NEED HELP! Study Recommendations? (1 Viewer)

[Matin]

Hey guys, I'm doing the HSC this year (2014) and I know it sounds ridiculous, but I don't actually know how to study!

My subjects are: Society & Culture, Music 1, Standard English, General Math and Business Studies.

If anyone can give me a hand by recommending a schedule/routine and general tips I would be so thankful!

Thank you!

Hi Matin, well, finding optimal way of studying does take a bit of time, so it is not in any way ridiculous, check out my guide for senior studies in the thread below, my tips for English and Maths is quite general and is applicable to Standard English and General Maths as well, it includes everything you need to know about study and preparation for HSC success

For business studies, what you could do is write out notes after you go through a dot point in class so when your exams come up, you can easily read over them to consolidate your knowledge and attempt a few exam questions as exam preparation.
For maths, just be consistent with the topics you're doing in class so do questions from the textbook at home and before exam period just do exam papers.
I don't do society but I know most people would attempt to complete a part of their major during these holidays but I'm not too sure.
Hoped that kinda helped haha.

Thank you so much! I didn't actually think anyone would reply - let alone with something incredibly useful! Haha
I will start on my creative and get back to you

Thanks again!

For maths:
Do more challenging questions
Note down any interesting/ challenging questions on a separate book so u can review before the exam.
Borrow/buy different text books e.g. excel or new century maths.
Do as much past papers u can.
Make flash cards. Make a set of flash cards with important formulas and concepts on them. u can carry these around with you to look over when you’ve got a few spare minutes. Use them to help u memorize the important formulas and concepts.
Ask Questions. If you don’t understand something then ask ur teacher/tutor as soon as possible.
Listen When Others Ask Questions. When other students ask questions make sure you listen to both the question and the answer. It may be that the student asking the question thought of something that you didn’t think of.


good luck and I'm sure you'll get 95+ in your exams

OMG YES HOW DO YOU STUDY FOR SOCIETY AND CULTURE???!!

Where are you up to with your pip?

 

[Matin]

I KNOW RIGHT?! THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT TO LEARN! And I don't even know if we need to know year 11 stuff or...?

I am so behind, omg. The only thing I have done is legit keep a LOG because I gave up in all of December after attempting to start with a questionnaire. I was just so pissed off I gave up and even now when I know I should be starting it I'm procrastinating :/

You?
