Re: study hours

Realistically how do you fit more than 4 hours on a school night without sacrificing the recommended 7-8 hours sleep?
I used to fit in extra hours of study by sleeping 6 hours a day. Big mistake lol. I regret doing that in year 11.
Hopefully this year I'll maintain a regular 7-8 hour sleep pattern.

Re: Hsc prep Here it comes!

Guys, it's not necessary that you write notes. I have NEVER written notes for any of my subjects, and yet I've still managed to top most of them. There's really no use in writing notes. You should better spend your time learning the syllabus and just reading your textbook. Also, read a wider variety of sources to supplement your knowledge. Don't just stick to your textbook. Take the initiative and actually search something up on Google.

Also, I've got another friend who is duxing the grade and already has a scholarship lined up for him and he's also never made notes.

Yeah I don't write notes, and I'm doing fairly well.

Yeah - and if you wanna study more, just study and go to sleep at 11ish, otherwise just bludge or go to sleep early.

I do 6 hours a day and here's my routine:

3:15 - 3:30 Shower
3:30 - 6:00 Study (2.5 hours)
6:00 - 7:00 Dinner
7:00 - 11:00 Study (4 hours)
11:00 - 6:45 Sleep (almost 8 hours)

Total: 6.5 hours study

 

[lolman12567]

7:00 - 11:00 is 4 hours

4:00-8.00 Study
8:00-8.15 Dinner
8.15-11:00 BoS
11:00-7:00 Sleep

or

4:00-8.00 Study
8:00-8.15 Dinner
8.15-4:30 Sleep
4:30-7:00 Shower/run/study
give or take
the first study and dinner can be mixed up for whenever dinner or when u wanna eat

 

[bubblesss]

i don't know if it's only me or are there are many people who think that study at late night works more efficient?
i usually like to study between 9 pm - 2am.....
but thats just me. i can't study befor 7pm watever i do.....

 

[Timothy.Siu]

i usuaally study at night too, but usually started tooo late after procrastinating too much after school sooo i'm gonna try something different plus, if i fee like studying more at night, i can

yes me too.
i'm trying to change that habit but just cant get rid of it.
it's worse during exam times..... i'm a crammer and usually stay up nearly for the whole night and get noo sleep.....

 

[marcquelle]

no i'm like that too, i find it hard to study unless its early morning or late night

 

[Doctor Jolly]

Wow, you spend that long on BoS?

 

[shayla]

I dont know if this is the right spot or not, but does anyone find it odd that if you write by hand, ie workbooks, summeries etc, that you remember the infomation that you write down, better then if you type those summeries, type up class notes etc ?
just a thought i was pondering....

 

[adidasboy]

My timetable will probably be:
4:00-5:00 Workout
5:00-5:30 Shower
5:30-6:30 Dinner
6:30-11.30 Study ( 4.5 hours )
11.30-6.15 Sleep (almost 7 hrs)

It depends on what subjects you take. If you dont take notes in history, society and culture, legal studies and just rely on textbooks, you'll be crucified.

 

[lyounamu]

wth people. With 5+ studying everyday, you should get like 99+ UAI. Unless those study routines are totally consumed by procrastination, 99+ UAI won't be hard with 5 hours a day...

my timetable is like:

2-5am studying
5-6am re-sleeping
6am -> prep for school, school, random things
4pm -> total procrastination, eating and sleeping

I want to study more than 3 hours a day but I don't think I will pull that off.
It's more like 3- hours a day.

With that routine, my UAI = less than 90 = no actuarial for me, not happy at all. (even though it's not all about amount of studying you do but amount matters! lol)
