Are The Teachers Realistic In Regards to Hours Per Night? (1 Viewer)

[someth1ng]

but its maths and lets face it math study is the thing most people spend their time on so lets say 30%

MX2 was probably my least focused subject - I only turned up to class and wrote stuff down.

People I know that got 99-99.95 didn't study ridiculous amounts like the stupid tutoring colleges continue to say.

Everyone that claims they did "nothing" or the "plenty 1-2 hours a night" is just deterring misinformed BOS high school students onto an inevitable path of failure.

I guess what many members should advocate is the balance of work, so don't burn out too hard on study throw some other activities as it has once been stated "The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long"

Look guys this is all an individual thing and depends so much on a lot of factors. I know .95'ers who did less than 2 hours a night and got state ranks with that as well. I also know .95'ers who studied 5 hours a school night. Personally, I was probs doing around 3 hours a night (and probs around that on weekends too), and then more during exam blocks. I also know people who did that much study and got a much lower ATAR.

Don't study by the hours- 2 hours of good study (however you learn best) is worth much more than 4 hours of crap study. No one gives a shit if you do 10 hours of study- the ONLY thing that matters if what you can put down on that paper when the examiner goes 'your time starts now'. Don't worry about time and unlocking achievements for hitting 10 hours in a day- do as much as YOU need to do to understand everything effectively.

Look at your ATAR goal and play around with ATAR calcs. Work out what mark you need in each subject and also work off that. If you're going for .95, that'll take a lot more work than flat 99 which'll take a lot more work than 95 etc etc.

But in response to opening question- those are WAY too many hours to do- you need a life and you need balance. From what I've seen, the very top students often aren't those who basement their whole lives.

Good luck!

I did like 2 hours a day and maybe 4 (if lucky) on the weekend. of course this increased to probably double during exams and right before HSC it was pretty much all the time. do as much as you need to understand everything and pace yourself. you're in a marathon and the end is a long way away

Why is that so correct.

IMO I would say organise a timetable. Spend around half an hour on each subject when you come home. Then go to sleep at nine, wake up at five and revise the notes you made!
