any point to studying hard in year11? (2 Viewers)

[jaeyun]

the texts will be different, as will the modules when we reach year 12

this journeys stuff in our year 11 AOS - will this have any relevance to our year 12 Belonging AOS?

whats the point in trying hard in year 11-specific content?

There isn't really. Except in mathematics where you can be tested on preliminary topics and maybe in English where you should try and improve essay writing/ analyzing skills.

I would try hard as a sort of practise for the HSC, you don't want to be starting year 12 and have a crazy workload your not use to.
As one of my teachers said "The prelim year is to give you 3 terms to work shit out"

 

[Memi]

I always thought that 30% of the Preliminary work could be tested during the HSC, so don't you need to study since the work is arbitrarily chosen? I dunno, thats what I've been told so feel free to correct.

 

[supercalamari]

There is definitely a point.
Developing good study habits is very important, as is practicing the way you approach the HSC.

 

[iRuler]

No point.

 

[mirakon]

Yes there is a point because it preps you for the shitload of studying you should be doing in Year 12. You have to study hard in less than a year so might as well get used to it now.

 

[iRuler]

I doubt you'll say that once ur in yr 12...

 

[ilikebeeef]

You won't be used to it. Year 12 is a lot more work than Year 11 particularly if you do sciences/maths.

 

[mirakon]

I doubt you'll say that once ur in yr 12...

considering i'm accelerated in 4 unit, i can say it's a fact to study incessantly is necessary. I can speak because i didn't study well when i was doing prelim and nearly missed out on even being allowed to do 4 unit.

alrite...

 

[Johanist]

just study but don't overdo it

 

[ilikebeeef]

Yeah people planning to do 4-unit for Year 12 should work at least moderately hard in Prelims maths.

 

[Klutsov]

Yes and no...

Yes: it prepares you and may give you vital skills for the next year, some course work is useful for yr 12

No: Marks obtained don't count towards anything, courses are duller than HSC, dont want to burn out

 

[showy]

What subjects do you do?

 

[dan2452]

"Burning out" makes no sense. If you study subjects you enjoy, you aren't going to suddenly 'die' because you're studying.

 

[iRuler]

^

Lol you might realise what it is when you "burn out".

Hint: Its when you try and study but just cbb and give the book a blank stare for a long time, can last for 1 day to many days.

Jus' pick up good study skillz, learning how to do study notes which fit ur style etc etc.. Its what yr11'z mainly for and of course learn all da foundation, which u gona build upon in y12.

No point in sitting around and not doin much... so when u come to yr12 u b ready for the work load and would know how to study etc...

Talkin from experience.. i was lazy in yr11.. luckily i managed to pick up dem study skillz.

GL, buddy

 

[kcqn93]

if you're doing maths, it would be good to study. or just do your maths hw lol

You won't be used to it. Year 12 is a lot more work than Year 11 particularly if you do sciences/maths.
