How stuffed am I?

[ecvkcuf]

Okay.. I pretty much did hardly any studying for Chem (lack of motivation + don't like the subject) I've only managed to complete the Hieneman questions from chapters we've done throughout the year and there is an exam in 3 weeks.. if I work hard now can I still get a C+-B on the mid-year exam?



My class is very behind in coursework of Heineman book..

I've done a lot of multiple choice questions for stoich from Lisa Chem (my teacher gave me it) and Checkpoints..

If I work my ass off now till the exam can I still do well?

I've heard a lot people who managed to get some decent scores by studying hard a few days  for the exam (gonna avoid this for mid-years and end of years) and still managed really awesome scores.. I have 3 weeks.. so would this be possible..

Keep in mind, that I'm a person who only learns under pressure and have some fucked up study habits (which worked brilliantly in Year 11 where I managed all As except for Chem and methods by studying very little).. So far for all my SACs I've been studying the day before or like an hour, or period before the SAC and I'm averaging B-A+ for all my subjects.. including chem

I've got 25 prac exams for Chem.. but don't think I'll be able to finish all of them given how late I'm studying

My study timetable which I'm planning to implement these weeks are this:

Weekdays -
3:30-4:00 Eat, chill
4:30-5:30 - relax
5:30-6:30 - study
 break.. 6:30-9 or 10 study

Sleep from 10-4 or 5 am.. study from 4 or 5 am -8:30 am

I'm willing to take this so called risk of burning out.. I'm drinking huge amounts of water, eating fruit and veggies, and also nuts to help with energy supplies..


also the ss I'm aiming for Chem is 25-35.. chem is not my strong subject.. obviously

anyone think I can accomplish this massive feat? what do you guys think

help a brother out homies..

edit: I feel like shit posting this on ATARNotes as most of you students are the elite..

Haha, don't post that line when your sig has this line:

ATAR Aim: 99.95

I'm sure others are getting the same feeling from reading it

Your not really stuffed. I know people who don't study till the night before and still get good scores...It depends how effectively your studing. personaly my timetable would be;
-9.00am-3.00pm (school)
-3.30pm-4.00pm (eat/chill)
-4.00pm-5.30pm (study)
-5.30pm-6.00pm (chill)
-6.00pm-8.00pm (study)
-8.00pm-9.00pm (prep for bed)
-9.00pm-10.00pm (study)
10.00pm (bed time)
And i wouldn't study before school!!!! i'm aiming for a high atar! but not 99.95 (thats a goal so many people each year people fail to succeed. (wish you luck)

^ I don't think 5.5 hours of studying is recommended (maybe in the couple of weeks before the exam, but even that is stretching it imo). I know plenty of high achievers and not many studied 5.5 hours a day, most were 2-3 and maybe up to 4-5 just before SACs/exams. I also wouldn't recommend 2 hours straight work, it usually doesn't work, especially if you have another hour of study to "look forward to" later and have just had a 1.5 hour block previously.

Study smart, don't study long.

well that's how I would study ( I really like work/ pushing my self) but you could have like 15 minute breaks every so often etc. but yeah what VegemitPi said is the best thing to go at it.
