how much time to spend revising

sophie26072000

how much time should I spend revising? During my GCSEs I revised every day for at least 2 hours. Last year I spend 1 hour revising a day for level 2 childcare. I am now doing a level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma Health and Social Care. How much time should I spend revising? I have been doing 1-3 hours of revision everyday since October. Is that too much?

i revise 6 hours a day on weekends and half terms. i split my revision in 2 hour sessions, 3 times a day, with an hour break in between each session. this might be seen as a lot but its what works for me. i obviously don't revise everyday which is why during weekends and half terms i spend that much time doing so. there are obviously some people who revise way more, and others who can only revise 3 hours a day max before their brain switches off. don't assess how much time you spend revising, just make sure your revision is actually efficient and that you are getting work done throughout.
