burning out is a myth

I never got burnt out despite studying excessively (at times)

or maybe its an individual thing

I'm determined to finish my PIP for society as well as my English Ex2 story and be halfway through my history extension. I know they are meant to be a 'year's worth of work.' but I need them out of the way...

Catchup on all my notes, Then maybe some half yearly past papers since mine are like in Week 4 or something? Also I need to actually find some good english texts to use and not use the ones I did for my english related text portfolio...... I guess just making sure I'm up to date and understanding the course content. Do a lot of driving to catchup on my Driving hours to get my P's on time!

Lol you guys are so funny, just wait. Look I'm not saying don't do any work, just calm down, it's a long ass year. I'd say 1 hour a day is MORE than enough. Relax kids. inb4 CBF studying for trials/hsc when it counts the most. How do i know? Cos i did this. I went hardout for half yearlies and trials, ended up hardly studying for the HSC.

Could you or anyone else please explain to me what you do when you say doing 'maths past papers'? I mean, most people haven't finished the hsc content, so are you just picking out questions from the hsc/trial papers that you have learn how to do? I should probably start on them too, but unsure where to begin.

I guess after you finish learning a topic, you could do past questions that relate to it. Some past paper books have a page where they specify where all the questions in a certain topic are.

For example the Excel Success One books contain all past HSC papers for a particular subject and have the questions all placed under each topic. So instead of searching for what you need it's all organised.

Going to Japan on exchange for the first 3 weeks, will be doing about 2 hours a night over there. When I come back, 5 hours.

English - Solid creative and essays prepared for half yearlies & Read 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Letters to Alice'
Legal - Note all pertinent textbook sections - Crime, Human Rights, Family, World Order
Modern - Complete WW1 source notes, past papers & Begin Germany
Japanese - Consolidate vocab., grammar and kanji
Drama - Cement IP, beginning rehearsal & Complete Australian Drama and Theatre notes
Hist. Ext. - Ideally, complete the whole project, a bit ambitious, I know. Otherwise, first 2 focus questions completed in depth & Notes on 'What is history?' refined
Jap. Ext. - Notes on 'Spirited Away' and relevant grammar completed.

I understand it seems ambitious, but so is my ATAR aim.
Nice list.
