    Hey guys!
    I was just wondering how much extra study you guys are doing. Are you sticking to teachers revision plans? And should I do one subject a night or small bits from each?

    How much studying am I doing? An absolute ****load, that's how much, buddy. Banged out 13 hours today.

    Here's the magical secret formula for LC success:
    A) Have no life and B) Have a crippling, all-consuming fear of failure

    As a jobless repeat student who doesn't go to school, I have both of those pre-requisites covered nicely ;)

    Part of me hopes this is tongue-in-cheek.

    Ok wow, can I just ask what time you start and how long do you go for before you have a break and what time do you finish at??

    Well today I woke up at 1:45 AM and I did maths for about 8 hours with a few 10 minute breaks. Then I took about an hour for a walking break. Went to the library and did 4 hours of maths and an hour of history. Finished at 6:30 p.m.

    I want to emphasize that this is in no way indicative of an average day for me. I'm a manic-depressive and my work rate is variable as f***. When it gets this close to exams I think it triggers a kind of hypomanic episode in me and I just wanna work constantly. I actually can't sleep right now which is rather worrying as I've been up for about 19 hours.

    Before you got up at 1.45, how much hours did you get of sleep. As too little sleep I find I can't work at all.

    Do you find that all the info is going in and that it is worthwhile??

    Usual day for me consists of: 9AM English class. 10Am-5PM studying in library. Hour at each subject. 5-10 spent working.

    I find that a lot of my teachers' revision plans are very wishy-washy. Like I wouldnt trust most of them to go into the exam in their own subjects in June and get an A. Maybe if you are in a very good school, it is different, I woudn't know! I think though it is better to have your own plan :)

    A lot of my teachers didn't even give us study plans, we just do whatever like. I find what's working for me is to write my own essays (if applicable to your subjects - a lot of my subjects require essays), and ask your teachers to correct them. So around now I'm just trying to do my hw every night and then work on exam papers and essays. Maybe this'll work for you? Do what you think will be most beneficial to you, nevermind us.
