Re: ppl who got >90 in subjects how did u study?!?!
I'm leaning towards science and math. English and humanity subjects just don't interest me and neither can I crap on and on and on and on like you would during final exams. I just don't know how to digest stuff like Shakespear, etc. If you're this type of student, get ready to get a crap mark for English. But this doesn't mean you can't get a good mark if you want to, it's just that you will tend to study for your favourite subjects and forget about English until it's too late to do so. Yes, you're one of them that will fall into this pattern.
Yes, mentality is essential. Personally, any stress level is daunting for me to study and exactly like doobee has mentioned, it drains away your concentration and true capability.doobee said:I'm not finished HSC yet but my teachers expect me to make the premier's all rounder's list (90+ in 10+ units).
The biggest thing that helps me is called rescue remedy. Its a stress supplement. Yes I know you need to study, but theres no point studying when you're so stressed you can't concentrate (trust me, I've tried, you just get really upset and frustrated). At the moment, all I see is people falling apart (Im friends with a lot of very smart kids) and their marks are suffering because of it. If you stay calm, keep your nerve and give it everything you've got I think that at the end of the day you'll achieve your best possible result. (So I take this anti stress thing).
My best subject is legal studies, but I'm a humanities student all round, what I find most helpful is to think a lot aobut things and to read widely and often. For example in Legal it is impressive if you can use a recent case which has been in the news (Such as Bilal Scaf's retrial which was on last night).
Also, when I study, its very intense, but I don't do nearly as much as a lot of toher people. Quality over quantity. Its reached the point where I can go over my notes in my head while I'm at work or on the bus because when I study, I remember things. I use little analogies to help me remember things, short stories etc or maybe a song that I like.
Also in the exam, think laterally, sometimes if you think outside the square for a moment, the answer will just hit you.
I don't know, it works for me! Good luck everyone!
