I usually do 2-3 hours per night plus the spares I have at school (usually around 50mins) so roughly 3-4 hour day. But that's still considering it's start of term and haven't got much homework yet. And I feel like i don't know what more i could be doing for extra studying, it doesnt seem appropriate to start doing exam questions. Any ideas?

Do questions for your upcoming SACS, write as many essays as you can etc.

To me that sounds as boring as staring at a blank wall.
How would you make it more fun?
And doing this qu; should they just be from Checkpoints?

Lol have no idea how to make it fun, but i guess how else are you going to know if you know the content and you need to make sure you are exposed to all kinds of questions.
I did questins from textbook, A+ notes, checkpoints, A+ exams and ATARnotes study guides - not all at the same time.

Who else has tomorrow off due to the strike? Although, I'll probably be studying all day anyway. :P

Great opportunity to catch up on homework in which all due the next day! Thank god for strike...
Although, school library is open, thinking might be a good idea to go there, less distractions... Hehe

Methods was stressing me out. As a result I've fallen behind in some of my other subjects :(

But no matter, I'll devote the weekend to smashing methods and catching up. I know it'll be a crappy weekend, but I'll be very glad I did it :)

Other than that, it's going smooth so far. I imagine the stress might start kicking in when SAC's start coming in. My first one is on the 21st, so not far away.

Oh that's no good! With Methods I found that if you properly understand that basic concepts, then you'll be able to tackle any question! So maybe yea this weekend try and get all the concepts under your belt and then maybe you'll have more time for other subjects  :) Wow! 21st? I swear compared to alot of other schools, my SACS are quite pushed back..my first one is on the 6th of March!

Yeah, I just never asked questions and lost motivation. I actually had a proper look the other day and actually got it all. It's just smashing the questions out now :)

Even though I said I'm behind, I'm up to date in terms of where class is, but a little behind where I want to be. :)

I don't feel the stress JUST yet, although it's starting with methods. I guess I'm on the same boat as Kesh in terms of motivation, but I'm going to devote time to going through the areas covered so far and making sure I understand the basic concepts so I can tackle any question like Machi is saying.

And exciting weekend of methods ahead for me too :P
