id would love tips on how to get back into a study regime from current 5th/6th years and what to concentrate most on

how many hours of study to put in each night in 5th and 6th year, how many subjects should i study a night and how long will i study for? with or without breaks also

All I'll say is kick your arse at the start of 5th year, I found it nearly impossible to get back into studying/homework in 5th year because I done 4th year.

I did absolutely nothing in 4th year, don't worry about that as most people don't do the year at all. For 5th year just try and do about 2 and a half hours (including homework) every night and keep up with everything in class. As for 6th year.......

Aoifey!

Well I'm in 5th year and don't study really at all, but that's my own stupid choice. My career guidance teacher says to do 3 hours of homework and study a night, although I find that some nights if I do all my homework it can take up to 3 hours or more without study (but then again my accounting takes like an hour to 2 hours)
