Homework vs study
QC:
I personally think of homework (similarly to others) as set work by a teacher, usually I put this as a lesser priority as studying which I see as either working ahead or working on the things that we are currently working on. I think of study as understanding the concepts more broadly and more deeply rather than just doing sets 1-3 in some textbook or whatever. As mentioned earlier, study can also just be working on your assessments that are ahead.

Just on the subject of study, I'm struggling to make a study timetable where I will actually have a routine after school each day and on the weekend. Currently I'm spending wayyyy too long on one thing and running out of time for all the other subjects. Do you have any suggestions on how to build a study timetable an some more efficient methods of studying
Thankyou!!

Welcome to the forums Ellie! Rui's given some good advice above, let me add this to your reading list! It's a guide on creating a study timetable - I reckon it could help you get into a good routine that works for you! ;D

When I say that, I mean allocate more time to a few things every day, rather than less time to achieving multiple things. The main suggestion is to timetable using 1.5hr - 2hr intervals instead. Because by what you're saying, you're implying you tend to get started on one thing and want to stick to it. So having timetables based on 30min - 1hr intervals will probably be ineffective.
After 2 hours, you should pretty much be drained. So you're bound to be ready for a proper rest.
Make sure you note down any priorities as well, e.g. studying for an upcoming test or handing in an assignment. These might need special time slots allocated.
Also, when timetabling, do include dinner and what not in it as well. And remember that you may just have a thing called 'life' damaging it, so don't timetable too strictly either. Always give some room for 'life' instead of overpack your timetable.
Main takeout is what I boldfaced - rest are just little bits of advice.

Alright! Homework is set tasks, unfinished class work and I'd even chuck in assessments there - in short, homework is set by your teacher/assigned in class
Alternatively, study is personally set! In saying this, you may ask your teachers or other students past or present how to go about studying and how to write summaries (take a bit of getting used to, my friend!), but in general this is on your own terms. Studying includes summary notes, anything outside class set work and revision/preparation for upcoming exams!
Hope this helped! Maybe checkout That Student Life Australia on YouTube! They sure helped me a heap with clarification and they have a whole bunch of study tips from an ATAR 95+ perspective!
Good luck :)
Edit edit edit: In terms of timetable, I find going 1 hour first up set aside for homework to get that out of the road! Then depending on how many subjects, your personal schedule and what suits you, pop in 30mins of productive studying for each subject is a personal suggestion of mine. Extension courses generally half the time of that since they only count for half the units! Mix it up to find what suits you!

Hey, Ellie! :)
Out of interest, have you tried using to-do lists instead of study timetables?
