WHAT should i do ?

[AbominableMowman]

just a random idea
is that you could get a disk a have say your physics text book on the computer
so it looks like your studying by when your family leave the room you can play games or talk to people
I used to do that


lol jokes im doing that right now

LOL SAME.

Chemistry:
Make your own firework.

LOL
(but seriously don't you'll probably blow your own face off)

To any 2013ers reading this - PLEASE do not panic, you most definitely do not need to do any of this to get a high ATAR score

I'd hope not. This is just crazy. Part of me is hoping that it's a joke.

That sounds bad. How are you dealing with the pressure? Do you find that it's too much sometimes?

My parents pressure me too, but in more of a "study in your room" way. So, sometimes I just pretend to study. (Novel hidden in my textbook etc etc.) Though at the same time, I do get my work done etc.

Do whatever you need to do to take a break and relax - even if it means going against your parents/family's wishes sometimes.
And FlorianK is right - The khanacademy videos are a more chillaxed way of learning. (I zone out sometimes, then replay the video)

dont ask about the pressure man. but i'll surely check the Khanacademy out. thank you.

:/
good luck with everything then. christ.

[AbominableMowman]

Wait are you in Year 11 this year? Or are you Yr 12....

[Shenz0r]

Well if you keep working like this for the next couple of months, you're going to burn out... Not kidding.

Are you sure you haven't rushed through the syllabus? The course for each subject is designed to be completed in 7-8 months, instead of two...especially for the Science subjects.

[Planck's constant]

hey guys,

so eversince my 3&4 exams in November i've had absolutely no life.
i've fully completed the syllabus of -
-Chemistry
-Biology
-Further Maths
-Physics
-English (read all my books and their text guides and some prac essays).

what should i do for the rest of  the year during class time other than prepare for SAC's etc?
Besides these i also do 2 hours of UMAT everyday.

Before i can advise you, i would like to see your ATAR Notes test results

Evangelion Zeta will test you in English.
Thushan will test you in Chemistry.
Bazza16 will test you in Biology.

We'll take it from there.

[FlorianK]

thank you for the suggestions FlorianK. As much as i would like to chill out there is just too much pressure from my family.

ok, well I guess you won't take our advise to do nothing until the school starts, but you definetly should do some sort of relaxing stuff. Because now you are definetly in stress and that releases adrenalin, which makes your body release cortisol and this is bad in terms of long-time exposure.
However, long-term exposure to cortisol damages cells in the hippocampus this damage results in impaired learning. Furthermore, it has been shown that cortisol inhibits memory retrieval of already stored information

However for all the other students reading this. The information above is not an excuse not to study!

Anyways, I don't really understand why you really need to study anymore until school starts. You are already 8 month ahead of most of the state and you can start practice exams later on in the year.
However when you're finished with the methods course make sure to do the below, cause it is actually fun:

[nisha]

DON'T do any more study. Close the books right now.

You will regret this later. This kind of pressure leads of you breaking down right, when exams are around the corner. Take heed. Close da book.

[TrueTears]

the important question is: do you enjoy this much 'study'? If you enjoy it, then continue. However if you're being forced to study and do not enjoy it then stop immediately, it will do you no good if you're doing something you don't enjoy. Essentially just do the things that interests you.

[WhoTookMyUsername]

Stop studying so hard. I advise all of my students to not touch study and rest up in december. I didn't start studying till midway through January and I did fine (i left it a bit late though, i advise starting around now, but if you're already started, have a break!)

[Jeggz]

 This is a really random query treystorm, are you curry by any chance? Cos I totally understand curry pressure but seriously.. . as repeatedly stated above, CHILLAX MATE!!
