Hey everyone!
I think this is my second post, I made another topic with regards to motivation and what to do to push through till the end, etc..

Now, I was wondering, where do I begin with studying over these next 2 weeks? Where do I start, what do I do, how do I split subjects, etc?

I have school based practice exams in the second week of the holidays and possibly some lectures held and melb Uni with regards to final exams (havent decided whether to go or not - are these worth going to?)

But if someone could help me out in which direction to go in, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks heaps!

Set aside 2 hours per subject per day. Get through 3 subjects a day, and in that time cover some revision and a practice exam/exam style questions.

Did you get a break these two weekend days?  I found personally that taking a few days off before getting super into studying helped tremendously, in that I felt motivated and fresh into doing things.

EZ's advice is GOLD. Take a small break. Then begin doing a trial per subject per day.
Consistency is key!

Make a timetable so that you know exactly how much you are doing of each subject throughout the two weeks. Remember, you're human, so allow some time each day to relax and do something fun. :)

Thanks very much guys, really appreciate the feedback!

2 week break wasn't as productive as I had hoped but I still got some solid study done as well as some practice exams held at my school!

22 days until my first exam.. any other tips with regards to studying?!

Thanks :)
