March Exams

So, we just had our last mock exams before the end of the actual exams and goodness me, that was stressful. We had the Sports break the week before, which meant I could revise but I still felt like I didn't have enough time.
The problem with me and exams is that I stress too much and it ends up with me putting off work until I do a million things in a frenzy. I don't like this. I''m trying to change it. But it's hard. I even made a schedule so I could clearly see what I should be doing at different times, with lots of breaks so I don't lose focus, etc. My plan was to wake up at 08:30 every morning and work as if I was still in school. That didn't happen. Every day, I would put on my alarm and then snooze for up to another two hours. Then I'd get up and eat breakfast for another hour (when I have time, I will take it) and then suddenly it would be nearing 12.
Also, on the days my aunt was around, she wanted to look online for apartments. This would also take another hour or two and we even went on some showings, which could take up to three ours. That meant I was free to study at 3pm. Once I started studying, I found it difficult to continue after 6pm due to my need for food and lack of being an evening person.
Therefore, I only really ended up doing 3-4 hours work each day. However, I still managed to do pretty well in my exams, I can see afterwards, so I know that if I put in a little more time and continue to do so, I have a chance of doing decently well.

The crazy part is, we only have like 6 or so weeks left until exams. NOT ENOUGH!
