Im in Yr12 and have mocks coming up. I know the amount that you revise is always going to depend on each individual person, but I was just wondering how much it is recommended to revise per day, or how much do you revise/day?

Anywhere between 2 to 4 hours of revision in a day a success to me.
But you're right, you should go at your own pace. Some days I can't even make myself revise for 10 minutes, and then there are others where I can sit down to study for a whole afternoon without batting an eye. If you leave yourself enough time before mocks, you can afford to have days where you don't want to do anything. I find that working like that is more effective, and less stressful, as opposed to having a strict schedule and forcing yourself to revise for X amount of hours every day.

Personally, I'm Year 13 and I do 4-8 per day, depending. E.g. I'm about to finish my 8 for today, but knowing that I'm going to a uni open day tomorrow meaning that I'm unlikely to do more than an hour or two. I won't often do 8, either. On the other hand, I have Church Sunday mornings and prefer to have a relaxed day, so most Sundays I won't do more than 4. As a year 12, you certainly don't need to be doing 6/7/8 hours! Perhaps soon before your exams 6, but your priority is long-term revision motivation and ensuring that you understand all your topics. If you did 4 hours each non-school day, you should more than cover the spec in time, and you'd have time to relax as well - basically, do what you can but don't force yourself to do more than you can manage. Also, you shouldn't give up days out or anything at this point - by spring next year you probably won't be socialising much so take the opportunity now!

Hi! I'm in year 12 too and I was actually wondering the same thing. Anyways I spoke with my form tutor and apparently the aim is to do about 4-5 hours per subject a week. It sounds like a lot but if you get as many study periods as I do you can pretty much do it all with weekends and a couple of study periods free. Hope this helps x

In those numbers, do you include homework?

I believe so yes! I think the idea is that your homework should be relevant in what you need to know

In our school it's recommended that you do 5hrs/subject a day, so 15 hrs a week, but I was also confused whether that meant I should be doing 15hrs of revision separate to homework or whether it's all counted as one
