some people will tell you none. how these people aced their exams with no revision is a miracle..
try to do as much as you can, but do not overwork yourself, make sure you eat, do something you enjoy and sleep at a time where you will not be tired the following morning...
do between 2-4 hrs each day, perhaps leaving the weekend off or doing a bit less.. but never start revision too late, do it maybe between 5pm and 9pm. always take breaks periodically..
just remember its not for how long you revise for, its how you revise which will be more effective, dont just sit there and read books and hope something goes in, this is only good for cramming for the evening before the exam..
