Left the laptop away and set myself a target. Once I hit the target I was allowed a break for a while. Tough but now I can chill for the night

How are you (and everyone reading this) able to fit in study midweek evenings? I just about finish the bare minimum for homework. And with grinds and an extra subject, all I want to do after homework is sleep!?

Prodigious

I'm lucky enough in that I don't get an awful lot of homework. If I was you, I'd review the homework you get and see if it benefits you enough to justify the time it takes. If not, don't do it.

TO be honest there's not much that can be done for maths, only practice. I'd advise getting one or two grinds for the topics you're stuck on, and then just keep re doing exam papers. Good luck!
