I generally had about 3 or 4 hours of classes a day, and did a few hours work in frees and at home, so maybe 6 or 7 hours on a good day? More often than not it would have been closer to 5 hours, and I'd not really take in what I learnt in lessons so really closer to about 1 hour total productive studying haha

Weekends probably about 2 hours (if anything) on Saturdays and then most of Sunday afternoon.

physics, maths, biology, chem. I do international a levels to be specific (Edexcel).

Hey I'm in year 11 and was considering taking that a level combo but wanted to do a humanity as well, so I've settled for bio chem physics and history (or maybe geography) for medicine. Would you say A level physics would be more difficult without maths? I've heard conflicting opinions, some ppl say its necessary and others say its fine without so idk

Hey! I did physics last year without maths, I've only started maths this year (done with half) and I'd say if you did well at GCSE maths A level physics shouldn't be a problem for you :smile:

besides, they're not allowed to assume that you do physics with maths and so the maths you'll need to know won't be very advanced. there were only one or two occasions where I thought a level maths would have been helpful but that's because I like to look at derivations and stuff in a lot of detail
Summary: you should be fine, you don't need maths :smile:

I do probably about 6-8 depending on my mood

like 2-3 of actual lessons, 2-3 of hw then 1-3 of independent study/ revision

in non-lockdown I do wayyy less on weekends but atm im doing maybe 4?

its not about how long you study its about how well. (Im predicted 3A*)

At least 13 - 14 hours. That's because the subjects I take are very demanding. At least 10 hours on the weekend too.

as a lazy rat, i studied around hours, (not counting breaks) during exams month

A-levels

When you have lessons in the day how many hours do you study in total, including your class times? What about the weekends?

Thank you.

I study psychology, history? And English.
I've also done an epq and 4 music grades since year 12 (I'm in year 13 now).
I don't revise outside of lessons for English and I spend 1 hour a day outside of lessons on history and psychology
