do you think to revise 
I have my 3 hour exam a week today and i cant revise by just reading notes and the book, so how do you normally revise?

Get away from your PC in a quite room.
And copy out your books into notes.

This is my revision plan for the day....
9 0am - Wake up nice and early to start revision, hit the snooze button on my alarm
10pm - Wake up again, make a sandwich, have a drink and a bit of CS
1:45pm - Watch Neighbours
2:10pm - Drive to uni to get books out of the library that i don't need and will never use but will make me feel better and accumulate a hefty overdue fine.
3:30pm - Come back, browse CS
50pm - Get some paper and a pen, realise my room could do with a tidy. Tidy, hoover and polish room
60pm - Start to cook dinner, put super noodles in microwave. Do all the washing up, tidy kitchen.
6:45pm - Eat dinner
7:30pm - Coronation street
80pm - The Bill
90pm - Down the pub to relax after a hard days revision

i make little mind maps, and cards, then read them over and over!
You should really know most it, just remember the major points as the smaller ones come back to you when you remember the major points if you get me!!

How true is this 
The best bit is doing something remotley related to studying, like getting books out, always makes me feel better

Get off CS for a start.
Read a page of notes and cover them up, then see what you can write down from what you've just read.
Don't cheat - the information must go notes-eyes-brain-arm-pen and not just notes-eyes-arm-pen, you must recollect and not simply transcribe.
If you're not focussed, study with somene who is, and I don't mean a classmate with exams in the same period, they will be more worried about their own progress than yours.
Darlington has mentors who may do this for you, phone number is 503038.

Nothing to be proud of tbh. School exams are a joke.
If you go to a decent uni though, as you said, it doesn't quite work that way anymore.

I was just saying school exams are nothing compared to uni ones.
Not sure on the English education system but you can do A-levels at school afaik.
So as far as i'm concerned they would be school exams, although that wasn't my original point.
