for the GCSE people, when are you starting to revise? I've got my mocks in Feb and I still haven't started revising for those, so I'd like to know I'm not the only one who's unmotivated and lazy

Really depends how good you are with learning stuff. It's never about how long you revise for, but about how much you learn. If you can do it all in a week then don't suffer and revise wen you could be havin fun............ Just make sure you actually do some work!

Tomorrow, I hope to open said folders.
I have my exams next week too (as you well know) but noone seems to have revised. I don't even think it's the "I say I haven't done revision when really I have" bug, people here seem to be genuinely too lazy to revise...I wonder how most of them passed their A-levels.
I have a good excuse, I'm ill.
But i have exams everyday next week so its gkicked my ass into gear to get revising. today.
But yeah, a few days per subject or you'll end up missing out on the fun, and start hating your subjects so much that you wont be able to open your folders when you actually *need* to (ie, the morning of the exam, not that im teaching bad habits or anything...)

P.S. Sorry to all the English students out there, you were the forst people I could think of.
I have an Italian exam on Weds and I can't even find the textbook I need for it...
To be fair two of my modules i've already got quite a few marks in terms of coursework, and the other one is basically an A-Level paper. And very rarely do i get under 40% in an exam (don't mention AS economics! *cough* 16% *cough*). So I'm not too worried. Touch wood. (One of my papers is 400 true/false questions anyway!)
Now starting for tomorrows exam. But its only physics, so who cares, right? :nervous:
LMAO! I really wished i could have done that module, but then again learning the elements wouldn't have been that great for me.
What did you put for the black lump? Tourmaline? Epidote? Hematite?
got my chem 2moro and physics day after (i do triple science) so im only in half days for these first few days. I started to revise a couple of weeks ago, but only properly revised, erm.......last nite!
i was ment to have my mocks before xmas but i was off so i been doing some thing week or last week,
well i don't revise much and i been doing well in exams just revise when you feel you need to.
the mocks are important but arnt as bad as your finals. make sure you revice several months in advance and don't waste all the study leave you get
hmm?
don't just revise when you feel you need to, it might just be over confidence

Reall happy cos analysis 1 went reeeeeeaaalllllllll good
Well done. sounds like you did well.
I agree with bopperz thinking about it, everyone is different- some people can just look at a page of notes and then know it, where as others may take hours to learn that much. It also varies with subject.
I'd say when it was suggested to revise when you though you needed to, make that revise what you think you need to *more* but dont just leave the rest. Everyone has a general idea what aspects they're weakest at, but that doesnt mean that you wont gain anything by going through the rest aswell.
