Revision Madness

My first exam (German Speaking, which was the one I was dreading the most) is out of the way now, and it's time to knuckle down to the general revision, which had been put on hold whilst I attempted to shove as many useful phrases as possible into my head. As usual, at school there  is the usual mixture of those who haven't even thought about opening a textbook yet (This number seems to be getting less, as people (myself included after the exams in January) realise that whereas they may have been able to get an A at GCSE with just natural ability and a little luck, the same doesn't happen at A level) and the few who have been revising 6 hours a night since mid February, and are now starting to get seriously ill from stress and sleep deprivation.  Of course, the majority of people are muddling along like me- the revision is started, but nowhere near as advanced as it probably should be, when I remember that my next batch of exams start in NINE DAYS. To be honest, the advice we get from the school on revision isn't much help either- the most important thing, according to one teacher, is just to visualise yourself getting all As, and it will happen...thanks for that.
