How Many Hours of Revision Do You Really Need?
A commonly misunderstood topic for many students...

A very common question we get from our students at Spark Tutoring is:
How many hours of revision do I REALLY need?
At Spark, we’ve got a revision structure that we recommend to our students to ensure the optimal level of preparation before exams...
Here’s what we recommend:
1 ✅ A structured revision timetable over 8-12 weeks
This is generally sufficient time to recap & review ALL topics and enable remaining time to complete multiple practice papers per subject.
2 ✅ 6 days of revision & 1 rest day per week
This is the ideal blend of consistency, while also enabling a day to recharge (generally Friday or Saturday).
3 ✅ 3 x 45-minute revision sessions a day
45-minute sprints are the optimised time windows to execute with short breaks in between.
It’s not just about how many hours you spend revising. It’s about how you use that time. A clear plan makes all the difference.
