Can I get 9s from this?

If I do 4 hours of revision everyday and like 6 hours before my actual exam could I get all 9s from this cause I have 4 weeks and I don’t wanna get burnt out also im currently on 7s

quality of quantity!! if u revise each subject properly you could get all 9s with even less hours of revision. its not the hours that matters but the revision techniques for each subject.

active recall using flashcards for sciences, for maths practice as much exam questions as you can even for the grade 4-5 topics bc even though they're easy ppl tend to focus on the grade 8-9 topics and end up forgetting the grade 4-5 ones. For english make essay plans and have your teacher look at them and know at least 3-5 quotes for each character, to get a 9 in english you gotta have really good analysis so ask your teacher for as much feedback as you can on the essay plans

i didn't do geography and computer science but my friends who did computer science and got grade 9s used premade flashcards on quizlet aswell as lots of past papers but tbh i would say leave past papers until feb-march times like after mocks to avoid accidently doing the mock paper

this is really subjective tbh, i would say atleast 1hr but like you also need to have breaks aswell, like you mentioned 4-6 hrs which if your committed its fine but honestly make sure to have breaks in between. I banged out revision throughout yr 11 and in the moment its feels like you kinda have to so you can get the grades you want in the end but looking back on it now if your prepared and you manage your revision and time properly you dont have to do as much.

Since its half-term i'd say 1-2hr at least and on the weekends maybe 2-3, after school theres not much time so try to fit atleast 1hr in. But if you prepare your resources really well rn it will save you soo much time when your revising in the future so 4-6hr wont be necessary. Please remember that at the end of the day there isnt a specific amount of time everyone should be revising for and even if you don't get all 9s in mocks it doesnt mean you havent been revising long enough but maybe the revision technique isnt for you.
