I actually do most of those subjects so I think I can give you some construtive advice.

Considering that you go to school 6 hrs a day and that you have a life, I think that 4 - 6 hours per day is ok.

Economics - I find that this one of your most theoretical subjects, so its more about getting the content into ur head. I'd go for about an hour per day.

Physics - this is your hardest subject (assuming you judge the degree of difficulty like the general student population). You should really spend time reading the theory and practising questions. about 1.5 hours.

Chemistry - slightly easier, more about the practice as well. one hour

Maths - 1.5 hours. get some solid practice.

English - 1 hour is sufficient.

This is obviously going to change when the workload varies between each subject, and with upcoming assessments, but you can kinda see how the degree of difficulty and the amount of practice required determines the amount of time you spend on each subject.

Hope that helped.
Thanks for your help though i'm wondering if i should tend to the subjects which will be used in my uni enterance (the 2 maths and science.)

If I wasn't going to do commerce, I would have dropped economics and all i need for english is a pass (62.5% to pass at my school.)

HOWEVER, I get home at 5:15 after 2 hrs of study group at school (we just do random shit eg. last week was all practical chem) so after dinner and breaks i only have about 4-5 hours of homework and study time.

The thing I'm trying to do now is diffentiate between homework and study time, rather then just doing homework instead of study.

Gosh! havn't you people heard about its not how long you study, its how much you study. MUCH doesn't neccessarily refer to time.

Just study and write notes on everything you have studied for the day. And make a timetable that rotates each specific day for you to read through your summaries.

However, for subjects like Maths...its how much questions you are exposed to. So do all the homework given. And get as much tips and tricks as possible.

yeah it isnt how much time you spend but the quality of your study that matters.
Also our teachers are always going on about homework being separate from study, though for things like maths it is pretty much the same thing.
My school recommends around 3 hours a week per 2 unit of subject excluding homework but i dont think anyone i know does that much

What's particularly ironic about deleting myspace is that in about two weeks time you will realize that you want it back, and spend longer in recreating it than you saved by not having it.

i didnt delete it- but i gave my passwords to a trusted teacher to change.
I won't want it back, all i do is approve 100 friend requests post some trains and leave.

seriously though, everyone should delete social networking sites, however i can see the use of having msn.

but for the same use i have a phone.

see you may be disciplined, i have to force myself to study
and i have limited time, with sport.

so i have to maximize the time i have, instead of procrastinating on myspace & msn.
