Am I studying too much?

Hello,

I'm 13 and I'm studying 1 and a half hours a day. Is this too much? Or is it a good thing to start studying now, because I want to get maybe a grade 8 or possibly grade 9 on my GCSEs? I want to get into a good college and university. Is it better to start studying now or wait until I'm in Y10/11?

I thought you said you were in Y13 in which case I would’ve said that’s a decent amount but because you’re 13 I would say it is probably too much! I mean it’s up to you but you are going to have to do so much studying later in life and you might as well enjoy school and relax at the moment because (as a Y13) I can tell you from my own experience that none of the tests you do now will ever matter! Even GCSEs aren’t that important and it’s great you want to get an 8 or 9 but you don’t need to start revision now for that. When I was in Y11 I would revise the night before my science exams and I got 8s in them all so really don’t worry about it at the moment, enjoy school as much as possible and work hard when you get to that exam stage! You should obviously study if you want and if you enjoy it but don’t feel pressured to do so as it probably won’t make a difference to your GCSEs to start studying yet anyway

Enjoy yr9 seriously, I messed about so much got suspended played football all day when it came to yr 11 knuckled down and got 5 9's to 2 8's and 3 7's

In sixth form in A level got 3 A's in Bio chem maths and offer from medicine.

Its about working hard when it matters yr 11, yr 12, yr13

Dont work hard from yr7 to yr10 use those years to have a good time with friends cause life gets harsh when you grow older.

Ah ok, I'll probably still study but not as much lol ty for the advice, I'll be sure to chillax and enjoy y9 a bit more
