Just wondering how many hours your studying now up until the HSC? and how many subjects your doing a day?

Im aiming for an Atar of 75+ and I am doing about 5 hours a day and only doing like 2/3 subjects a day do you guys think that is enough study to achieve my goal??

How much are you doing?? :)

There is not set number of hours you should or shouldn't do Striker.

1. Construct a study timetable which you feel you will be able to stick to.
2. Try and break down your subjects into easy to hand chunks and fit them into your study timetable
3. Make sure you take enough breaks and have a good support network in case you get stressed out
4. Study as hard as you can =)

This video always tends to motivate me!

Inspiring video, but I'm not sure I would agree on not sleeping for 3 days lol, you still need your sleep to maintain optimum concentration, otherwise you will make simple mistakes.

Haha yes, it motivates me but doesn't give the best advice sometimes.

Sleep is important, helps you consolidate new information you learn throughout the day.
It's good to have a big study session and have a solid night's sleep.

Assuming you're studying effectively, you will achieve that ATAR. It won't matter how many hours you study but rather, how you study your material which will ensure the speed of your understanding of the content. And make sure you take sufficient breaks or there will be no use studying 5 hours straight.

"if u sleep, u might miss the opportunity to be successful"
every second of everyday should be spent studying. u should be doing maffs problems at the dinner table and when ur on the toilet taking a dump. when u sleep, u should be dreaming about maths. that is how u achieve greatness.

LOL.. i think about this stuff but it makes me unable to sleep = bad = tiredness = ineffective learning
tiredness reminds me not to eat oily foods before embarking on a hardcore study session - makes me tired as heck =_=
