hey hard,
did you finish the legal course for year 12 in the summer holidays?
i think theres a trend, finishing the course=45+ only when you study consistent through the year

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, should have finished a subby before school even started
well ye basically, although i didn't do all q's and shizz. but i knew everything before school started cause like legal is kewlz111

Looking at this thread, too many people are using 'a better social life' excuse as a motivator to finish their respective subjects early. THIS IS BAD!

I don't believe 'a better social life' is what people who finished course early had. Finishing a course early would more likely make you an outcast than anything. Everyone realises year 12 is important, if you are bludging in a class, people will simply ignore you.

The correlation between high score and finishing course early is that people who have the motivation to finish the course early usually have enough motivation to keep themselves working throughout the year. It's their attitude to try the hardest they could and then some that allows them to achieve high, not because they have less pressure.

mm well i sure wouldn't want to go through my holidayz slaving through work. that's why they call them holidayzz, cause you relax which i learnt these previous holidays.
i think this shows how people are going to be when they're older. I mean if you constantly do work even during rest periods, you are more likely to be a workaholic. But no evidence to back up if brendan asks.

I don't see how being a workaholic is such a bad thing, some people enjoy being absorbed into their work.

I agree to enjoying holidays, but you will find that in the three sets of holidays coming up, you don't really have much chance to slow down. They are more like 'study breaks', where you have a break from study from school so you can do some private study, organising and consolidation of past materials.

ye the upcoming holidays are different, but the summer holidayz were like a way to prepare for the upcoming year. Enjoy them while they last and then blast off into the year, with no breaks at all. Not even to drink water. Head down and do some fricken english. if you die well atleast you're parents won't be shocked at the horrible ENTER you have yielded.

yah obviously anyone would forget the stuff they learnt ages beforehand (cept /0 ^.^), i only finished the course in the holidays so that during the year i can study even harder ( not slack off haha). I think that way i can consolidate the things i learnt by myself and combine it with the things my teachers teach, and i'd also have more time to do extra Q's.


First spesh test for the year:
