Hi @vhjvghjghjgjhf

When I was revising for my A-Levels, I tried to focus on setting tasks rather than revising for a specific amount of time. This helped me to ensure that I was completing tasks efficiently and focusing on them. It also meant that I could move onto something else once I was finished.

Maybe try making a to-do list of everything you will need to revise for maths and then split it up between the days. Make sure you also give yourself time away from it so that you do not get bored or overwhelmed.

Hope that helps and good luck with your revision!

I do 5-7 hours a day? The effectiveness of your revision is a lot more important than how many hours you spend revising. If you spend 14 hours a day reading the maths textbook, you probably won’t get an A*. If you spend less hours doing exam-style questions and understanding topics, you’ll probably get a good grade.

Have you watched Mr Bicen’s videos on YouTube? They’re great! This is for maths A level btw.
