yeahh we're still getting a bunch of hw, but I'm gonna try to revise 2h a night, or 1h at the very least. Tbh cramming kinda works for me? But obvs a levels have way more content+ more complex content, than GCSE, so I'll have to start revising nooowww :frown:

do u do like sciences or humanities?

how did those mocks go? ah they gave us such a short notice and it would be better if we did them after easter holidays but oh well. they said we are doing those summer exams too, so even more stress! im just revising content for now as I do content heavy subjects... biology, chemistry and geography. going to start papers next week or this week

I've been doing some revision for mocks but honestly, I'm quite confused as to what is actually happening at the moment

yeah they went well thanks. That's so annoying abt the short notice. :frown:

but the more exams the more opportunities to demonstrate how good u r ig? Hopefully teachers can use ur best work mainly as evidence...

Yes, I started revising for mocks about two weeks ago. I think mine have been delayed until April so I am feeling happy I started early :smile:

I think it's more so logistically they couldn't have mock exams now, but we're doing a full set with coursework counted. In essence, we are doing our A Levels in April.

Thanks! You too! I've been balancing homework with revision. I've been doing 2-5 hours everyday (split between each subject) and then moving it up to 8 hours on the weekend. Today will be more like an hour just for Politics because I have homework due :smile:

I downloaded Flora which helped me keep focused.

I do a lot of hours everyday. I probably do about 10 hours total every day and divide the day into 2 subjects, so for today, I will be doing geography and biology.
