Hey! If you have an entire week off, and then all of your exams in quick succession, I would probably be studying for all of your exams. Focus on your more difficult exams, and the exam that is first, a tiny bit more than you other subjects, but honestly I would spend about equal time on all of them.

I also had a full week between English and my next exams. I chose to do something like this.

For the first day, I just ignored the one right after and instead tended towards those at the end. This was to ensure that when the time came for those I'd still have enough knowledge stored for use later.

Then gradually over the next two days I shifted to the more recent ones for obvious reasons. That way I could do what's rational, but also remain consistent with my pattern of study

Hey hey!! In my opinion, it is best to study in order, so you should start studying for Ancient first (if you haven't already). Put focus on the exams that will be first immediately, then slowly introduce your other subjects while still working on Ancient.

By Friday/Saturday before Ancient, you should be working on everything except VA. Then do Ancient on Sunday, Entertainment on Monday night after your exam, then do Religion on Wednesday and Society and Culture on Thursday night. All of those are last minute revision things, you should have worked on them all already over the next 7 days! ;D

Then you have a whole four days to study for VA, studying for that now would not be efficient use of time in my opinion :) as you can see, everyone is slightly different, work with what is good for you! :)

Thank you all so much for your help! I'm going to start in order as Ancient is for me, the most diffcult and see If i can incorporate the later exams into the breaks inbetween ancient. That way im taking on all your advice here!

Yep, I would also agree to do it in order from first to last.
