday and I'll probably finish revising for it this Friday with about 4 hours a day for the last couple weeks (more like 2.5 if I take procrastination into account). I've only got two exams before the half term (but I have 8 after it), so during the half term, I'll probably be doing 5-6 hours a day (4 hours with procrastination :woo: )

i've been doing 8/9 hours because my subjects are all essay based and require loads of memorising
