hey this is amazing thank you so much!! i was wondering how you’d plan long term revision as i can never seem to plan realistically eg covering all your content 3 weeks before mocks so you can start doing practice papers as quickly as possible
I'm so glad this helped and yes a realistic long-term revision planning is good to create, here... 1. **Work Backwards from Your Mock Date:** Start by marking your mock exam date on a calendar. Dedicate the last 2-3 weeks before mocks to pure practice-doing past papers, timed questions, and refining exam technique. 2. **Divide Content into Manageable Sections:** Break your subjects into topics/modules and estimate how long you’ll need to cover each one. While you’re revising content, include practice questions for that specific topic to reinforce what you’ve learned. Dot pure practice papers throughout your plan for earlier exposure, but focus heavily on them in the final weeks. 3. **Set Weekly Goals:** Focus on 2-3 subjects per day, but rotate topics weekly to stay fresh. For example, Week 1 could cover foundational topics, while Week 2 builds on them with harder concepts. 4. **Mix Active and Passive Revision:** Use active methods like doing questions, teaching someone else, or summarising notes alongside passive methods like reading or watching videos (like this one!). Active revision helps lock in knowledge faster. 5. **Allow for Flexibility:** Life happens! Leave buffer days to catch up on anything you missed. 6. **Track Progress:** Tick off completed topics and reflect weekly. This helps you stay motivated and spot any weak areas early on. 7. **Practice Early Where Possible:** Even while learning, try practice questions to familiarise yourself with exam-style problems-it’s a great way to reinforce knowledge. The key is starting early and building consistency. It’s okay if things aren’t perfect; just aim for steady progress! God bless you xx
hey lovely, i am glad you found it helpful! It honestly honestly depends on the person and their schedule so its difficult to give you a SET number of hours for each subject but i’d say if you’re using a study timer app like study break you can track session’s or use notion to plan the TIMES in your day when you do have time to study so for example: 7:30 - 8:30 (before the school day) LESSONS 10:00 - 11:45 (study period in school) LESSONS 3:45 - 6:45 (after school) = 4hr 45m for example… then after having your slots you would just place the tasks you need to do in order of priority into the time slots, so some days you might have to do psychology for 2 hours, biology for 1 and only 30 minutes of sociology. other days you can have equal time for them all, dyu see what i mean ? PRIORITISE (don’t just do things you’re good at) So yeah! just have a actionable topic list within each subject and also have the daily times you WANT to revise… then slot the tasks on the list into times you have available. I also recommend maybe giving yourself a threshold/ goal you want to reach daily like, “must do 50 new anki flashcards everyday or must spend 2 hours on just math exam questions “! Just some sort of goal for 3 months in the middle my goal was to revise for 6 solid hours minimum. I hope that answers your questions! If you’re looking for a more specific answer AT LEAST 1-2 hours everyday of effective revision should be fine! Thank you again for commenting and im glad i could help you. 🎀
When is the best time to start practice papers because i haven’t finished content yet and i struggle when I don’t know content to do questions as i am just blank . I am currently in year 13 😢 my teachers have said by February we will be done with content so it will give me 2 months to just do practice papers . Any advice?
Hey! It's totally normal to feel unsure about doing practice papers before you've finished the content. Since you're still working through some material, I’d recommend waiting until you’re more comfortable with the key concepts. But don’t worry-here’s a strategy you can follow: 1. **Finish the Content First**: Aim to have a solid understanding of the material before diving into practice papers. Focus on mastering one topic at a time. Once you feel comfortable with a few key areas, try doing a few practice questions related to that topic. 2. **Gradual Practice**: You don’t have to wait until February to start practicing! Try doing shorter question sets after learning a specific topic. Even just a few questions will help reinforce your understanding and pinpoint areas that need more attention. 3. **Mock Exams & Timed Papers**: Once you finish content by February, you can start doing full-length practice papers under exam conditions. These will be crucial to help you get used to the timing, pressure, and exam environment. 4. **Review Mistakes**: Don’t stress if you struggle at first-practice papers are not just for testing, but for learning. Review every mistake and make sure you understand why the correct answer is what it is. In the meantime, focus on mastering your content as best you can, and use practice papers more as a tool for review and refining your understanding rather than a test of knowledge right now. You’ve got this! Keep going, and you’ll be well prepared by the time February comes! 😊 LMK IF YOU NEED MORE HELP XX

currently in y13 and found this video so motivational. My question is how many hours do you recommend daily per subject for revision?.
hey lovely, i am glad you found it helpful!
It honestly honestly depends on the person and their schedule so its difficult to give you a SET number of hours for each subject but i’d say if you’re using a study timer app like study break you can track session’s
or use notion to plan the TIMES in your day when you do have time to study so for example:
7:30 - 8:30 (before the school day)
LESSONS
10:00 - 11:45 (study period in school)
LESSONS
3:45 - 6:45 (after school)
= 4hr 45m
for example…
then after having your slots you would just place the tasks you need to do in order of priority into the time slots, so some days you might have to do psychology for 2 hours, biology for 1 and only 30 minutes of sociology. other days you can have equal time for them all, dyu see what i mean ? PRIORITISE (don’t just do things you’re good at)
