Revision
Hi All
Can anyone tell me how much revision we should be doing per night now ? We have the Bucks exam in a month and are doing approx 2 papers per night ! (As set by our tutors) but already we are finding marks slipping towards the end of this week we started at 92% and are now at 42% and not even able to finish the 2nd paper
We are pulling are hair out....
hellpppp!!!!!!!!! We feel this is too much.

Hi
If students are completing two papers per day of the 80 questions 50 minute type I don´t think that there are enough papers in the whole 11+ publishing market to be able to do this without repeating a paper.
For Bucks there are only a small number of publishers who write 80 questions, 21 question type, 50 minute papers.
Regards
Mike

Hi Patricia
We are using a Slough tutor and the papers are given to us in a booklet. We started the week with a couple of 20 questions refreshers and towards the end of the week were doing 2 80 question papers, familiarisation and then proper tests. My son has gone to classes this morning so I will post later what his homework is for this week...
Thanks for all your comments. My son is very upset at the moment and doesn't want to do anything....The most frustrating thing is he can do it but has no incentive. (yes we have tried bribary and threats!).

I agree with above. Use the tutor in your own way,you're paying, take from it what you like.We are also using that particular tutor group,dd likes the tests though and is happy to do them but all that homework over the summer holidays we didn't bother overly much about and she had probably done about half of it by the time we went back.I wasn't ruining everyones holidays for her homework.Its funny,but the nearer we come to the tests the more relaxed I'm getting about it!
