    gym and hsc?

    I do athletics too and my running schedule hasn't changed all year, with 1-2 hours a session 6 times a week. As long as you manage your time wisely throughout the day 1.5 hours won't set you back. Realistically, you have something like 15 waking hours. Having only 13.5 of them available to study...

    Thank god I don't do any sciences lel. Yeah I do but I did poorly in trials English so I'll have to rethink my exam strategy I think.

    It's BS, they never update it with the copyrighted material. If you don't have the right to reproduce it don't put it in the exam!!! It's the same for me with modern, none of the sources are printed so I can't access 1/4 of the paper!

    But if the innate quality is there, then surely, with enough effort, you can reproduce essays in similar modules? Well time to get grinding for those sciences man, good luck!

    Bruh those raw marks are really good! Just work through it slowly. 19 days till it starts. Plenty of time for 5 essays.

    I have 27 left (with one more to do today) so that means I've done 72! In retrospect, that's a lot of past papers ahahaha.

    Oh that's fine, I personally work best when I have my day planned to the minute but that's just me being a control freak. I've worked well off lists in the past! How are you finding it so far? Are you getting everything done? And ahahahahaha ofc I'm serious. My mate's brother did it and he was...

    Oh wow that's a really good idea! Wish I had thought of this ahead of time lel.

    Yes! It's super effective. MAke sure it's specific though. Don't just say 8-11 Math Set out what past paper you will do! 12-3 English Specify what essay you're going to refine! Specificity is key when it comes to planning, else nothing gets done.

    Yeah, me too, but I've been pretty intense since I was a little kid (thank god for mum and dad). The jump is overrated if you're used to studying, I think.

    Lol the absolute last thing I'd be advocating is trying to regurgitate a response that's irrelevant to the question. The point of the essay plan is to give you a scaffold off which you can frame any thesis is given on that topic. And it goes without saying you need background knowledge...

    Hey, I definitely can! Give me a bit of time between today and tomorrow and I'll get onto it :) In terms of applying it to whatever topics your doing, I recommend looking at all the past papers from 2001-2014 with the syllabus right next to it. Modern examiners aren't very creative with their...

    Well in many ways writing them and researching them is the practice! I personally get more out of reading all my essays twice in forty minutes than writing one down in the same amount of time. When I write stuff down I usually just zone out and copy the words, but If I read I tend to be more...

    I just read over them once or twice a day tbh, I paid particularly close attention to my Weimar one because I knew with about 85% certainty it'd be asked, and my 'causes of the conflict' for Conflict in Europe (bc that's about as far as we had gone at that point). Ended up getting both in the...

    To be honest, as long as you do the work consistently throughout the year (and this applies to all subjects) you won't feel the full brunt of it! Accelerated 4U tho, woah.

    The markers can change wording around, but the same core topics remain the same. I'll go over Germany. 1. Collapse of the Weimar Republic For example, Weimar, every question will be on the collapse of the republic. Looking at your syllabus, it does not ask/care about social life in Weimar...
