tbh I've been feeling really depressed atm, it gets so bad during summer time and during the holidays I've only really done two hours per day of efficient revision and I'm really scared that I'm going to ruin my life, is there still a chance for me to do well if I revise loads now? I'm pretty well prepared for my first exams though, it's just my exams after half term that I'm a bit terrified of

Hi @amnajsjkkj

Sorry to hear you're feeling down about your exams.

It's great that you've been revising already, so you should give yourself some credit for that. Maybe what you can do now is really focus your revision to make the most of the time you have left.

Short bursts of focused revision really helped me. And I liked to work through my revision, focusing firstly on my weakest areas, and also on which subject exams came first.

It's doable to get in some more revision, you just need to stick to consistent revision over the next few weeks. Schedule in some breaks throughout your day too, as I find I get more distracted by spending hours revising and restricting my rest time.

And if you can, have a go at some last exam questions and papers, as I found this helped me to feel more confident with the exam papers for the real thing.

Best of luck! 🙂
