4-5 is plenty mate. And as you have stated you have been thoroughly revising throughout the year, so you'll be highly prepared.

no what you're doing now is perfect as you don't need to waste time finishing your notes, so you're doing pure study just revising and practicing

dont worry ur not up urself some people are just naturally smarter/ better at answering questions than others for example a guy in my grade dosnt do all that much and still tops everything last year the dux didnt do anything the whole year its annoying but its life there will always be people that no matter how much work you do will beat you unless you literally the best at something i guess so yeh when it comes down to it you know your own abilites and you know how much you need to do to achieve what you want to achieve whether its half an hour or eight hours

I try to do 8 but always end up with 6-7 hrs (because the final hour, I just cbf).


In my opinion, 4-5hrs is a good time considering that you are full focused in that period.


It's good that you've finished your notes early, I know many people in my school who still haven't made notes on Space (our first topic for physics)...


Keep smashing past papers until you know the whole syllabus off by heart.

6 hours of study a day? You are so going to burn out.

Seriously. Don't do so much, just do enough so that you know the content. No need to go overboard.

I do 7-8 hrs and play games on my free time.


Surprisingly, I want to study that much. hahaha

I get 4-6 hours but thats only because I go to the library. I can't study at home. Too much distractions. But I don't think I'm doing enough for some reason :|
