^If you've interpreted correctly, that sounds correct, but check with your year adviser/careers advisor.

I need to put more study in this term, my half yearly goals were not met. (I came close to what I wanted though, a few extra marks here and there would have made me VERY happy). However, I'm still generally content, I have a decent platform of marks to propel myself from next exam set. I get my report in not too long really.

This term is my quest to bring my English rank up, continue my vast improvement in mathematics (I got better in my first maths exam than my SC and all my Yr 10 maths test haha) and to not be overconfident in bio and work a bit more so I don't get beaten again(some random from another class and I have no idea who they are). My other subjects seem like they're doing well, so maintenance there?

But my resolution will probably fail, I have a pile of English work sitting right in front of me as I speak :p

You're all wrong, studying right now does not help at all.
If you study now and make sure you actually know everything and don't just memorise then it will help, because if you actually know something you will remember it for a long time, like riding a bicycle.

I'm studying 4hrs a night now. I get home at 5, start studying straight away til 9.


I did it since monday and it's pretty easy. Considering that math takes a lot of time, and time flies :). In fact I need more time to fit in my English ... :(

That is a lot of hours required for study... any breaks in between?

Guys im trying to figureut how much i should study

If a course has a Atar 60 entry
And i get 5 bonus for been local + another 5 for getting 2 band 5's in simmilar subjects

This means i can get into uni with 50 atar correct

The max bonus points is 10 it says.
If you want a 50 ATAR don't even bother studying, any person should be capable of that....

Of course man.


30 min dinner break + 1-5 min break during each study break. I just play some games on my phone on my break time :).


From 9pm-10pm I go on the computer.
