You are not screwed because I got a 90+ UAI doing exactly what you are doing now. I should note that if you want to get into a combined law course, however, maybe you should study a little bit more just to make sure because all of these courses are 90+ and most are 95+.

I never hit 5hrs, only about 2-3, sometimes 4 max

trust me, even though I know my shit, knowing me i'll forget it before my exam

when i said your brain can handle ~5 hours i was talking about school itself

I only studied 1-2 weeks before most exams and tests...but I studied pretty hard for about 1 month before the HSC.

yep, i did lots of hours (often 5+ hours a night) in the final week before the exams. The only reason i had to do this was because i was lazy beforehand and i really didn't enjoy it...so I encourage you to continue with the consistent study routine that you currently have.

Personally, I'm extremely random. I don't have a set routine/timetable, and I generally only study when I've got nothing to do or when I feel like it...there's no real point studying when you're not in the mood, coz then nothing sinks in - it may add hours to your "study time", but it may not actually be effective.
Honestly, I think I should actually get into a routine, but despite my randomness I still manage to get a few hours of study in each night.

I don't touch my books on a Sunday. I do a fair bit on Saturdays though.

I hate restricting myself too timetables, its shithouse, study is very random, I set myself tasks, and however long they take I'll do, obviously if it only takes ~1hr I'll set more

But just reach a goal, if I can do that then yeh np, and you might get complacent half way, but once its done you get a confidence boost, and I've done it plenty of times, I've aimed too finish just "half now half later" I end up doing the whole thing, gives you a good sense of pride.

Yeah, I just study whatever I feel like studying but the problem is, then I feel guilty about the subjects that I didn't study on that particular night. If I have a day off, then I feel even more guilty!

I guess it's reasonable to feel slightly guilty when you haven't done your work...it's the HSC - people tend to feel anxious and worried that they haven't treated one particular subject as well as another.

Btw. what's with the (Top 0.71% in the state) next to your UAI?...top 0.8% = UAI 99.5 :)
