At the moment zilch, i'm trying to read/learn what i missed out on first during my trial study.

In the last minute dash for trial, i churned out quite a few notes and summaries suprisingly.

But remember, study smarter, not harder.

Be more effecient.

Take regular breaks.

Learn happily.

Variety is the spice of life.

Study your worst one first.

Don't stress, don't panic.

And last of all... wear sunscreen ;)

for how long....well that depends on the individual.. I like to study like 4 hours a night, or on days with no school, about 7-8 hours (because it takes me that long to assure myself im learning!)

others can study for 1 or 2 hours and they're set, coz they kno everythin already

however! the amount of time studying is not necessarily proportional to how well u will do in the HSC, its how effective your study has been

Quality not quantity.

Efficiency is the name of the game.

Oh, to everyone, take FREQUENT breaks. You have to give your mind time to absorb all the information.

being efficient by definition means learning things (actually learning, not just reading/writing subconsciously) in the least time that is possible
so to study efficiently, u need to maximise the amount of info u take in and understand where time is a premium....somehow...

Listening is the most effecient form of study for me. I tend to absorb things faster that way

Has anyone been able to "replicate" exam conditions at home?

I haven't even come close. Every time I try doing a past paper I just freeze after 40 minutes and take a walk or get something to eat.
