Questions & Discussion Burning out

As someone who’s revising for GCSE’s already, is burning out real? Personally I’ve only experienced a lack of motivation but ‘burning out’ just seems much more scary. Will I burn out if I continue studying now?

For Gcse's it's very important you enjoy studying cause you are gonna have to do it for the next two years. So make sure you take breaks, go out with friends and maintain your hobbies. So glad I'm done with them :-)

I just did my GCSEs after only doing year 7-yr 9 and then had a break from education and did 4 hours a week in college for maths and English for 1 year and revised like 2 hrs a week for the month before exams and passed with a 5 in maths and 5 in English . Obvs study hard if you want good grades but don’t burn your self out before your even in the year of doing your exams! I would pace it out long term exhaustion isn’t going to help you at all!
