Hope this helps-any more questions, feel free to ask
20 hours should be fine

I actually followed the same study pattern throughout all of my years at high school, particularly strictly followed it during my senior years, so all of my study tips applies equally to Preliminary and HSC study patterns. How long each study session takes will depend on how long your concentration span is and the task(s) you are planning on completing, usually 45 minute-1 hour study sessions are ideal concentration span.
Thanks for the compliment-you are too kind
. Remember guys and girls, if you have any questions on studying for senior years, whether it be general or subject specific, feel free to ask
Technically, university is just another form of school-so I am still going to be a 'school' student in this sense-since within both high school and university the main aim is education to empower the individuals to have more choices to shape the future they desire. I never knew I would be inspirational-thanks for the praise. Thank you for your kind wishesStrawberrye, you are probably one of the most awesome posters on this site, I don't think I have seen you do one post that has no meaning or importance, or is helpful in some way! Thanks so much for the info and encouragement! Good luck for your post-school life
This quote of yours - "DEFINE your own results, don't let your results DEFINE you" - sticks in my head now, and its truly good advice. I think I will make it my guiding quote for my HSC year
Thanks again - you deserve to be made supreme moderator!
I feel truly humbled by your kind comments. I am not even a moderator yet-have a very long way to go if I were to be a supreme moderator. If you have any questions throughout this year, please feel free to ask-all the best
I define study time as consolidating content learnt through practising questions that is not assigned homework, it is normal to feel like you only have time to be prepared for assessment tasks and little else, perhaps elaborating on when your exams are and how you have progressed towards each subject exam/assessment task would enable me to make more specific suggestions on how you can spent your remaining time in the most effective way. To ensure you prepare for exams properly, you need to make sure you have a solid understanding of syllabus dot points and the INTERCONNECTIONS between these syllabus dot points, you need to be doing PAST PAPERS under EXAM CONDITIONS and mark your own paper or get a teacher to mark it, and you need to consistently evaluate your past and present mistakes to minimise your chance of not making the same mistakes, and you need to practice exam time management as well to ensure you know how to manage exam nerves. Hope this helps a bit
Can you elaborate a bit more? Why have you developed such an attitude towards English? What part of English does your brain freezes-when you have to do essay writing/creative writing? What English modules are you studying this year?
I personally didn't find it necessary to do summaries for Visual Arts, however, if you were to do summary notes for Visual Arts, I would advise you to focus on including information such as the artist's name, the type of artist and the time period their works were dominantly composed within, one or two major art work titles, and focus on writing a paragraph or two on the following categories 1)Conceptual Framework(what's the interrelationships between the artist, the artwork, world and audience, including how does the artist engage the audience in the artworks? How is the artworks promoted? What contextual societal values does the artwork explores? etc), Practice(consider elaborating on both the material and conceptual practice of the artist) and Frames(consider the dominant frame the artist is mainly working within). A very good guide to give you some ideas of what are the sort of things you can answer for each three main categories is Rumbleroar's HSC Visual Arts guide: http://community.boredofstudies.org...-guide-frames-practice-conceptual-frames.html
To be honest, there really isn't a 'right way' or 'wrong way' to study for Physics, and for that matter, this applies to all of your subjects, in my sections on my tips on acing science subjects I have basically integrated my tips for studying Physics already, I think in general making notes based on syllabus dot points and practising questions to consolidate your knowledge is very good practice, sometimes getting your science teacher to mark your responses to past exam papers wouldn't be a bad idea-and you should also make sure you are attempting and MARKING your attempts at completing questions from Physics textbooks. Hope you are finding/have found a way that works for you in terms of studying and stick to it throughout your senior studies. Hope this helps a bit
Hi Constantine,Manual bump!
Dropping by once again for some motivational words.
Thanks once again Mei!

1. Making to do lists are always helpful, as well as prioritising which subjects are the most important to study for on any particular date-based on a consideration of what assignments are on etc. I don't actually study all subjects in one day, I usually just focus on one or two. Remember, learning to prioritise is the key to success.I just want to ask a question and i know this is general but it is really getting on my nerves..
1. How do you find time each day to study for all subjects? i am finding that i can't really study for all my subjects because the work load is a lot (school and tutoring) and i miss out on like 1-2 subject studies a day
2. How do you manage writing syllabus notes for subjects and doing questions at the same time? for me i usually got bombarded with homework for physics and chemistry and by the time i finish my h/w i wouldn't have time to write my syllabus notes.. can someone tell me how to overcome these two things????? THANKSSS
