just do as much as you can now, no point worrying when you can be studying - and it can't exactly be quantified just do your work

It is very late but obviously you still have time , do like 10 hrs a day , do loads of past papers and start from today, give it a go at least

Hi,
I don't think it's ever too late, you can only do so much. Maybe you should have started revising a little earlier as they expect such a high grade but that's easy for us all to say :biggrin:

we all procrastinate... In terms of how many hours you would need to do, that depends on a mixture of how well you know yourself in your studies and how much you need to revise. You know what you are capable of and how quickly you are able to learn things. I would definitely start with the areas you are weak on and leave the strengths till last. This way you can be sure that whatever question comes up in the exam you will have knowledge on all areas. You will definitely need to 'cram' more revision in than before but don't do too much at one time as you will over work yourself! Do it little and often and take breaks :smile:

If it was me, I would try to revise every day from now till your exam. Even if you only did 30 mins, it's better than nothing.

Best of luck in your exam/s and I hope uni goes well :smile:

remember there is always ways around things if they don't go to plan! Don't doubt yourself.

How long is a piece of string...

Either way, it doesn't matter if its too late or not, you have to do it anyway, so why complicate things, just get on with it and good luck on your exams.

Oh I was talking about A-Levels. I have no experience with the new GCSE format but I would imagine it's still similar. I would just say know your texts very well using sites like Literarychart and then look at A*-A graded essays and try to mimic the things they do well (see how they structure their paragraphs, see what kind of starting sentences they use, and pick up on those and use them in your own essays). Spending 10-15 minutes in the beginning to plan also helps to organise your ideas.
