Most days. I aim for at least an hour a day. But it's more likely I'll do 2-3hrs on some days and only 30 mins on others. I go where my energy is. Some days I'm really engrossed in the work and enjoy it and can pound out several hours no problem. So on days I don't feel like it (usually college days) I don't feel so bad slacking off a bit. I trust I'll make it up another day. :smile:

Course but i only go lessons 2 hours a day on average; I have always been an autodidact so I do not attend anything I can self teach.

Usually 3 hours a day excluding time at school.
But after procrastination, that boils down to a good 1 and a half hours tbh. :bebored:

I guarantee you that, when it comes to revising, quality is far more important than quantity.

E.g. If you spent 10hrs working through 10000 quadratic equations, and you already were pretty good at solving them, you will have learnt next to nothing. You wouldn't have (at all) boosted your chances of getting a better grade in your maths exam.

It's far more important to work on what you struggle with. Sure, it might not be fun to work through difficult concepts - but I guarantee you'll learn more doing so. This idea is at the heart of something called "Deliberate Practice".

If you want to read more about how it could help you prepare for an exam, I recently wrote an article about it:

https://themathsproject.co.uk/how-to-exploit-deliberate-practice-as-you-prepare-for-a-maths-exam/

Enjoy,

Jack
