when are they? what order? do you have time between the exams? and roughly how much content do each of them have relative to each other

Monday and Tuesday sociology first then politics, I’m pretty solid with politics I just need to remember all the sociologists studies and then all recent politics stats and it feels like a lot lol

hey. i just had econ on mon, philo on tue, and eng lit on wed this week (brutal, i know) and a very similiar schedule for next week. just keep a list of things you want to review e.g, the day before philo, i wanted to make sure my 25 mq were definitely in my head and i also went to bed around 10/11pm. typically, i'm working late through the night but not this time as not having enough sleep for back to back exams will slow you down. another tip, don't leave everything till the night before, because there will not be enough time to go through everything, it's not feasible. you still have today, sat, and sun so spread the work out so you are not doing too much the night before. also doing the exam for a couple of hours on monday will make you tired and will slow you down when you need to revise for politics, so take that into account too. essentially, plan, be organised, and don't leave it last minute because there won't be enough time.

Hi @kocaz,

Sorry to hear you have exams so close. I had a similar issue when I was doing A-levels.

My best recommendation is to stay focus and prepared. Make sure you have covered both revision areas fully before both exams, then after the first exam you can just recap, cover material you struggle with the most etc.

The most important things is you give yourself a break, allow your brain to reset, even if its just for a couple hours. Diving straight into revision after an exam may cause more stress if a small break is not given.

I'm sure you will do great in both exams! 😊

Good luck, please feel free to ask me any questions,
