how much did you study, and what was your atar/what do you usually get in exams? (1 Viewer)

[pigas]

I am wondering:

- how many hours a day/week did/do you study?
- as a result, what was your atar/what score do you normally get in exams?

It really is going to depend on the individual and how quickly they grasp and understand the concepts. For VCE I studied probably 1-2 hours a night after school, 4 hours on a saturday and maybe 4 hours on a sunday. By "study" I mean any reading/questions I had to do as well as making notes etc. Obviously as exams got closer I studied more but at the same time a still had plenty of nights off after school as well, find the balance where you are studying fairly regularly but not driving yourself crazy and you'll be fine

As Jinks said, it really depends on the person and it can vary greatly. It certainly isnt like X amount of study = Y ATAR. I know one person who did about 1 - 2 hours per night fairly consistently and ended up with an ATAR in the late 70s and another person who did the same amount and ended up with low-mid 90s.

During the break period before the HSC itself, I would try to write 2 history essays for modern and extension (each), as well as two english essays for adv and ex (each), run through some practice papers of other subjects. I had my creative writing for both english subjects memorised and memorized all of the concepts and arguments in all my essays. Didnt study extensively, just studied smart.

Atar: 97, twin brother 96.

Don't ever adopt this attitude.
Hours of study are irrelevant in how well you do in exams. There is a slight trend, but what's literally 3 times as influential is how you spend those hours.

In my experience, my exam marks are 35% natural ability, 30% study habits, 20% exam technique, 10% time spent studying, 5% luck.

I think if I averaged out the amount of time I crammed for exams over the year
I would've done like 2 hours of study (maybe less) a week.
But I didn't do very well. ~~~
