Why? If I'm doing an hour & a half's worth of work, it has to be quality because I dunno... I can't just sit there physically and have my mind in some other place. I feel like I'm wasting time & not being productive & if I do start to whaffle I take a break so I can get it together.

try studying in smaller blocks of tym....say 30 - 45 mins. so after concentrated work for that amount of tym take a 10-15 min break and get back to it. slowly start increasing ur 'blocks' of study.

Yeah I think I'll start with an hour of eco...because it's so much theory I don't think I could take in 90 min of it.

Probably 2.5 hours or so. I don't do reaaaaaally long sessions of study, I find that even a 5 minute break makes my mind work far more efficiently.

Uhm... burnout alert. I really doubt that you could continue that routine for even another month... but if you can, well bravo to you then.

well bobo, to be honest ... the hsc was one of the tuffest yrs of school for me, not coz of the pressure it creates but due to the fact that its entirely new to it .....
i lived in the middle-east till i completed yr 11 and moved to syd just for the yr of the hsc. coming from a different educational background, it was absolutely essential for me to do well if i am to get in uni .... in fact sooo many ppl wrote me off saying that i wont be able to get over 80 for a uai !! but i got ..... 92 !!!:D :D so i guess the main motivation came frm the fact that i needed to prove them rong n show that i can do it ! ;)

That's so true... when someone says you can't do any better you tend to get angry & want to just prove them wrong.

i also found out that ppl that come from overseas study much much harder, like some asian countries, inlcuding India:D. i dound that i worked a lot harder than i did when i came here. altho that was in yr 5, the level of work was much lower. i did have a lot of trouble with the australian studies we did that year....lol....still do i think!
