Is 6 hours of revision a day enough?
You should aim to revise for one to two hours a day, but it doesn’t have to be all in one go. In fact, taking breaks whilst revising is much more beneficial than just doing it all in one go. You give your brain a chance to rest, which is crucial to the success of your revision – and eventually exams.
How long should Revision breaks be?
If you’ve been revising for less than 20 minutes your break should be 2 minutes or less. 20-30 minutes – 5 minutes break. 30-60 minutes – 5-10 minutes. If you’ve done a total of 3 or more hours of revision in one day you can award yourself a 45-60 minute break.
How much revision should I do a day for GCSE?
Instead aim for 30-45 minute sessions with short breaks in between and ideally no more than 4 hours of study per day. This way you’ll have more productive bursts of revision, rather than trying to cram multiple subjects for hours on end.
