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!)
take his advice since you can't beat his atar-score

Bit of an understatement...

But yeah, just make sure that you're relaxed. I don't think you'd have to necessarily stop if you like it, just cut back a bit. Also watch youtube videos on your subjects if you feel you have to do something (not necessarily stuff in the course, don't "study" them) to give you a broader perspective of the subjects and develop a greater interest.

How's it disrespectful? It's a common term we use all the time for Indians and Lankans.. It's just for fun...

Again, echoing other peoples sentiments, even if you have "completed" the syllabus, I really have doubts with the quality and depth of your knowledge. As stated before, these courses are designed for a duration of 8 months for a good reason. If you studied all of it in 2 months, I'd be worried about how well everything has gone into your head.

I think you'll also get sick of the study very soon if you keep up this pace. Slow down, relax and pace yourself comfortably.

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.


You speak my language, TT
There is no such thing as too much study in your VCE year.
As long as you are working productively, maintaining motivation  and making progress, you keep going.
If you get tired, you rest and recharge.

As for OP's claim that he has completed VCE before Xmas .... Let's just say I am still processing this information :)

VCE is designed for all types of students from the weakest and least-motivated to the strongest and most motivated students. In order for the weak students to get more than 10% in the exam the course is comparibly (in terms of other countries) easier.
In terms of knowing the stuff already. I reckon he knows the stuff as well as most do after finishing the entire course. Everyone realises he/she doesn't really know/can apply stuff that is coming up in a question in their first prac exam.
I hate how people kinda doubt the OP.

I'm not really doubting him, just pointing out that having completed the syllabus doesn't necessarily mean that's the end of the work to be done, especially when it comes to having a good grasp of all the concepts etc. etc.

And also that either continuing at a high pace means that he could end up burning out or maybe deciding to take things too easy during class time is something that he should take into consideration too.

I'm speaking from experience and from others experiences as well. I never will say I'm right, but if the OP does indeed know the syllabus back to front as well as he possibly can, I stand very happily corrected and pleasantly surprised :)

There is plenty of improvement left in English.
Your 'wordiness' overshadows your ideas.
Some of the 'big words' don't  convey your intended meaning. I got the impression you were playing lottery with a thesaurus.
In short, simplify the language, strengthen the content.
