Hey mate, if you feel really shit, don't push yourself, just take a rest. Go with passive study if you need to, like, reading over notes or mistakes you've made in previous exams, instead of actively doing new questions.

Because if you're really sick, you're going to feel real lethargic when you study, making it damn inefficient - you're not going to burn new information into your mind. You can use that time instead to rest and recover, until you feel energetic enough to study again.

To be honest I don't find setting a quota of exams to do very helpful - just do as many as you can in that time frame, you don't want to stress and rush over exams without going back through them thoroughly, so you can meet your quota. Going over less than 15 exams extremely thoroughly can really push your score up very rapidly, more quickly than by doing 20 practise exams over the week.

I think you're putting too much stress on yourself, take some time to rest, because that's what your body needs at the moment.

Agree 100% with the above post. In addition, the fact you got 50 in bio makes me think that you would have been studying consistently throughout the year, it is ok to take a couple days off or maybe just read some notes

From what I have heard from current mhs students, Bazza does not simply "rest" :P


But seriously, you need to rest :) Shenz0r's advice is gold, studying whilst sick will not only make yourself feel worse and take longer to recover, but also you will actually gain very little from your studying...

Get better soon :)
