How much study? (1 Viewer)

[Frostbitten]

Alrighty, ermm ermm ermm, ok I got this.

Greetings Boredofstudies community, My goal is to get into sydney uni in the advance science course. It requires an atar of 96 as an average, im only in year 11 so, just how much study should I be doing? I do physics, chem, advanced english, ext 1 maths (won't go to ext 2) economics and a tafe course in Accounting and Financial services. So yes, how much study per night, what subjects demand more pretty much, what do I have to do to get at least 96 atar...

Thx guys!

Also, that is 13 units, what should I drop the Tafe course or Eco when it comes to year 12.

As much as you need to understand everything. In year 11 (I did your subjects bar accounting), I did maybe 5 hours a week including homework and I came first at a selective school because it was productive study and I enjoyed my subjects so a lot of the course was intuitive to me. Others studied a lot more. Ultimately, you want to walk into any exam confident that you know everything- whether it takes 1 hour or 15 hours depends purely on the person.

Personally, I would drop the TAFE course but I'm biased because I love economics- choose subjects that you enjoy- it makes studying so much easier.

Drop the TAFE course (unless you HATE eco), as eco scales far better.

This pretty much. With regards to dropping, drop whatever subject your worst at. If your strong in the TAFE course, but weak in eco then dropping eco would be the way to go. However, if you are doing equally well at the TAFE course and eco, and you like them both just as much then I would lean towards dropping the TAFE course. However, I would start year 12 and wait a bit before dropping.
