term 3 holidays. Study or relax?

[remo]

which is more beneficial?

[pi]

Study

(enough sleep is important though)

[brenden]

As with everything, a balance is always best imo.

[Stick]

You're going to need to do both, remo. Now would be the worst possible time to burn out from pushing yourself too hard, yet you need to get adequate practice in time for the exam. I intend to do 2 trials a day for Further, except for a couple of days where I will need to get some Year 11 homework done (in which I will do 1 exam).

[Furbob]

I used to do x number of exams a day then spend the rest of the day chilling out and relaxing

[paulsterio]

You'd be crazy to do only one and neglect the other.

Study only and you'll be screwed for exams cause you'll probably be depleted of energy and you won't really have a chance to rest once school starts again.

Relax only and you'll be screwed for exams too cause you would have wasted 2 weeks of valuable study time and when school starts again, you won't have anywhere near as much time.

Balance is the best

I am considering studying on the weekdays and then the weekend have a break

[Limista]

Both equally beneficial...why not try both? 

Studying helps you to consolidate what you have covered in the subject throughout the year, to decrease stress that would otherwise be your worst nightmare as the exams approach (2 weeks before the exams, you don't want to say to yourself "Crap, I wasted all that time!")

Relaxation is important as it involves engaging in something enjoyable to decrease the stress that seems to accompany studying - try meditation!

Depends on the individual. I've been severely behind on all 5 of my subjects this year, hence poor SAC scores for Methods and not as high as they could have been for Politics, hence I pretty much need to cover these courses entirely. If I'd kept up the entire year, this probably wouldn't be necessary.

I know that feel bro, I am in the same exact position for all 5 subjects!

[charmanderp]

Actually I probably should have said 4, because I've never been behind in chem. But regardless, a lot of work to do!

[Hutchoo]

[Special At Specialist]

Things would be so much less stressful if I didn't have a methods SAC on the first day back and a German oral exam on Thursday the same week.

[Biceps]

BOTH!!!

[#1procrastinator]

If you've been keeping up with the work then do both just to keep it fresh so that when you go back, you won't have to relearn everything, but don't work so hard that you get complacent or burn out or anyhting

If you're way behind like me, then it's catch up time...

LOL @ at the Old El Paso girl

And what, you guys get two weeks?
