How much are YOU going to study before exams?

[vexx]

Hi,

Just wondering how much everyone will be studying during SWOTVAC and during holidays, to get a rough idea of some of the top students and how much they are doing! This is not for any school days, purely for days off including weekends.
I was planning to perhaps do 3 subjects per day either an exam or review for each, which could be anywhere from 3-7hrs! With a few rest days along the way.

But what about you?

Vexx.

25 hours a day

probably in a couple 'bursts' of 2-3 hours each day? apparently it's good for your memory.

In my case, since Accounting is my only 3/4 subject, I am planning to study and do PRACTICE EXAMS for Accounting throughout the holidays (like about 50% of my holidays). I would probably do a good 3-hour session of Accounting per day (making notes, doing a few practice exams.) I already started hitting the PRACTICE exams and stuff... since we've finished the course, and yet the exam is like 2 months away... LOL.

I find it hard to do 1 SUBJECT for hours on end... change subjects after a while.

25 hours a day

real dedication there. liking it...

hmmm about 6-7 hours a day, 2-3 hours at a time (ie, a normal school day) with two days a week off.

I honestly dont know. Im sure it will all click into gear though and I will turn into a studyfreak.
I will at least do all the VCAA past exams for all my subjects.
I really think practice exams and reading assessors reports are the best way to go because you come across the same stuff over and over and it highlights any gaps in your notes.
Reading the assessors reports over and over is the key to replicating the formulaic responses my subjects require.
Theres nothing better than putting it into practice and working til you get as close to 100% on your practice exams as possible. You can read and write notes as much as you like but that doesnt help you at all with practicing your recall.

Im actually pretty pumped for crunch time. Gonna be cool as ice, a mastermind.

Probs 3-5 hours a day at most.  Realistically, probs 3ish.

Haha that's so good, i want to be a studyfreak.
I have to put in extra time because i've done close to zero for a month! Ahh studyfreak here we come.

I reckon I'll do 5-6 hours... try and keep in the rythm of school or I'll end up doing nothing

Having breaks is really good. Doing study durations of 1-4 hours and having a break of 5-30 minutes is better for retaining information, so you can relax and think about it etc. Scientifically proven.

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

I think we're told this 1000000 times in VCE

Realistically probably 2 exams max per day (depending on which exams, further maybe 3 or 4 in a day) and maybe 30 mins to 1 hr on writing out notes or reading over notes

[Blakhitman]

I never plan this stuff.

Some days I do heaps..some days I cbf...

Same I havent done a whole lot recently.

Oh shit I think I read it wrong. Ive been doing 5-30mins study then taking 1-4 hours of rest.
