Re: Holiday Plans

My tia from Argentina's come over, so I'm spending the holidays with her.
Also sleeping a lot, visiting doctors and such (gotta LOVE being sick in the holidays, ahem) and that's just about it.

Re: Holiday Plans

When I say 'study' - that means 'not going out'. So that means at home, probably on the computer, MSNing, BoSing, watching NCIS or something.

O rly? Sure stumped me.

Was there need to buy year 12 3 Unit Mathematics book while you are at Preliminary 3 Unit?

P.S. Are Dot Point books alright?

My Mathematics teacher strongly recommended that we get the Year 12 book, and I can't speak for the Dot Point books because I've only just got them.

Re: Holiday Plans

Hey all :wave: . My half yearly exams are over, but now I have to wait anxiously for my results

My holiday plans? Hmm:

1. Complete English Related Texts Speech. This is quite a large weighting, so it's best to put the most effort into it during the holidays. Hate speeches, nerve racking.
2. Complete all of Chemistry Module 2: Metals.
3. Practice and catch up on a lot of Mathematics. I believe I didn't do so well in the exam, so now is the time to catch up on a lot of concepts and study ahead.
4. Stick to a study routine.
5. Give up MSN Procrastination or any other friggin procrastination e.g. youtube, random web browsing. My Mum is getting pissed at the fact that I'm always on MSN 24/7.
6. Get my tennis game up again, since I haven't played in a while due to exams.
7. Party at friends

Have a good holiday all .

Re: Holiday Plans

Wow, that's alot of study. Probably a good thing though, since you have less to do later.

Hurray for ice skating though.

It doesn't get any less from now on >_<

Re: Holiday Plans

Today was the first day where I carried out my holiday plan.

I studied 6 hours of Extension 1 Mathematics (Preliminary trigonometry & HSC trigonometry). Finished the entire chapter (including every single question from Fitzpatrick). Could not do 4 questions in total (mind you that they are DAMN hard). I did another 2 hours for English (reading, memorising some new vocabularly).

Pretty happy with what I did so far and will be doing much more tomorrow.

Re: Holiday Plans

Jesus kids. You will regret so much not living up year 11. Trust me. Yes yes work in year 11, BUT DO NOT WASTE THIS YEAR KILLING YOURSELF STUDYING. 8 hours! What the hell. Do you really want to do your hsc twice? because you are studying as if this is your final year - remember you'll have to do it all again next year.

What are you talking about??? I am doing part of my HSC this year anyway. That's why I am working like this. I am also making up for the last year where I had to go through year 10 and year 11 maths in one year.

Maths is a subject where I do not usually get burnt out. More I study, I get more absorbed into it. So there is no physical problem attached to that. I am also doing few hours of English to improve in it since English appears to be my weakness.

I appreciate your concern but if you know who I am as a person, you would never give me advices in regards to studying. However, I really appreciate your advice.

Re: Holiday Plans

I carried out my holiday plan yesterday, I studied 3U Physical applications of math from 7pm till 2am. I misread the clock and thought it was 11pm, then my mum woke up and yelled at me a bit. I think she woke the neighbours. Then i went to sleep.

Today, i had church, so i didn't do much.

What have you found is a good routine to study for exams?

Do many people write out summaries? and does this just involve summarising everything you have done during the year?

 

[lyounamu]

What have you found is a good way to study for exams over a 2 week period? Does anyone have a plan?

Also do many people write out summarises? and does this just involve summarising everything you have done during the year and just throwing out your notes when the exams are over?

Why don't you make your own study timetable? It is a way to go for me. I generally study Maths and English everyday for few hours and study 2 other subjects apart from Maths and English (e.g. Chemistry & Biology).

Making summaries is good. However, I advise that your notes be quite detailed so that they are usable as exam answers. That means that you can rely on your notes when it comes to writing the stuffs from your notes in your exams.

For more info, PM me. I will be glad to help. :uhhuh:

Thanks lyounamu, although I doubt I will be putting in a few hours a day I will try and make studying a daily activity.
