I have to admit, the one question which I simply cannot stand receiving as a study blogger is the classic "How many hours should I be revising?" or anything along that train of thought. See, this is one of the main issues I have with the community as it stands; seeing as it's a little difficult to evaluate your work by how much you have been able to achieve and retain at a later date, we just tend to resort to hours as some sort of reliable measurement for productivity and, thus, success. The problem with this, though, is that one person could get the same amount of work done in 4 hours as another might in 8 - and no, it's not a question of natural ability, it's to do with how focused and efficient you've been. This was my greatest mistake at GCSE: it was almost as if I was on house arrest by my own accord, chained to my books, and quite frankly... I did nothing but make myself miserable - all the while not even retaining half of the information I was supposedly learning! Most of us have been here, at least in the latter scenario, but today I'm hoping to share some of my A-Level wisdom as to how you can get the most of your study sessions by doing more in less time - all the while retaining what you learn so that you have time to do the things that you enjoy. Gosh, that was a long introduction - but I hope you enjoy this post, and let me know your thoughts in the comments section below!
