Year 11 GCSE revision how many hours?
It’s early March and I’m currently on grades around 98888777. My goal is 99998888 by the real exams.
How much should I be revising everyday from now up until my exams if I want to reach my goal?

Hi @aslkdfsaj
When I was in Year 11, I never had a set amount of hours per week that I would revise. Instead, I used to make a to-do list of everything that I wanted to achieve and then work my way through that. Each week I would revise some subject content but mainly focus on practising answering exam questions.
Everyone will revise for different amount of times. I would say it is more important to have really focused revision sessions rather than revising for a long time but not actually getting much done.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
I’d focus more on quality over quantity. Use your subjects’ specifications to RAG (red, amber, green) so you know where to prioritise topics. Then use active revision techniques like mindmaps, flashcards, blurting, topic questions and doing past papers under timed conditions. Also, reading examiner reports can help you understand what examiners are really looking for. This is more effective than just counting hours and creating a flexible timetable will also help prevent burnout.
Best of luck for your exams!
