Yeah 6 hours is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long to be spending on Maths, or any one subject for that matter! I do 4U and, yes maths is a heavy workload, I make sure to never spend more than 2-3 hours a day on it. As for dropping it, I'd say stick it out for now. You don't want to have that...

If it's an 'assess' question, using the citeria is the safest way to go. And you'd need to talk about the positives and negatives of the legislation/common law/etc. Also, use cases and media reports, they convey society's opinion and as a result show whether or not justice has been achieved.

Haven't been posting anything in a while, but I may as well get back into it :) The 'week from hell' is over and though I'm pretty sure I screwed up SOR, I'm over the moon. I got physics back and I came first (91%) but so did 4 other people... It's good in that my cohort is doing well (I am...

Tutoring will be the death of me I swear :/ And this week is going to be an intense one: Bio assignment due Monday, MX2 test on Wednesday, Senior Social Wednesday night, SOR2 assignment due and in-class test on Thursday, and leadership meeting Friday morning. But on the bright side, after this...

Maths and SORII :)

SOR assignment is nearly done! Just have to do my essay plan and then I can spend the next few days just practicing my essay :) 12am studying has now become the norm, and I've started getting ridiculously tired and sick and just ugh. Should I slow down and maybe give up more weekend time to...

Ok wow my SOR assignment right now is identical to that :O but we have a different quote... Anyways, I talked about his three main texts: The Thirteen Articles of Faith, The Mishneh Torah and also the Guide for the Perplexed. For each one talk about what it is and its function (basically all...

First night stuy session that went past midnight yesterday :O stayed up doing my SOR assignment and went non-stop from 7pm-1am. As much as I'm proud of myself for staying focussed and getting SO MUCH done, I nearly fell asleep today in maths, and I was just lucky I had a study period to get a...

You're doing 12 units atm right? Personally, you have the "ideal safety net" because you have a whole 2-units to play with. Tha being said, you're doing pretty well in your subjects so you may not need it. If you feel that a subject is holding you back from doing the others properly, then drop...

I agree with this, if you move around a lot then use that to your advantage! Record your notes and put them on your phone or whatever and go for a walk while listening to them. I'll pass on something one of my teachers always tells me: "Have a conversation". It doesn't have to be with a real...

It's a fantastic ATAR if you want it to be. If you think that you put in the best effort into your HSC, then the score is great. If it gets you into your course, even better. But if you know that you could've done better, and if that's the first thing you think of when you get your results...

Well I'm handing in an assignment on Monday so if I flunk that I'll drop straight away, otherwise I'll keep it. As much as I want a good ATAR, enjoying year 12 is important to me. I don't want to regret not doing something that I loved later on... But thanks so much for your view on this!

I think it's mainly my teacher. He's a great teacher, don't get me wrong, and he knows his stuff... but he expects SO much from us. Homework is analysing 20 page articles and each assignment is around 40 pages long + an in-class essay. I guess it's helping us, but still...

Those were my initial thoughts, but SOR is taking up the most of my time and I don't think its worthwhile spending around 50% of my time on a 2U subject... Thanks though, it's a fair point.

Nek minute English is my worst subject :/ I'm hating Legal, but I'm doing well. The subject I'm completely bombing is Bio, but its fun.... :O haha thanks for the tip though, its gotten me thinking

I'm currently doing SOR2 and I'm doing well (got 98 in my yearly's and came 2nd overall for prelim), but I have 14 units this year and so far SOR2 is the most 'intense'. I've talked to people in SOR1 and they say its the most chilled subject, so I'm wondering if I should drop down... Or I could...

I've been told that Cambridge is relatively harder... but it may just seem that way because it skips all the bs and goes straight to the hard stuff

Really? I feel like the questions are good but they're either too easy or too hard and there's no middle ground. But thanks, I was worried that I should have more :)

I'm currently using the Cambridge one, and I know the authors of the textbook so I can get my hands on worked solutions and stuff... And my teacher uses the Terry Lee one during class, but I was wondering what everyone else is using? Also, I'll probably want to start looking at Excel study...

anomalousdecay, that was probably the best advice I've ever read; no joke. Thankyou! I've ddecided to stick with 14, but I've talked to my teachers and told them that I've considered dropping their subject based on half-yearly results. They said pretty much the same thing as you, to keep it and...
