first off, i don't recommend revising throughout the night. it's tiring and you don't absorb as well as you're revising through the day. if you really must, i suggest you invest in an espresso maker.
as for your fear of thinking that you haven't revise enuf, it's probably because you feel you may have forgotten what you had covered. don't worry, i get those feelings too. it'd be advisable if you flip back thru the topics you've read and reread them.
HTH.
p.s. sleep alot, it helps. -

I think your main problem is, you don't know how to manage time between sgforums and your revision. -
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Know when to play and study. Take breaks if necessary. If you can't take in any more information, rest.
After resting, test yourself. Start with the practice questions in the textbook. If you can't do any part, go back to that part and revise and try again. Rest again if you can't take it any more.
You also need sufficient sleep. 6 hours at the least. Maximum 14 hours, if not you will feel more tired. -

You can try reshuffling your studying schedule, maybe there are time slots which could be most efficent.Originally posted by 0lala:i'm on sgforum most in the day

Trial and err. -
You are torturing your body, no wonder you feel vexed.Originally posted by 0lala:I also wish to take a break but nt too awake bcuz of 3 black coffee with jzu haf cup of water...

While coffee keeps you awake, you need enough water as well.
From this post, it looks like you don't have a good management of your time.
Plan everything properly. Set a time to do the leisure stuff, like going to Bugis to collect things for today.
Know what you want to study for the day, prepare the necessary things. For example, today, you want to study humanities. Pack your humanities textbook, foolscap paper, stationery and TYS in your bag first before going to Bugis get stuffs. -
slot full le...morning and afternoon is light studies like science...evening onwards is heavy duty deOriginally posted by M©+square:You can try reshuffling your studying schedule, maybe there are time slots which could be most efficent.

but thing is i've to finish revising sec 3 and 4 maths as well as social studies with in 2 mnths...
and althho i've revised well for phyisc and chem and geo is constant,i keep feeling worried and keep revising...hence loss of time -
l think that study constantly and slowly from the start is the best and sure way to pass ur examinations...
Learn to play hard as well as study hard... u are tking ur o lvls rite?
Last time, l used to be like this de...l manage my life into 2 parts, play and study...cuz l dun wan go school mah...very tired and sian of the lessons, so l skip school....go out play and hav fun till late afternoon go home, rest le and l study to the night..
And also with help of private tutors, l managed it -
jot down wad u plan to do for the whole day, like to finish study wad subject by lunch time, and just carry on with ur plan. try to pack ur schedule with as much thing as possible (resonable much la) and if u feel tired in btw, can go surf net or read the news
-
secondary school or JC?
either u fully know everything and feel confident or u skip chapters and strategise for lower marks.
to try and know everything but end up unsure is very very bad exam tactic. -
den u might as well dun study at the times u are likely to fall asleep!Originally posted by 0lala:I find it have to slp at times wtih my mind bugging on the revesion...

have a long good night sleep, wake up and pia better right? -
er sleep in the afternoon...than wake up at night study...

Just switch off the bloody pc/lappie.
With you off SGF, then everyone'll be happier.
And, and, and, you can revise PROPERLY, not revise whilst you drift into dreamland.
I see no point in SGF-ing when your O's are approaching(again).
Like when you apply to an ITE, they will look at your SGF account(which is horrible, btw).
And your eyesight might improve.

it might work differently for ppl. only u will noe which method is best for urself. -
Mug at Macs, if you feel that you're losing concentrate just go buy something to eat. Well, thats my method, don't know whether it works for you

be disciplined and take control of ur mind. noe when to start mugging session, pause and stop.Originally posted by 0lala:I find it have to slp at times wtih my mind bugging on the revesion...

just make sure u can pass the necessary agenda for the day, but not be over intolerant if u cant do it for the first few days.
use a topic u like to give u momentum, then move on to less interesting topics. have confidence, the initial part may seem torturous, but the light at the end of the tunnel will come and u'll find it getting easier and easier.
have regular break sessions. a healthy plan is 3 hours work, 2 hours rest+meal. i used to go by 9am to 12pm, 2pm to 5pm, 7pm to 10pm. in between the 2 hours break if for meals and consolidate. it also strengthens ur stamina cos u find urself having to keep recalling and getting into the mood after each 2 hours break, and once u can overcome it, u'll realise u can write out answers and stuff and noe the logic behind it, anytime u wan it.
for night muggers, i dun recommend too much coffee or wat, not more than a cup a night, and not everyday. if u're a born nite owl, u dun even need coffee! if u need coffee, i'll rather u start in the day. energy drinks like these spoil ur body faster and give u one more reason to blame on when u perform below expectations, instead of looking at wat ur mind & body can offer.
if u're ready for more stamina, u can try mugging in more noisy environments. then one less excuse and more choices when it comes to mugging. but time is running out.......
still, some of the above may not apply to u cos everyone is different and thru trial and error u can find ur optimum time and environment.
