In these weeks leading up to the HSC what is your study timetable like? How many hours are you doing per day and how are you studying?
For me personally I am re-writing all my notes from scratch, because it helps me to remember them, and then I'll be doing heaps of past papers and re-drafting essays.
How about you guys? I'm not sure how much I plan to study per day yet, I feel like I've been pretty slack since my graduation, however out of my friends I've done the most so that's worrying >.<
My subjects are: Studies of Religion (1 unit - and it's compulsory otherwise I would have dropped it haha), Legal Studies, Advanced Maths, Chemistry, Advanced English, Extension One English and Extension Two English (which is over hooray!)

Please share! And also, how do you stay motivated? How long are your study blocks? What's your ATAR aim? My aim is 95!

Are you going to the lectures by yourself? I want to go to a legal studies one but I'm very anxious and shy and I can't find any one to go with :( do you think it'll be okay to go by myself?

Today studying outside helped me a lot, I got 6 hours of work done in no time and I'm planning to do more tonight. I find what's best for me is planning out what I'm doing, when and for how long and making sure I have breaks in between to rest my brain and to act as a reward. Setting goals really helps, and having other people tell you to study is also great. If you get distracted easily then go some where with out distractions, you can get browser extensions that don't let you go on the internet for a certain amount of time and limit your useage if that's a problem, and if home in general is bad then go to the library or a park. You sort of have to play around with some things till you find out what works best for you.

Thanks :) However, what should you do when you actually study? Like, read through notes? Write them out? Do practice essays? I do not know how it is possible to do 6 or more hours of that! Are there any other more effective ways than the ones I just mentioned?
