    I'm finding my subjects really difficult (In Yr 11)

    I think you're rote learning maths; that is, you repeat the same methods without attaining a holistic understanding of the topic (this is important as exam questions aren't simply copied from the textbook). Rather than researching the conceptual explanation last, do that first to see how the...

    I'm finding my subjects really difficult (In Yr 11)

    I reckon you should keep your subjects for now - you're only a week and a day into year 11, chill man. You got time to make a decision on what to retain and drop (they let you change until week 4 this term I believe). For Maths just clarify things with your teacher if certain topics confuse and...

    I'm finding my subjects really difficult (In Yr 11)

    i think you need to be more helpful than that lol, shitty posts like these don't contribute to anything :p anyway OP, it would be nice to know what subjects you actually do and how you find them so we can determine which ones need more attention

    What does it mean to "Burn Out"?

    Efficient study>bullshit study (entails FB, YT and the like)

    Modern history vs Economics

    That's a really subjective question as it depends on the person in all honesty. However, I personally find them both content heavy - particularly as both requires thorough knowledge of the syllabus to perfection.

    Past half-yearly papers ?

    even then, doing trial papers is better than nothing you rarely find HY ones, it's quite hard to find them

    Amount of Study Everyone does

    forgot to mention: majority of the h/w you receive that requires completion is useless, BARRING MATHS

    Amount of Study Everyone does

    I call bullshit. If they are studying 6-9 each school day, then something is seriously wrong with them. "9 hours of good study is better than 5 or 6" - I have to disagree, by the time you reach 4-5 hours, you're probably tired and want to take a break. It's not about the quantity; moreso the...

    What's up with Western restaurants chains serving me halal meat??

    As much as I agree with you, OP is nothing more than a troll from what I've seen of his threads (enoilgam can testify to this). There's no point expending your energy in retaliation to be frank.

    Should you complete all the Maths homework questions?

    for those who say that MIF is a good t/b for maths, stop perpetuating utter bullshit. ofc if you're struggling (and i mean in the b1/2 range), then maybe you should use it. otherwise, cambridge and fitzpatrick are viable t/b's to utilise since it actually tests your intellect in maths lol

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    lmao, that's plenty of time just rote the content + plus doing practice Q's and you're sweet

    Your subject regrets

    might wanna post in the maths forum and make a thread there bro

    Your subject regrets

    as the title states, post your thoughts on what you regret picking and why, and then comment on what you would've done instead i'll start off: regret: music 1, kinda boring tbh should've done: physics, initially i didn't chose science for year 11 and 12, but i wonder what it'd be like had i...

    Some help needed for math

    You still need a degree of memorisation to drill the exercise Q's in, plus it's good for increasing your speed given the time constraints in the exam. Besides that, yes, understanding is fundamental to succeeding in maths.

    Atar Estimate plz (I know too early)

    i understand that it can be an annoying subject, but if you at least apply yourself for english with the right attitude, it'll help your atar a lot

    Atar Estimate plz (I know too early)

    like the others said, it's hard to tell this early on but definitely improve your english rank, srsly

    Workload (important question)

    And it really depends on the person - everyone will have subjects that will be heavy on workload. It's mostly English that people find demanding to be honest, since it's the only subject that counts towards your ATAR. Lots of students just rote and adapt essays to reduce the amount of time...

    How are you spending your Summer Holidays?

    How to Memorise an Essay - Guide

    Fair point about the risk of memorising essays for module B since the questions are generally brutal, but that doesn't take away from the fact that many students have succeeded in doing so with utilising (what's arguably) the most dominant study method for English. Since the rubric for mod B...
