How many hours a day should I be studying for resits?

I'm currently in the process of resetting my A-levels in maths and computer science. Originally, I was predicted As, but I ended up with Cs, which was disappointing. My primary goal for resitting these exams is to improve my grades so I can secure a spot at a good university to study computer science.

It's only September, and I've already started my preparation. I dedicate about 3 hours a day to intensive studying. However, I've been facing constant arguments with my dad because he believes I should be putting in at least 7 hours a day from now until June.

The thing is, I've already covered all the course content. From my perspective, spending more than 3 hours a day studying would be counterproductive and might even lead to burnout. I genuinely believe that focused and efficient studying is more valuable than just clocking in hours. I want to strike the right balance between hard work and maintaining a healthy study routine.

Hi, I'm in a similar position as you which exam board are you doing for computer science?

AQA. It's really hard to find a place to do the resits, though. My college doesn't do resits and the few places I can find that do computer science only do OCR.

Have you found a place to resits for AQA computer science yet?

Hey! Luckily for me I ended up getting an unconditional offer from my first choice so won't be following through with my resits. However I did manage to find some places. I recommend looking into nearby private schools as a lot of them offer external candidates to sit their exams for a certain fee. Unfortunately for me (I am from south-west england) I couldn't find anywhere close that does AQA Computer Science. My top choices ended up being private schools in Swansea, Cardiff and London. I recommend going directly onto their school website and getting in touch with them. Just copy paste emails and send them to a bunch of places.
Fees can range from £250 - £400 per subject and will go up after January so I recommend looking sooner rather than later xx

Hey i’m in a similar situation, i’m a contextual applicant but not sure if i’m guaranteed a contextual offer so thinking of resitting chem to better my chances. Can i still get an unconditional offer even if i say i’m resitting an alevel which i might not need to in the end?
