Am I the only one who has started revising for their May/June exams?

Hey guys, now i'm not usually the sort of person, who starts revising like 3/4 months before an exam, i usually start 4-6 weeks before an exam, which is what i did for these Jan exams and came out with BBD :frown:

both B's were 4 marks of an A (Law and Psychology) and the D in English well... Its just diabolical. So i've come to the conclusion that "maybe" i'm leaving my revision a bit too late! I have in total 5 exams of which 3 are re-sits and I really want A*A*AAA and 2A's in my AS and A2 English Language coursework! So i decided in order to achieve these results and get into my dream uni (Uni of Manchester) to study Law which requires me to get AAA I best start now! But looking at some of your posts you all seem to be leaving it till april ish? I have so much to revise i couldn't possibly leave it too long! Yes its a ballache revising early but thats the point isn't it? Keep going over it till it sits in? What do you all think?

Yes, but not too much. I don't want to burn out early.

That seems like a good amount, good that you're still giving yourself a break on the weekend! Does that mean you're not at college/sixth form then? :P

Ideally its a good way to ease yourself in! Atm i'm only making my revision cards for all my subjects, i'm not "properly" revising yet

I've been revising since the end of the January session. I cranked it up after the motivation I received from my results the other day, because I really want those A*s...

That's brilliant! I've only just started since the results last thursday! I thought okay, that's the kick up the backside I needed! And if I don't want to feel crappy again start revising! My way of motivation everybody ahha

Think that's the best way, even though i'm not like full on, as i'm making my revision cards, i'm having to consolidate my notes to whats important and whats not, so i am having to think and revise at the same time! Good method methinks :smile:
