Well i would 'like' to study more but i've got alot of extra-curricular commitments as well, though i think what i'm doing now is quite reasonable for the beggining of year 11. .. oh and omg to the guy who's working from 4pm-12am straight, it's probably better if you have a balance.

On a weekday for homework i spend probably around 1 - 3 hours a night depending how much is set. I then try for around 2 hours of study though it usually ends up being 1. The rest of my time is eating, piano practise, chatting online and doing stuff for SRC or whatnot.

Weekends i work for like all of saturday, and sunday is relaxing or practising piano with some homework thrown in.

Being in year 11 is harder than i thought! Year 10 was so much of a bludge. i got all band 5 for the school cert. Will the HSC be easy like the SC? What am i suppose to be studying exactly? Is studying subjects simply revising and reading the textbooks? :confused:
I get worried when everyone says to me they are doing their homework and spend loads of time on school work. I dont see how they can do that. I have made a time schedule of studying 1 hour a subject a day after homework?

Do i need to study more?
Gosh i hate studying... =P

Yes, yes we do. =(

Its not too hard atm, its probably we only doing it in order of chapter. Cant wait till i burn the bitch up:mad1:

As for the post above me
People who brag how long they study are largely up themselve liars who just want to make up story to put people off.
You should vary your study time depending on your workload. Rest and time off is important, it relaxes your mind and
refreshes it. You can also multitaks while doing homework, read the chapter that correspons to the homework
question and make notes on them. Kill THREE birds with one stone.

NO

Just try modifying your time management, and balancing all the aspects of your life. I think studying for 1-2 hour a night is pretty much sufficient, as homework takes the majority of your time.

Timetabling doesn't work well, it's prioritising that pwns.

What a stupid english assessment you would never need to write that much in an exam for one section so no reason why they should have an assessment making you.

And you don't have to go to you so :p.

Good for understanding the concepts, but basic exercises.
