Dude thats like 16 and half hours...





For each subject im going to do a past paper each day and write an essay each day. Should be sufficient cos i dont want to burn out. That would be around 6 hours a day of work. (methods 3 hours chem 1 hour bio 1 hour english 1 hour

Probs... wake up 9-10am and chill for a bit until zombie mode stops. Study 1-2 hours, take 30 min break, then another 1-2, 30 min break, repeat until 9-10pm. Which should be about ~7-8 per day. Days with lectures (which will be half of my holidays) will probably only have 2-3 hours study

yep this is what i want to do.
if you think about it, if your up from 10am and chose to do nothing from 10pm onwards, that's 12hours... cut out an hour break per meal/snack is still 9hours... And then another set of 30minute rests is still so much time!
it's actually amazing if you plan your days well, really hope we can achieve this:)
But i'm not studying on the days i have lectures (may just do derrick ha methods, and then neap chem, thats only 2 days), and when i go back to school i'll spend half of the after school times resting/light reading, so my body can relax for some periods!

guys, we have so much time, i think we can achieve our goals or atleast close to for many subjects
(though i wont be able to do well at englang at all.. haha but yeah)

hopefully during the holidays i can study from 9am - 3pm, like a normal school day
break time afterwards for a bit
then study 1-2 hours, if i feel like it
then after dinner --> FREE TIME!! :D

my studying is mainly going to consist of making summary notes, doing checkpoints/practice questions, practice essays

theres about 30 days free for study left before exams. If you could manage 8 hours a day of study thats 50 hours for each of 5 subjects. 50 hours is the recommended in class time for each unit and the recommended homework time for each unit. This is what you will do without even straining but anything more than this is where the benefits must really show. Imagine 50 hours more than this.

Youd need to spend every second waking hour studying though.

WAKE UP, 2 hours study, 1 hour off, 2 hours study, 4 hours off, 2 of study, 1 off, 2 of study, 2 hours rest, SLEEEEP. That would be a good day.

I intend to do about 4-5 exams per day, say averaging 2 hours each including marking, comes to 8-10 hours per day.

Also, how long do people have swotvac for? At my school it starts about a week before the English exam, it doesn't seem like much to me.

Theres more than 30 days for sure... for written exams that is.
28 October for English so you have 24 +28 =52 days . UNless ur saying you have 30 days of actual revision cos the course hasnt finished yet

^ i counted there being 33 days for me, excluding school days, lecture days, being hangover days (going out a few times) and uni workshops.
so 33 days is like close to 200 hours if you did 6 hours per day.. a lot can be done though.
