What am I supposed to do now?

There's like 6 weeks to actual HSC exams which isn't much so I feel like I need to start studying for exams again. I'm gonna start doing past HSC and past trial papers but idk if there is better stuff to do.

What is everybody doing now?

right now I'm watching anime and reading Percy Jackson xD I've been getting trial marks back as well as feedback from teachers, so now I know my exact weaknesses in every subject. I plan to work on these weaknesses between now and the HSC. for example, I know from my business trial that I'm strong in every section except the case study essay so I'm obviously gonna practise more of the essay compared to multiple choice or short answer.

doing past HSC papers is definitely the best thing to do from now, both timed/untimed, but not until you're 100% sure about the content. I also recommend giving tons of draft responses to your teachers so that u learn from your mistakes and actually improve. I plan to start doing all this when I feel motivated bc atm I'm still feeling lazy after trials

ikr I'm just enjoying myself currently then i realise 'oh shit HSC is in 6 weeks' but I haven't done anything about it yet lol. I think the first week of term 4 is dependent on the school but mine has not said anything about it yet (hopefully i can stay home for another week)

To be honest the HSC should not start so early like we just completed our trials. I think that is enough stress for now. It is what it is I guess :(

If you think 3 weeks of rest is bad, I finished my last exam on Tuesday, back to school on Wednesday and need to start studying again. I'll rest after HSC I guess.

After the trials you need to keep studying until the HSC exams. Don't burn yourself out but remember that the HSC is a marathon and you cannot slow down during the final sprint.

Don't accept excuses because they will come easily. Just do anything that you can with the resources that are available to you.
