Hey guys!

Lately I feel like I've been procrastinating heaps! But I end up doing at least 2 past papers a day!
So i was just wondering how long other HSC students are studying. Is abt 4 hours a day enough, considering that u already know a lot of shit from trials?

Depends how effective your studying is. 4 hours sounds like a good amount in my opinion!
As for me, I'm studying around 3-4 hours a day which started from Monday. Before that, I was studying 3-4 hours a term lol not good

4 hours should be fine if you did okay in trials...

Not fucked to care anymore after UMAT results. Lol.

If you manage your time and don't procrastinate you can manage a surprising amount of study. I did 8 hours / day for the month before HSC and it was definitely not impossible.

I sit at my desk from morning till I sleep. I procrastinate 50+% of the time though. I'd say ~6 hours of solid work? ish

2 past papers every day is great! just make sure to be equally prepared for each of your exams and be careful not to focus on only 1 thing..
Personally, I lock myself in my room all day every day and I end up studying a total of about an hour per fortnight - but I'm an idiot and have horrible internal marks so you probably shouldn't do that if you're aiming for a higher ATAR...! LOL

Are school ranks really that helpful?? Im in the same boat as you, I got top 2 in all my subjects then after trials I've done like less than 3 hours daily. Do the ranks really carry you that much? My estimate atar was 95.75, I need 90+

Staring out the window and speaking to myself trying to remember English essays. Goes on for the whole day, so technically 2 hours of productive work lol
