Revision.

[iBlueBox]

How many hours of Revision do you do a day?

With my a-level exams coming up at summer. I try to get at least four hours a day one.

1 Hour > History - For the English side of the course of Elizabeth, James Charles.
1 Hour > R.E , Design Argument act
1 Hour > ICT, learning about uses of ICT, keywords ect.
1 Hour > History - Learning the American side, civil rights, communism ect.

[Cerys]

None.

Tbh I never have revised. I guess I do decently on exams without revising, but I think now I'm half way through this year of GCSEs, I'm gonna revise more for the final exams.

[geo]

I always try revising but when I'm at home it's just impossible - anything can be a distraction! I'll be going to my school to get some help with revision when I need it though, haha.

[Jordan]

I always prefer to go to revision classes afterschool because I know there are no distractions and when I have a problem I can ask an expert and get a reply. During easter I am planning to do a subject a day and go through books and past papers just to prepare myself.

[:odey:]

I'm the same as Cerys,

I actually did no revision for my GCSE's, and got good solid grades,

So in a way a regret it, because I possibly could have done a lot better!

But I wouldn't be able to do long periods of revision, I think short, but often would be a lot more suited for me :)

[Matthew]

I don't really revise before the last day. So far, as I near my final GCSe exams, I'm at straight a*s with little to no revision so I can't see myself doing much for them. For my a levels I expect this to change but hey!

My history igcse is all I see myself revising for as there's so much to learn, but as I love history and am really into it I find it quite easy to remember with little revision :)

[Samantha.]

I didn't really revise for my GCSE's but for my A levels I went to a lot of revision sessions at college and then at home I'd go a couple of hours a day for each subject I had an exam in. I did a lot more revision for psychology than any others because it was my hardest exam and I wanted to do well.

[Aaron]

I don't like studying, but I do choose to-do it. I'll be the one to benefit from it at the end of the day, nobody else. I've been doing some study, and stopped for a bit and now I've started again, I've exams in eight or nine weeks so I'll need to get my head down and work, work, work!

[GirlNextDoor15]

wth is wrong with you guys lol
I did lots of constant revision for my GCSEs esp. Biology and Add Maths cause I just love those subjects. The amount of time spent on my revision varied because I used to have like lots of curricular activities and I had to stay back at school until 4 or 5pm. Revision will improve your understanding on certain topics obviously but if you consider yourself a smart ass, then I'd say go ahead with whatever you want to do and don't regret at the end!

[Succubus]

I'd spend 1 hour until taking a 10 min break then repeat this until I think I've done enough!
I'd also stay back to do some extra revision, getting some great grades :)

[Showder]

I do some revisions, when exams are coming nearer e.g 1 and a half month away

But other then that, I do homework? Does that count lol xx

[JerseySafety]

none, I have never done revision even before big exams and managed to pass. naturally smart ;)

[Eric]

At least 30 minutes a day. :)

[=Lizzy]

i have 5 exams coming up (not that many compared to others i know)
but im doing 2 hours a day
definitely need to pass them

[Matt]

I can't revise to save my life! I am hopeless at it. Even if i try. (Explains my grades in certain subjects though :L)

[SackRace]

I don't mind it always get distracted though.

[Jurv]

i dont have set times of revision, which is probably why i'm not doing as best i could be. i usually only revise each night, one week before the exam. i do feel like that's the best way for me tho, otherwise the information doesn't stay in my head. haha!

[Amberr]

I can't follow a fixed revision schedule, it just never works for me haha. I'm trying to cover a particular topic of a subject per day or more. So i'm trying to do a couple of hours each day.

[Sloths]

I don't tend to take subjects that have exams, this year I only have English and Calculus exams. I won't be studying for English as I never do so all the time that I do spend on revision (which isn't much) will be focused on Calc. I do manage to pass so all is fine :P

[Jssy]

Now its easter hols I'm doing 4 hours a day, but thats not too much because I do like 2 hours of art coursework, 1h of english, 1h of r.e etc

[AlexHenry]

I was rubbish at revising for GCSE but did really well in class so yeah, my grades didn't reflect how well I did. Now I'm doing a BTEC in Business at college with no revision - only coursework all the time. I so much prefer the style and now my hard work is reflecting my grades. I am though having to do Functional Maths in which I am revising really hard for when I feel like it - no set timetable. I passed level one, only level two to go and then hopefully that's Maths over and done with. Here's hoping! :)

[luce]

I don't time it I just have a timetable of what i need to do each day. I find anything else too regimented.

[GirlNextDoor15]

I do some revisions, when exams are coming nearer e.g 1 and a half month away

But other then that, I do homework? Does that count lol xx

No. I don't think homework is a way to revise. Nonetheless, it does improve on your understanding on certain topics.

[garriet]

i don't really revise much, i'm the same as georgia really, i find it hard to revise at home because i have loads of distractions etc. but i need to set myself a timetable and make sure i stick to it :)

[Kyle]

1 hour in the morning/afternoon and 1 at night.

[Suspective]

I'm going to do some revision next week.

I don't do to bad without revision but its nice to get some done, and it can help make you feel prepared for the exam. :P

[Mollie]

I didn't do any for my GCSE's and I was pleased with my results.
Really odd that the only subject I did revision in was the one that I got the lowest grade for... and I did a LOT of revision for that.

So this year I probably won't do much again. I don't really need to revise for maths, I've done my ICT exam and so there's only history and physics left... I've done a bit of revision throughout the year but I'm not going to cram last minute.

[MotorStefan95]

I've got 6 exams this year. I am lucky that I only had to repeat one unlike my friends who didn't revise and are doing 11 exams. What I do is revise for an hour then take a 10 minute break. If the weather is good I go out my back garden with a glass of ice cold Coke. It seems to work for me anyway.

[dirrty]

i only revise 2 days before each exam. i don't bother revising weeks before an exam because i just forget, so i have to do it close to the exam date. i also can't revise at home so i usually go to the uni library with people on my course and stay there from midday until late.

[shiver]

i have 7 exams at uni this summer, it's AWFUL

i just can't revise at home tho lol so i'm going back to uni early and gonna get a tonne done (I SAY WITH THE GREATEST HOPE). that said i've done quite a bit of my french book so i'm happy, it's taken me bloody ages

[MrViaticus]

Hmm revision was great when I was at school, I refused to do any saying that it made me fall asleep. Which it did, because most of the time it's just boring reading of books.

So the school took it upon themselves to exclude me two weeks before my exams and said that it wasn't a holiday camp. Not that I was bothered I went to work :)

[Rhw]

I don't really have a strict timetable to follow. GCSEs I feel tend to require little to no revision for many, whereas, for A Levels I think it's impossible to not revise. I tend to focus on one subject a day and then briefly read over other subjects and then vice versa the next day.

[Catchetat]

depends... I usually spend more time on websites to revise...
