each path has its pros and cons

study in yr 11: good study habits for year 12 which is very important, albeit a (imo very low) chance to burn out

dont study in yr 11: a whole year of bludge and relaxation, at the sacrifice of your study habits (if u cbf for year 11, chances are u cbf for year 12 either; contrary to what you may believe it is very difficult for a persons motivation to change). dont be fooled by the nerds who bludged and still got like 90+, they go to the gayest top ranked schools and are generally suck the teachers c0x anyway

in the end though, wud u really regret studying too much, or not studying enough? haha.
Totally agreed

Well I'm back to school tomorrow. AND the funniest thing was I was walking downtown today up to BIGW and I saw the teachers in a club drinking and having a sort of reunion thingo. It's very weird watching your teachers drink alcohol XD. Anyway at least they all waved and they really treat the seniors with a lot of repect...

Mathematics and all that may need a lot of Prelim work as it sets the foundations for year 12 work. Most other courses don't need Prelim topics to be able to teach you year 12 work, but Maths does.

My gosh 5hrs of study each day?! Does that include homework? O_O But either way... that's long... very long.

I didn't study at all this holiday, although i did flick through the syllabus for a couple of subjects. I was aiming to do some studying, but it did not work out T_T
I've been told, however, that i should really really study in yr 11 to keep up with the 'selective students,' and if i don't it's too difficult to get 95+ (Been told i go to a crappy public school LOL)

Seriously, theres a limit to how much you can study efficiently. For me, thats about an hour on a subject. any more than that, and i get bored shitless and start messing around.

So i study about two hours a day, two subjects a day. And (except for maths) it seems to be working.

The kid who studied 5 hours each day only did it during weekends and holidays. I wouldn't suggest studying hard out. Just study until you have a firm comprehension of what you're studying.

I find it's much easier to study and make notes or revise during the week, just after you've finished school and it's kind of fresh in your mind (except for Friday arvo's and nights, that is when I do hardly anything).

It makes sense to kick back and relax a little bit on the weekends. I personally still do work, but not AS much.

study on BOTH weekdays and weekends

the distinction is purely sociological and artificial

a day is a day is a day
