For those of you in university, did you study more during the HSC year, or do you study more now at uni?

less at uni, but you have to do it over 3years, whereas hsc you just study hard for 1 month then its over

I probably do about the same amount of study. Although I definitely do a lot more external reading for uni than I did for high school.

i study lots less in uni and somehow go better???

like i only got a uai of 95.75 and now i'm on an 86 average for actuarial and finance @ macq. but then again it's only first yr so it's gonna drop hectically over the next 3yrs.

as people have said it's more about consistency. u don't have to study that mch if u just do consistent work (keep up with tutes etc)

To be honest I don't study that much, it's just that I buckle down when it comes down to stuvac.
