I've currently set out 5.5hours of study and 2 hours of reading time, allowing time to sleep in and have a lengthy 1hour of lunch or walk outside/tv-time/Net/phone...so mainly allocate your time so you dont end up procrastinating and if that doesnt work then delete msn temporarily and d/c the TV but I think a balance between entertainment break time and hours of study is needed to stay sane!

this sounds a bit lame but don't punish yourself

So going to school and attending lessons for 4 hrs is worse for you then skiping half the day?

Cant be bothered studying, the fact that its the holidays not to mention trials start in week 5, studying seems to be the last of the "to-do" list, may not be much of a holiday, but still trying to have fun and enjoying the break seems to be better than working 6 horus a day.

1-2 hours a day is goood enuff for studying, 25 min on each subject everydya for the holidays

U must have great self-control to do 6+ a day and perhaps nothing else to do

Yeh it makes you feel guilty, but alot of people on this forum obviously don't have anything to do. I don't think I could even do 1 hour of study without cracking. It's not that hard to do alright in your subject, if some are so determined to do so much study, they should of been smart enough to listen in class. I get 70+ without studying.. Although I might when my Trials get closer to me in Week 3, but some people are just rediculous! It's the holidays, calm down.

I'm in Year 11. It's holidays, and I'm not really studying.
My goal is to finish all my assessments and make summaries for business studies, economics and chemistry.

Good Luck for your trials.
