    ye i heard of alot of people who studied in 5th yr too and they didnt really do all that great, and didnt do better than those who sttarted in 6th.
    i think it really all depends on what points ur looking to get, and being realistic with yourself. if u need 300 points, chances are that u arent going to have to study that much to achieve that. but if you are going for the high 500s then u will porb need to start a bit earlier ye.
    but i dont think comparing it to other people helps either, i think the way people take in information differs greatly and some people can cram and perform amazingly. i on the other hand realised i was not one of those people and realised that i would have to look over the info many times and practice a whole bunch of past papers to do well.
    so from here on out u need to look at what you are aiming for, how much u want it, and where u are right now (xmas results a good indicator). and study accordingly.

    and it doesnt matter when u started and believe me it is not too late that is bullshiiiiit, you have plenty of time. Also there is a difference between studying LONG and studying SMART
