How are you using your holidays?

For the class if 2011 mainly - looking to see how you all will be using the holidays before yr 12? My plan was to balance the normal holiday activities by reading all English texts and starting notes on unit 3 for the other subjects.

You?

I'm pretty much like you. Hopefully finish reading my English texts before school starts and start on my Unit 3/4 subjects - making notes and reading through the textbooks. Though as you point out - all in moderation, I don't plan to be studying all holidays.

My 1/2 exams start tomorrow and goes for about a week, after that school finishes for me - I'll have a good break and then begin to study probably late December/or early January.

well my exams finish on Friday then we go straight into transition for 2 weeks so I'll have some maths to chew on for a while :D

I think I will probably chill for the first week in hols by doing absolutely nothing or catch up on some gaming then start Accounting, read my English text and get a bit ahead in Methods with my tutor

My school sets exams so they are like the real VCAA exams - hence, English being the first one. I have 4 exams in 2 days - English (i.e. 3 hour exam), Methods Exam 1 (1 hour), Biology and Methods Exam 2 (2 hours)... =\ I don't know why my school had to organise English and Methods on the same day.

Nah I'll work the same regardless. A 45+ in BM will only affect me in confidence and the actual ATAR score, I wont work less or anything in the others due to it.

Well it's more important for me, as I'm only doing 5 subjects + Uni Chem, so if I go bad in BM, then I have to do well in all my top 4!
As far as Exams:
Friday: BM 3/4
Monday: Chem
Tue: Methods 1
Wed: English & Methods 2
Thur: Ethics (RE), GMA and Physics

1 More day to go!!!
