How long to study

I am a gcse student (year 10 ) aiming for top grades, basc 9's, but i don't really have a long attention span burnout super easily and gets anxious if theres a lot which also stops me from focusing, how long should i study in 50 min study 10 min cycle , a day on weekdays and weekends

Hi,
Honestly, there’s no perfect number of hours for everyone, so I’d suggest trying out a few different methods and seeing what works best for you! Personally, when I was taking my N5's (Scottish equivalent to GCSEs), I’d usually revise for about 1–2 hours a day on weekdays. I’d break it up into smaller chunks, like 30 minutes of work then a short break to have a snack, stretch, chill😊
Also mixing up revision methods helped me stay focused – like using flashcards, past paper questions, and active recall!
I'd always try to have atleast 1-2 days of the week where i wasnt revising to re-charge, always reccomend as you feel so much more refreshed afterwards!
Hope this helps, goodluck with your GCSE's!! 💜

Thats very true @VDUSEN. In my case I like to listen to videos wile doing something else for example artwork, working out or knitting or some hobby that does not involve listening. This way it becomes habit. In this case you have to study A LOT like a bunch of the time and take out sections where yous ti down and do written revision. I like to do Seneca because it's interactive and just copy the notes and do the seneca stuff. hope this helps xx
