haha, we ain't much different. I am also starting hard core revising now. Hopefully I will get at least 5A* so I can do medicine. I don't think we have enough time but loads of my sixth form friends day that it's enigu enough time.

How many hours do you revise each day and how much hours do u revise on weekends?
I recommend that you go light in year 10 and just make sure you know the stuff you have done in lessons and then start properly in year 11 . I hope that helps ...
Hi! I'm in year 10 at the moment and I'm wondering whether I should begin to revise all the stuff I have done so far in the year, when I have free time and stuff. I'm not great at revision so I generally just rewrite my notes and do mind maps spider diagrams etc..... and that has got me pretty much all A grades and the odd B and A* but I just want to know when I should do revision. Is it too early? Some of my friends do the odd bit and earlier in the year I simplified all my notes I made in class but haven't done it in a while and want to know whether you guys revised or are revising like an hour a night or something.
THANKS for any replies!

Now is a good idea, if not, February is the latest I would have left it.
Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some advice? My GCSEs start 17thmay-17june and I haven't started revising yet! I have 21 exams and just can't find the motivation to start revising. I'm aiming for grades as high as possible (A*/A/Bs) but find that I am so worried about starting revision. It's Easter holidays so I won't to do as much as possible now but still enjoy the break, i just haven't got the motivation though.

I started revision around mid march, I had a few less exams - between 18 and 20 I think. Don't start revising too early, I know some people who did and they just burned out by the time exams came around. It's better to start a bit later as you can keep your motivation up as your end goal is closer - obviously don't start too late! Also, make sure you know what type of revision works for you. Hope this helps! (In case you want to know- I got 11 a*s)

If you're really relying on someone to give you a toolkit for motivation and to tell you to start revising, repeating yourself to them isn't going to help you. Just saying

Well, in my year 9 exams i got 1 A and 10 B's But they were just mocks.
I did 2 hours revision each day and started in september
I need help im 3 month's away from my exam's i flopped my mocks but i am predicted high grades; i was a student who has the ability to do well but never tried and it's all beginning to hit back at me with plenty of unfinished coursework piling on top of me however the motivation has always been there but im not sure on how to revise and I'm usually a mentally strong person however this is bdcoming overwhelming
Hey , I'm in Year 10. It's March and I got my exams in May. Haven't started revision yet but planning to start next week. Last year I started around the same time and ended up getting 1A* and 5A's for the early GCSE's I did so I guess that if you start mid march, then ya should be good!
