When is the ideal time to start preparing for Year 12?
Early in holidays (ASAP)?

Start now! The earlier you start, the less stress you have next year.
-
maybe in jan? atleast a month break is good!
-
After you've had a sufficient break from writing year 12 and year 11 exams. When you feel as though you've regained motivation. You'll get sick of it very quickly if you force yourself to do the work. I personally found that if I started early, the work was unending as the extra time I had at the end was spent studying too. So, I usually started later - but I did nothing for year 12 in the Summer, only in year 11 did I work through the summer, and that too, I began mid December.
-
Everyone is different. Try it out, if you don't feel like you're bored to death/completely forcing yourself after the first day, then keep on going. If you are, maybe just start by doing a very little amount and slowly increasing or just give yourself some time before going on a studying frenzy ;D
-
Just do it.
Talking about your plans to do it subconsciously satisfies your urge to actually go and do it apparently.
-
I see, i reckon i should start very soon, because i am leaving to go overseas later this month.
Did anyone of you guys study whilst on holidays overseas?

that is a sin.
being overseas, no matter in which country, is a blessing. dont waste it you'll regret it.
-
Agree. Don't study overseas. I was a freak and took all my books overseas last year - waste of time, did not touch them - they just added to my luggage weight. So, despite having the best of intentions, it does get hard to study when you're on holiday.
-
Yeah fair enough, thought it would be hard.
-
I am planning to only bring my English texts on holiday. Also you should start with some work you will enjoy, no point forcing yourself this early.

I agree, my tecahers gave me homework worth 4 weeks. I did them/CRAMMED 2 DAYS BEFORE I LEFT on a month long holiday. My mum wouldnt let me take homework LMAO. The following quotes are from her
1= "We're not paying $1800 for you to do homework
2= "you're already smart"
3= "im not wasting potential luggage space for homework"
ily mumzy :smitten:

-
i brought hw to my holiday and i actually did do about a days worth.... but other than that nothing was done so i wouldnt bring it next time
-
I'm also wondering about this too, maybe give myself the first 2 weeks off and get into it then.
What do you guys think?

Yeah sounds alright, but i wouldn't leave it too long, because if you find it hard to be motivated like me, delaying it longer will make it harder cause you are in a holiday mood.
-
Yeah that's what has me worried, seeing as I'm pretty motivated at the moment due to being in the middle of year 12 orientation week. gah... but don't want to burn out :S

you will LOL, sorry not much encouragement ><. I tell myself EVERY 2 week holiday between feb and dec, that ill spend 1 week doing the homework, and 1 week relaxing.....NONE of them occur.
-
lmao nova, need some encouragement :(
-
You need to set yourself goals which you know you are capable of achieving. Sure you can set yourself TT(superman)-like goals, but it will be harder to stick to them. Sticking to your goals is probably the most important thing about self-study, since you're gonna have no teachers enforcing deadlines. So yeah, try your best to do that, and reward yourself when you tick off a goal :P
-
^listen to the wise guy :D
He has the good spirit!!! :D
-
Just do year 12 in Term 1. That's what I did. Means you get to have fun in your final year of schooling!
-
From the time you were born.

Cheers /0, makes sense.
