    Just wondering what your routines will be.. I'll probably come home and relax from about 4-5 then cram from about 5-10, in bed at 10, asleep by 10.30 up at six. Study from 6-8 and then head off to school at about 8.30.

    How about yous?

    I really wouldn't reccomend that. I'd reccomend 3 hours in the evening, and none in the morning.

    Studying can be counter productive, you know. Studying one subject for 1 hour will be more beneficial than 10 subjecs in 5 hours.

    Its the weekend now, I would reccomend 2 hours in the morning (10-11) three hours in the afternoon (2-5) and one hour around 8. Make sure to keep going back over the stuff you studied or else you will forget.

    And if you haven't started studying yet, don't think that 5 days of endless cramming will get you A's, unfortunately.

    I found it really hard to study between exams when I did it. Tbh, if I did anything I glanced at the book while doing other things for about 30 minutes or so. Oh, and the weekend before Maths Paper 2 I worked on perfecting my constructions for a couple of hours (woeful at drawing, no construction even came up, meh). That's just me though, I was an awful, lazy mess after two days of the week we got off before the exams, I think I was sick of studying stuff that I already knew (I have a ridiculously good long-term memory). Dunno why I'm sharing anecdotes, I am too tired for this...

    Errr yes, question. Good nights sleep every time in my book. Especially for exams like English and History - both are quite demanding on your hand and a burst of fatigue (trust me, it will come at some point in English Paper 2) can be difficult to overcome if you haven't gotten enough sleep. You need a fresh mind for maths as well, definitely. Got about four hours sleep before Paper 2 (I can never sleep on Sunday nights, silly me should've cut out the sleep in that week) and really felt it. So yes, especially in the case of those, get your eight hours!

    If you do something foolish like staying up all night to study for an exam in the morning, just remember it will be the following day that the tiredness will hit you.

    Sleep properly and sleep enough, eat properly and eat enough but overall, relax. No-one thinks straight when under stress.

    Tbh now, 10.30 - 6 is a fair bit of sleep, don't you think?
