What did you do all holidays? (1 Viewer)

[pandaaMONIA]

I did a lot of maths.

But that's about it - My exams are first day back :S

 

[Erkie]

i spent them telling myself I've got heaps of time to study... and now I don't..

May I point out to the Year 11 students here:

If you plan on doing Year 12 and finishing your HSC,


YEAR 11 COUNTS TO ABSOUTELY NOTHING


unless you do Mathematics - any course in maths ... 30% of the HSC exam in composed of Preliminary Mathematics questions... but Mathematics, at least at HSC level up to 3-unit, is quite easy if you are a mathematical thinker like me. Otherwise you should be doing General Mathematics, which is piss easy anyways (don't even bother saying it's not, I am in Year 10, have done past General papers and got 80%)...

so um
don't even bother feeling guilty for not studying. It is SO not worth it.
The only years of High School that really count are, in my opinion, Years 10 and 12.


Year 10 = School Certificate = the big decision 'do I stay at school or leave and get a trade, so I can starting earning cash straight away?' = foundation for your adult working life.

Year 12 = Higher School Certificate, HSC = the NSW/ACT university entrance pathway for High School Students = only an important Year if you plan on going to university some time in your life = not really that important, as only 30% of NSW/ACT Year 12 graduates go to university these days...


Anyways.
Year 11 does not count. It is a Preliminary course, just like Year 9 was for Year 10. And don't try to tell me Year 11 counts, because if it did then Year 9 would have to count too ... and really... tbh we all know Year 9 was a waste of our time and unnecessary...

So STOP STRESSING NOW ALL OF YOU YEAR 11s!!! YOU don't deserve to stress when this year counts for absolutely nothing in your entire working career lives!

 

[possessionless]

the only thing i would say to yr 11's is make sure you get in good study habits! because i regret not doing that going into yr 12. it was hard to develop study habits & its still hard lol. so even though it doesnt count & you really shouldnt stress too much, develop those habits now

 

[TBK11]

The Regret kicks in right about now lol
when you realize oh i can go to the citi tomorrow ill just study the next day then the next day then on the following day more plans are made i say to myself "oh well ill study the next day" and the cycle goes on and go till now realizing that going to the city isn't that fun anymore
(except for galaxy world)
and when it comes down to when school start your half screwed but it can all be made up
in the remaining few days [◕‿◕] with some hardcore procrastinating.

ahh well should balance 50-50 make plans for ^_^ time and make plan for revising/ study time..

 

[DoomBuggy]

I should have been working on my BOW and my PIP a bit more but i just haven't been stuffed to do much...

But i did do the RSA and RCG courses on Thursday and Friday... so i did do something worthwhile that contributes to my future! haha

I'm glad i finished my Half yearlies before the holidays...

I have been lurking round the house, staying indoors and watching TV shows on DVD the past couple of days... haven't been feeling the greatest and i go back Tuesday

 

[fully223]

Chilled with mates. Bludged. Went out etc.
Was quite a good holiday sesh.

 

[electrolysis]

I thought about studying a whole bunch.

Same ^^

Im going to be pulling all-nighters tonight and tommorow night to finish off all the work...

 

[Absolutezero]

Saw live shows. Went to parties. That's about it.

I only had the week off though because uni has a different break system.

 

[Aquawhite]

all night? no thank you. It's still the holidays so I'm going to ease myself back into some hardcore study and work. Past Papers here I come...

 

[suzlee]

some maths, some chem.... and some physics (just this morning LOL)




OMG I HAVE TO READ OTHELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To do so fast and efficiently.... get the hell off BoS! lol. I procrastinate far too often on the web (not always BoS)......

I think I will quit before the HSC sometime, or at least a big break before the Maths exam this year.

That's a pain in the ass.
The only thing I remember from othello is the quote: "Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe."

 

[drowning_pocoyo]

dota+msn+parties+facebook = no study = fail my half yearlies

How would you know you're in Year 10. It's really hard ti shift up a lot of rankings, so this is the year to lay the foundation for a good year 12 by getting good ranks/marks in everything for confidence etc.

I did a lot of study on everythhing except 3U English I didn't do too much but it's ok it was just an essay. I've done 19 Maths past papers though. And I finished some assignments etc, so i should do fine in my half yearlies.

+1
If you don't start developing study habits now, you'll crash and burn in Year 12. The workload between Year 10 and Year 12 is extremely different. Year 11 is a nice balance between the two.

yes i agree but it also wise to try and not burnout in year 11. Year 11 should be about learning what study techniques work for you and get used how things work with ranks etc.
