So my half yearlies are in 3 weeks. I'm not quite sure how to study for them; should I study for my last exam first, and work my way in so I'm studying for my first exam last (ie. closest to the actual exam?) Or the other way around so I study for my first exam first? Either way there is a pretty massive gap between some subjects and the exam.

Should I just study say two seperate subs each day or something?

Rant: How am I supposed to study for my half-yearlies in the middle of two other assessments :/

Anyway, when are your half yearlies? How do you plan on studying?

mine are week 9, i plan on making notes for the subjects i find easy/wrote learning(e.g eco, business). I also have 2 assessments :argh:, then i ll move on to physics,ext maths. I have been doing some questions for 2u everyday so yeah.

No english half yearly which is a relief. Hopefully after this weekend i ll have everything where i want it to be.

Wow, so do you still have school for the next few weeks? I'd imagine so.
Nope, i have next week off coz some ppl still have some exams. But, i do have school after that for 3 weeks and then holis :) and in between those 3 weeks i have two science assessments.

Mine are in weeks 9&10.
Gotta finish 2u speech + 2u visual rep + 3u essay + 3u creative writing before I even think of revising for other subjects. TT_TT.
Will probably just get notes up to date and continually revise until the week before the exam, then in the week leading up to it - do past papers for maths & chem, practice essays for eco & english. Thankfully no assessment for mod.

Go to library man :) Times flies in the library too.

My half yearlies are in two weeks. I plan to head to the library as many times as possible throughout the week and go to state library for a 5 hour session on Saturdays.

-Finish my English speech for half yearlies and now I'm just going to tweak, tweak, tweak :hammer: Hopefully I can get a mark of 12/15+. It would make my term :)

-1/3 of my way through IPT study. Should be finished by next week :guitar:

-General Maths :uhhuh: Not confident in statistics and am weak at trig but im confident I can pull off a top 10 rank in my grade.

-Economics. Oh god :uhoh: Gonna ask my teacher to help me make a study plan

-Accounting :uhhuh: Any 2nd year Accounting HSC student will tell you this is a walk in the park. Its a shame I screwed up the 1st year :(

I've been just studying through the textbook and talking about it with friends.

High 5 :D Me too... so glad it's over for now and I don't have to cram

Am looking forward to my Music Prac Performance

For those with exams coming up... use this time to get your notes up to date, do past papers and get as much help from your teachers as you can (my chem teacher saved my ass for my exam)
