guys how do yall lock in, i cannot focus when studying, like my mind is always doing other things when im tryna focus
Try going to a library or cafe and use study apps like YPT to track your focus. Mainly recommend quiet spaces with minimal noise and DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC - You won't have music in your exams unfortunately.

Yeah. That is so true to realise that in your exams, you won't be able to listen to music.
Music is obviously a thing that can keep yourself motivated but it should be done moderately. I remember a couple weeks ago, this teacher was hosting a year meeting about healthy study habits, and in her presentation, she mentioned how some Yr 12s she knew were overwhelmed in their trials, doing long exams without music :(

does anyone have any advice as to how to study form other people’s notes? For prelims I downloaded a bunch of resources but nothing really transferred into my brain…

I suggest using other people's notes to make ur own summaries and put it in ur own words. Also borrow stuff from textbooks, etc so that u can make them ur own. I feel like that will help u remember things better

I remember reading that rereading notes is largely inefficient and that it does a very good job on tricking your brain into thinking that you are productive. Your best bet imo is to use these study notes and turn it into flashcards and quiz yourself using past papers and textbook in spaced sessions.
