I'm in a very very bad position.
I still haven't finished my notes and there is NO WAY I'm going to remember everything.
I'm screwed.
i'm in the same position as you. don't worry about it, you're not screwed.
i do about 4hrs a day, and i need about 90uai, but i don't feel guilty and i'm not stressing.
i have done about half of my notes, but i have a study technique that will help reduce your stress and realise that 10hrs a day maybe isn't the best option;
- learn all the appropriate headings, so, say for pd, know what would come under the ottawa charter, and then once you have done that for all your subjects, then you can start to learn it. Because, at least when you get into the HSC exam, you will know what the question requires, so, you can either learn in detail what comes under each topic or heading/subheading etc
or go off what you remember, or, even make informed guesses. the first option would be the wisest, but it still makes it easier when you have clearly established quantities of work that you have to learn. it will help you construct a good plan and will make you feel a whole lot more confident.
i hope it helps
also, its been proven that the human brain retains information at an optimal level for one to two hour periods, which must be followed by a (suggested) half hr break. for anyone to do 10hrs a day means that they are actually wasting time as it would be more effective to study for, say, 8hrs, with four half hr breaks in between. anyone doing this much work, firstly, i admire your determination, but YOU NEED TO RELAX! besides, you're putting too much pressure on yourself, it's unhealthy.
