and is it the right time/too early to revise for exams in summer? first exam is may 17th i have 12 exams btw
please
Relax, you have plenty of time. I'd suggest starting whenever the Easter holidays officially begin for you; start with maybe a couple of hours a day and then gradually build up. There's no magic number or hard and fast rule as to how long you have to be sufficiently prepared for your exams - it differs completely from person to person. Ensure the revision you are doing is effective and don't be afraid to take a break or have a day off every now and again.

Best of luck. Panicking like this isn't going to help you in the slightest.

You don't seem to have taken on board most of what I wrote in the post. It varies from person to person as to when you should begin. When do you feel comfortable starting? How much is "a lot"? I've got 11 exams, I think, and I don't plan to start until I finish next week. I will be doing between 2 and 4 hours a day, I suspect (and this may be too much).

Maths, Chemistry, History, Politics and General Studies (2 for each + 3 for Maths IIRC).
