Studying over the holidays (yr 11 exams) (2 Viewers)

[the-derivative]

yr 11= no study for me

Lol I like your thinking =]
i havent done much studying these holidays... just wrote some notes because our teacher makes us write notes at the end of every topic. Gonna bludge for two weeks so I can come back fresh - that's possible for me as I only have one assignment this holiday and we don't have half yearlies at my school (well from what Im aware of).

You made a "It's Holidays!" poster? That's dedication.

Yup. I was very excited

Yup. I was very excited

You could've spent all that time on studying instead of making a poster. Nah kidding . Have fun at school this week, while I'll be relaxing and playing more tennis :uhhuh:

Re: Holiday Plans

not that i am complaining, but who changed the name of the thread? it has rought it back to life however...

 

[Sarah182]

Man how can you people study so much in the holidays.
Im still burnt out from the exams in the last 2 weeks of school last term.
Its a chance to relax for me, until I have to do my chem assignment due 3 days after we come back.

 

[Aplus]

Shouldn't you be starting that assignment now

 

[Aerath]

There's always the night before.

 

[Aplus]

Strangely, I seem do get a lot of work done the night before for some reason.

Almost finished all my Understanding Year 11 Maths Questions, just one chapter to go. Soon to start 3U Cambridge. Does the Cambridge 3U book cover all the 2U stuff as well? Should I just work on the Cambridge or find another 2U book to practice my 2U maths?

 

[Aerath]

If you can do 3U Cambridge, you should be able to complete any 2U book. Easily.

Darn, I should have taken this advice Especially in physics. I just don't have the motivation, though; light and mirrors bore me. I can't wait for year 12, we get to design rollercoasters! yay!

and English was just weird, we were meant to be filling in some computer worksheet but I somehow ended up researching free market economies. Our teacher didn't seem to care, I don't think she was fully awake yet actually.

But yeah...stupid NSW people for having no school! grr!

Lol yeah reflection and refraction of light is boring at times. Do you guys also get 2 weeks of holidays or just 1? If one, then bad luck .

Exactly, I did my Extension English assessment task the night before.
I finished it at 6:30am and I got an A
I'm keeping that that system more often!

 

[Aerath]

Don't believe the BS that teachers tell you: "Assessment tasks can never be done the night before."

 

[Sarah182]

Exactly, they have no idea what they are talking about, sure you might have sleep deprivation for a few days but its worth it.

 

[foram]

One night is long enough to do an assignment. If not, you're not working fast enough, unless its one of those 20 page assignments which require you write 2 10 page reports about some obscure topic, taking two perspectives.

 

[selablad]

Most assignments can be done in one night. You have all those hours that you would normally sleep in, and it is just a matter of managing time. You just adjust your pace to suit the fact that you have a limited amount of time...and it all magically works out. Or something.

I'm tired from having to go to school today

And yes, we did get two weeks of holidays. Well, state schools only got 1 (had to go back last week) but most private schools (like mine ) got 2 weeks and went back this week. But enough holiday talk, back to the grindstone for me!

Well, sleep now. Same difference.

Well I chose to take the first week off and started studying only the second week coz I only have exams 2nd week back and I usually start studying for it 2 weeks beforehand haha....

I reckon its a good idea to print out a table with all you subjects and the weeks and put in the assessment tasks etc in the regarding week and designate when you should start studying, coz then you see how much work might be cramped into it...

although this may seem nerd-ish but I found heaps of good tips on the HSC website:
