You should be studying for your year 12 subject, but your year 11 subjects don't necessarily take priority.

If there is anything I learnt from last year, don't slack this week, use it, utilise it. When you get back to school you won't be able to get as much done as you can now, as you will be tired and still be learning stuff for your yr11 subs.

I've been studying intensively for my 3/4 subjects.

I've been neglecting my 1/2 subjects. I intend to continue neglecting them.

My focus is set on the 3/4 exams.

I'll do the set holiday homework the day before it is due, wing any sacs (or just study in the morning of the sac) etc.
Of course that means making as much use of unit 1/2 class time as I can. I wouldn't recommend neglecting them to the extent I am if you feel you won't be able to do well with the minimal amount of study in your 1/2 subjects.

Definitely get going on studying for your 3/4 subject though - exams are looming closer and closer.

... 1/2 subjects? PSSSH.

Spam your 3/4 subject as hardcore as you can.

iim  catching up  on holiday homework here, trying to free as much time to study for my 3/4's. Try not  to slack too much, you'r gonna turn it into a habit and yr 12 will only make it worse.

In contrast I priotise my 1/2s heavily. I've even begun [u3] chem and a tad bit of [u3] methods.

If anything English is heavily neglected as I find studying TR/Context useless considering it's all different in y12.

NB - this is because I've finished my 3/4 and there's a lack of resources for a new SD :/

Or do neither...take a breather and re-load for another term. :)

Then you can start galloping down Flemington's straight and leave all other students for dead once the term starts. ;)

It's not really a term for the 3/4, its 3.5 weeks of school. That's why you have the break as a couple of days at the start of this holidays (remember it should have been only a couple). Then get kicking for the 1.6 weeks that would have been left of the holidays. Then no one will be able to catch you.

Yep there's a number of theories and techniques but at the end of the day, if you're a solid crammer do what works best for you*. :P
