^ Title says all. What are you sacrificing in order to fully concentrate on the HSC?

I'll start off. Being an avid gamer, I'm giving up video games. I've promised not to launch another game until final HSC exams are over. Except maybe on Christmas.
(I want to play Skyrim dammit)

Probably BOS.

I can't think of anything that really distracts me from studying. I just tend to procrastinate. A lot.

inb4 fapping (please no one say this.)

Nothing really. I've realised that i waste most of my time procrastinating/talking on msn. This is all i need to change.

I'll use facebook a lot less, even as a "break" from study. It wastes a lot of time and I never get any sense of fun/relaxation from it like you might with other things you could do in a break time.

Only working one shift a week now as well and not at all during exam times. More than happy to give up some work. :smile:

Don't give up anything. OP play games on the weekends if needs be. Or alternatively at night from 9.00pm onwards.

If you're wanting to block specific sites: google: Stayfocusd.

Google add on that can control how much time you're spending on some websites. I'm planning to reduce my time on facebook (major time waster) to 30mins per day. I had it at 60 per day during prelim!

I don't know whether to take a break from piano or not..finished 7th...don't really want to pursue it anymore...any thoughts?

I gave up so much in year 11. All of my music and sports. But I learned that balance is the most important, so I'm probably going to bring some of it back. Hello piano and guitar :D
