Is it too late?..

Hey guys, just wondering if it was too late to start studying for year 12... I don't know what happened but I've been procrastinating so bad for the past month and a half. Was just wondering if anyone had a study timetable or any tips on how to get motivated to study.

Thanks in advance for all the tips and helpful comments  :)

To motivate myself, i usually just say to myself "The more work you do now, the more time you will be able to spend studying at school, and so i will also be able to understand the concepts more." (i also usually treat myself to a special treat when i do alot of work during the day (E.g, have a small bowl of ice cream, but this is only once a week or so)

I made this timetable that i follow each day (unless i'm having a bludge day where im basically on cod all day :P)

If you start studying tonight and continue consistently every night until your final exam, you can still get a 99.95

Definitely not too late. Learning things by yourself before you learn them in class makes such a massive difference, even if you just read ahead on the night before.

LOL. In all seriousness, yeah, there's plenty of time. I started diligently around the 20th, probably later. Didn't feel like I was behind at all.

..... I just did my holiday homework which was the bare minimum, no essay writing at all/going ahead and learning year 12 concepts. It's too early to tell. Similarly, sometimes starting now can make you burn out later... Don't feel all hope is lost O_O

nah you can cop a 35+ in a subject by studying for it the day before the exam

that said if you're not a fan of 15 praccys the day before the exam you should do a bit of work now

some people only use the summer holidays to do homework given by their schools + reading English texts

Therefore by starting now you're already a step ahead~ :D
