Hi,
It's the last day of my holidays and I feel as if I've barely done any good study. I've got my trials in 2 weeks and I'm just wondering if there's any of you out there who feel like they've wasted their holidays as well?

How much did you study in the holidays? Also any advice from past students would be much appreciated as well!

Cheers

I did absolutely nothing for the first 9 days in which i originally planned to the bulk of my trial preparation. Over the last 5 days i have been doing ~8 hours of work a day but i can't say i have been the peak of efficient. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks

You're not alone mate. You're probably going to talk to some people that were like me, who say they studied for 4-5 hours a day. Keep in mind it was VERY inefficient study and a lot of surfing the web, staring at the wall. Don't be intimated, have confidence in yourself and don't waste study time. Efficiency > Time inputs

About 2 days of proper work, my trials aren't for another 4 weeks so I'm just telling myself everything will be okay.

Idk, but English pretty much consumed my entire holidays. Bit of eco, business and maths here and there, but my study hour goal was nowhere near accomplished. Yeah, but other than that, watching the world cup kinda fked my sleeping pattern up lol :p

I spent minimum 6 hours a day on studying for trials for the past 2 weeks of the holidays - but I feel like I've learnt absolutely nothing from it. I think I studied very inefficiently, and I'm going to pay the price for it. Dear lord.

Looking at all the stuff I wanted to get done originally, I feel like I've achieved nothing lol
Still have so much stuff to do but ive gotten most my english adv modules down (just gotta get feedback from tutor and start memorising legit the day before #yoloooooo) and aos essay is done, 2/3 through creative, did a few past papers for maths extension 1+2 and did some notes for other subs
And I have to also do my major, and start preparing for one subject which I haven't even touched all holidays (English Extension 1)

hahahha ahahhaha and 1 week until trials
i am kinda fukt
i guess as long as I don't sleep for the next week, I can get through everything :D
