Like L_K said, make up a schedule. Keep working, but make sure that you have adequate time to study and compete assignments/homework etc. If you find that you aren't having enough time for schoolwork, it might be necessary to cut back on the hours that you work.

i suggest u quit...itz really effect ur mark..trust me...

yr12 is a crucial...u may either negotiate wif ur parents 2 hav a pay rise in ur pocket money(as wat i did)...or u may try 2 minimise ur expenses..

i would suggest that u dont quit completely, just work less hours. u need to do something other than study, and mindless busy work is a good break from study, and u get payed for it.

if you dont work at all, you will just spend more time procrastinating, the busier you are, the better u manage your time.

it really depends on you, if your marks are strong no matter what, the job wont affect you, just work about 2 days a week
