Just generally, how do you guys study and what do you find more effective, and most importantly, what do you guys recommend?:
1. Studying multiple subjects in one day
2. Dedicate each day to one subject alone
Thanks :)

At this point past papers are your best friend. Do subjects you’re least confident with. Also if your not feeling like doing a subject don’t force yourself to sit through it because it will just be unproductive.

As I only do 4 subjects (Ext 1 + 2 Maths, Eco, Legal and English), I do either ext 1 or 2 and one of the electives and a bit of English every day

But as stated, past papers either going through it or timed

When I did HSC I tried doing 3 papers per day (8-9 hours per day) which failed, so it usually resulted in 2 papers per day but occasionally 3. Different subjects is good as it makes it more fun, imagine studying one thing for 9 hours straight.

I'd probably say focus on improving marks on your subjects that can get you the most ATAR. For me this was Maths Ext 2/Physics/Biology.

Also never studied for English (except memorising quotes + creative) as I had literally no idea what you're meant to do to improve in the subject and had no tutor. So unless you have someone to give you feedback I feel like it's a waste of time as you have no idea how to improve after every past paper that you do (which should be the goal of past papers - you don't do past papers for the sake of doing them).

TL;DR - study multiple per day, and focus more time for the ones where you can improve the most marks/ATAR.
