How much are YOU going to study before exams?

[iNerd]

if ur gonna sleep at 9 then ull still get 6 hours. I dont think that rule of every hour of sleep before midnight is worth 2 hours if they are in the same sleep.

By this I mean if you take an afternoon nap for 1 hour, it would be worth 2 hours, so long that you wake up after that nap and work then go back to sleep. Because your biological clock doesnt know when "midnight" is if ur waking up at 3am.

it's actually worse to take a short nap then return to studying.

how th' hell do yu' turn off for one hour and wake up anyway? I can never nap...ever...totally incapable

IMO "exam study" is much easier than learning the course for the first time. The work you need to do is very much set out in stone: you only need to pump practice exams and examine your mistakes after each one. It's the simplest part of the entire 3/4 course.

well.. after i revise all of englang and pe.. so second week on! but other subjects yes

i just need to go to a library with whoever will not distract me with a set of practice exams, say 3 for that day, and just go through them, it's not too bad. unlike memorising things for a sac you've never learnt before, or even just doing text book questions of a repeated topic/problem, so tedious.
practice exammmzzzz

Good luck everyone! So many people doing 10 hours + a day...
Just remember doing more work doesn't necessarily equate to a higher ATAR so don't overdo it - just do enough such that you won't regret not doing enough.

What is swot-vac??

Stands for "Study WithOut Teaching Vacation"

I've always wondered what it stood for... I knew what it meant, so I checked it up during my swot-vac in year 12 Harhar

Something to block VN perhaps?

Just asked to get banned

People have done that before haha

+1 (cbf getting the url for my big thumbs up pic)

but i was thinking even more secluded.. become a recluse for two weeks in the outback with nothing but books and a harddrive full of practice exams on my hand-cranked laptop?

haha yesss that would be so good, so not happening though.
but i don't mind, i wont be working all the time, im still gonna go on facebook, and play on the internet, see people and stuff

I was playing fallout 3 for a few hours a day before my english exam

You don't have to study 10 hours a day to do well!

Absolutely. However working on exam technique and error-elimination can be quite difficult-but that is a personal thing.

That's definitely an extreme case - to ask to be banned from VN.

VN is my study.

Seriously...why read the textbooks when you have VN.

[Visionz]

VN is a great resource. I think being a regular here has given me an advantage. If I wasnt wasting my time on VN I would be wasting it on some other website so I dont think VN is the problem. I blame my addiction to the internet for lost study time.
