ur hours on ypt motivate me like crazy btw, like i wouldn't study most days if it weren't for u lol so ty

Real same

Todays Goals
- Finish Business Studies Notes
- Finish Physics Notes

Day 3 of doing this till i die due to the AI uprising of 2026

Physics - Actually finished the entire syllabus and went through some HSC questions (~2.5hrs)
English - Actually started on Mod A and immediately trying to wrap my head around Kantian metaphysics for sm reason (~1hr)
Math - Another Day, another ME1 trial paper (HG 2020) this time got 67/70 (there were many proof questions) and did some 3D vectors cus those are kind of fun (~3 hrs)

I probably should've stayed home cus it wasn't that hot this time. Also, why does the library wifi block THSC???????? that makes no sense. they also block khan academy. i think the library is allergic to education
PS: someone in my school's ypt did 8:41 wtf thats almost my study time record

Heyy, I just wanted to ask that since you already finished the entire syllabus for chem and physics, do you have any tips on how to study for them.

Heyy, I just wanted to ask that since you already finished the entire syllabus for chem and physics, do you have any tips on how to study for them.

Literally what I did was go through a textbook, writing down notes and doing some questions and thats it but...

Chem:
Mod 5 - Focus on calculation questions for equilibrium expressions and recall the factors that affect equilbrium i.e:

• Determine and explain equilibria changes using LCP and collision theory (and graph them include reaction rate graphs)
• Use reaction quotients to justify shifts in equilbria (also in solubility)

Mod 6 - I would focus on the calculation questions regarding pH and titration. This depends on how well you are doing for mod 5 (the equilibrium expression part). You may also need to explain titration graphs.

Mod 7 - Memorise all of the explanations as long you are good with mod 1 (there's a lot of memorising). A good way to retain is to just do questions. NESA for some reason hasn't tested polymers up until the last two years.

Mod 8 - I think just doing questions can get you most of the way here. The last two modules just feel a bit more memorise-heavy to me

Phys:
Mod 5 - Hone in on projectiles as there will be questions that uses projectiles inconjuction with other modules. Also hone your understanding on aspects of dynamics (i.e centripetal force is the net force. etc) and use the work-energy theorem if needed.
I have been told that NESA is most likely not doing changing orbits as they got a question wrong in the 2023 HSC.

Mod 6 - Most of it (in my opinion) comes down to if you are comfortable with Faraday's law, Lenz's law of induction and Lorentz force law. Everything else in this module comes from this

Mod 7-8 - Memorise....... No but seriously, the last two modules here feel more like a history lesson rather than actually doing physics. Not saying there's no calculation questions but, there will be more memorisation needed as most of the explanation question in the HSC come from mod 7-8

Note: this comes from a guy who skimmed through this and i'm currently going through it again to consolidate this information so take some of these opinions with a grain of salt. Also this took me way too long to write down.

How much depth did you go through for these? Like how much of the module, and how long did it take? Just curious as i'm looking at getting ahead as well.

I believe you can do it about a month but being HSC-ready will probably take another month.

I was on and off for Chem. I started in August and finished in October (in retrospect, I probably should've studied for music 2)

Whole syllabus? Wow, thats impressive- like would you say an hour a day or so would work?

I have absolutely no idea. I usually average around 2-3 hrs a day on a subject and i can go through one module in around a week or less. It really depends on how you learn. For me, its literally going to a textbook, write down notes (on a doc) and do an unholy amount of googling.

Okay! Thank you so much!

[Study to success]

U guys are really inspiring me to lock in. Keep it up!!
