Released to coincide with the first ever National Revision Week, the findings show that around 65 per cent of students think that they should start revision at least seven weeks before exam time.
However, in reality only 27 per cent actually do. Instead, 33 per cent start five to six weeks before, 21 per cent three to four weeks before, and 12 per cent one to two weeks before. Seven per cent of respondents in the poll of more than 500 GCSE and A level students said they started with less than a week to go.
National Revision Week began on Monday (April 20) and is being hosted by the mental health charity YoungMinds in conjunction with free exam preparation app Gojimo.
