Did i choose the right subjects? And how to cope with year 12?

[sambo]

Hey there, uhm i have two questions..
1. How do I stay on track with year 12, should i make a study timetable? Sleep early? Do i revise over everything i had learnt that day or do i have certain nights for certain subjects? Should i manage my books in certain ways? Im freaking out and its still summer holidays! I have a bunch of homework for next year, will there be this much all next year??

2. Have i chosen the right subjects for year 12 to be able to get into a bachelor of law... My classes are:
-Legal Studies
-Psychology
-English
-Business Management
-Maths

Any tips from anyone who have done these classes or a bachelor of law??

THANK YOU!!

I would suggest that for getting into law you have chosen appropriate subjects. I don't recall hearing about any prerequisites bar English, are there any? (make sure you are doing them)

At this point in time I'm sure you feel you are overloaded with holiday homework, but in reality you probably aren't to the extend you think you are.

Think about it like this; you have ~ 7 weeks 'til week 1 of term of next year. Some school terms are only slightly longer than this so you have plenty of time!

From what I have heard psychology is a rote learning subject and requires quite a deal of study to do well. Have a read through A General Guide For Psychology. and Psychology Resources

Business management can be performed well in once you have a good grasp of the definitions and know how to interplay them together, you should put a great deal of effort into practicing particular questions as marks can be easily lost on the Exam when they are worth 10 marks 6 marks etc. I certainly believe you should use Shinny's notes for BM: Business Management 3/4 Summary Notes by shinny

Also, here is a guide to doing well in BM: Another guide on getting a good study score for BM :)

For English I advise you to have a look through this: English Guides, Sample Pieces, Tips and Resources

I won't give you any particular advice in English because I hate it with a passion.

As for legal studies, I know nothing about it but have a read through the stickied threads in the LS section: Legal Studies

To perform well in year 12 you need to keep motivated and remain physically and mentally healthy, whilst being relaxed. This may involve doing exercise, having a good sleeping patter (people suggest not going to bed after 12am) and maintaining sociable behaviour. Also, make sure you have a bit of fun, for many year 12 is the most enjoyable year of their lives so make it a good one. It's not the be all end all of your life if you don't perform as well as you like, just try your best and take everything as it comes.

Finally, which maths? Futher, Methods, Specialist?

I didn't read Phy124's post, so I'm probably simply re-writing some of what he wrote, but here's my answer:

I'll do them in reverse,

2. Your subjects are fine for a law degree. No law degrees have pre requisites.

1. Just manage it however you like. I had one writing in book for each subject as well as a plastic pocket folder for each subject, each a different colour and that worked for me. As for sleep, I tried to get to bed before 12:00 most nights, but shit happens. Just work hard and listen in class and you'll be fine.

Anyway, good luck man!
