A2 students - What time do you start & stop revising?

Scroll to see replies

Haven't revised for past 4 months but confident on getting A*A*A. Although, I studied hard since around September to January and managed to consistently get top grades from then until now.

Wake up at 7:30, eat breakfast until 8. Start revising at 8 and do it until 11 then have an hour break. Then carry on from 12 to 6 then have another hour break and then finish up from 7 to 10. Aiming for A*A*A*. Still have 9 exams to go, will decrease after I've gotten through some of them :smile:

I get up at 7 and start one session till 10. (5/10 min breaks as well)
Take an hour break.
Get back around 11.30ish depending on motivation, keep going till 1.

I'm at a stage where I need to remember things, not write them out. So I'm done around 4/5. I refuse to go beyond that.

I have a rule: always start work by 9:00am. So I often get up about 7:30am, go for a run, eat breakfast, read the news, listen to some French radio. Then I work pretty much constantly from 9am-9pm, taking breaks for food and drink.

I'm aiming for A*A*A, and I need A*AA for uni.

This thread has got so many people aiming for such high grades!!

I tend to just remember what was said in class although I still do the occasional past paper to make sure I don't forget. Opening a revision book however? Nah.

Fair enough. I tend to revise using past papers. Do you mind me asking what subjects you take?

Really?! Think you should try to get back into a regular pattern maybe?

How do you cope on exam days, you must be really tired?!

Hmm is that because you genuinely just cannot revise during the day time or due to distractions?
Try starting to get into a normal schedule from Thursday - you should be fine by next weeks exams then.

Is it called ultradian rhythm? Because that's what I follow. Revise in the periods you feel alert then relax as you go through a period of sluggishness, then once you perk up again go ahead with revision. :redface:

Wow some of these posts are crazy! I don't really have specific times I revise and tbh i'm really bad at it :/ still not feeling motivated even though my exams are in a week! I'm predicted AAB but I only need BBB, which seems very achievable for me, not that I want to jinks it :s-smilie:

I need A*AA, but will try to get A*A*A

I'm terrible at staying focussed at home, the only thing that seems to work is doing past papers and rewarding myself with varying amounts of food depending on how well I do- doing about 3 1.5 hour papers each day (takes less than 1.5 hours to do each one ofc), then spend 15-20 minutes after each one reading my textbooks to read up on what I got wrong. Doing about an hour a day of STEP maths too, predicted 4A*s and aiming for Ss in STEP.
