Nah, but we do individually. Our teacher doesn't check them or anything.
The HSC is past the point where you can study just using your book.

lol i didnt think that was what the OP was asking..

i thought they were asking whether you categorise making summaries as a form of studying, not whether their class at school makes study summaries.

correct me if im wrong, but that's just how it seemed to me..

ah okay. I was just confused what you initially meant.

And yeah I classify note taking as a form of studying.

What kinds of summaries do you guys do? I need ideas...

I mainly refer to my subject's study design (this is for VCE, don't know what HSC students use) and make notes with the study design dotpoints as the headings. And I love diagrams and flashcards!! It makes studying so much more fun... :D

Well Study design = syllabus for us.

I use syllabus dot points to make notes :)

but is that all you do? Do summarise the summaries? Hehehe
Um, when I have the syllabus dot points, I make my notes according to that.

After making my notes, I read over them and do past papers :)

I'd classify study summaries as preparation of studying. You have to actually 'study' them after you make them. Henceforth, procrastination comes into play.

i agree but not completely you learn from making your summaries so in a way you are still studying

Depends on the subject really. For some subjects such as the sciences, I found making summaries quite useful. For the humanities/maths, I found that practising essays and past paper questions respectively were more productive. I don't recall making any summaries through a collective effort, but certain notes from Bored were very useful for me when it came to preparing for my trials.
