Year 12 is the year where most of you will first learn to study. And lots of you might end up doing it in a sub-optimal way.
Most important thing to consider is that everyone learns differently and there's no need to spend too much time reading advice about the perfect study technique. Best practices for organisation require a system that doesn't fail when you're not feeling 100% committed. This means when it's a rainy day on a weekend (and your inner productivty geek is showing) and you think you can set up the best study timetable ever, ask yourself: will I stick to this on a sunny Friday afternoon?
Be prepared to learn how to collaborate and share. Being overcompetitive is silly, because at most you're just hurting your cohort, and then the rest of the state who does collaborate will just do better. In that sense, be prepared to use tools like VCENotes, Merspi, and Bored of Studies, or any other online platform, as it's the best way to reach other VCE kids!
I've noticed that some schools are banning VCENotes -- if you are the budding salesman, you should say something along these lines to your teachers: "look I think [this website] is a great resource and should even be implemented into the year 12 induction program". Deer Park (and others in the future) are doing it with Merspi -- it's a great case for schools that don't have the resources to have absolutely comprehensive help and support. Try to get your school on board, because the more people are sharing, the more we all learn together.
