How much revision should I do for GCSEs each day?

Question

I have four GCSEs this year, they're really close together and the first ones near the end of May. How much revision should I do each day? And should I only revise one subject per day?
Any help will much appreciated! :)

Answer 1

I revise 2 subjects every day, each for 1 hour. So 2 hours altogether :(

I made a timetable, so I know which subjects I should be doing. But I do more chemistry and geography than biology, RE and physics because I have more work to learn in those.

So anyway, I think 2 hours a day is a good amount. Any less than that won't be enough. And do 2 subjects every day.

I dont know what GCSEs your doing, but I will make a timetable as an example (by the way, I expect best answer). Do each subject for 1 hour :

Monday - Health and Social + Physics

Tuseday - Biology + Chemistry

Wednesday - Chemistry + Physics

Thursday - Health and Social + Biology

Friday - Physics and Biology

Saturday - Health and Social + Chemistry

Sunday - Do any subject you think you need to revise more on. At least 2 hours.

Now give me best answer please :D

Answer 2

I also have many GCSEs in May-Summer. I don't revise untill the last minute personally cus' that's just the way I am but I know the best thing to do (as i've been told but i never do :L). Firstly try making a timetable/setting yourself a target, such as: 1 hour of revision per day/ until the exam except on weekends. You can be flexible with it depending on your own schedule because you might have things planned or sports etc. Also i would do a different subject every day because you don't want to bombard your mind with loads of mixed up things, this will enable it to sink in more :).

It's totally upon you. It depends how many subjects you have and how many days left. YOu should start with the hardest subject then get down to the easiest. TAKE YOUR TIME going through the hardest subjects then the remaining one can be given to the easiest subjects. You should start typing down stuff (making short notes on each lecture) either on computer or hand write them and if you do handwrite them, highlight the important bits so that you can easily go over it after just a week before the exam or so..
