We haven't yet finished Acidic Environment. Probably finish it in 1-2 weeks.

We just finished the Acidic Environment... so we have done half the course.

i c, so every1 has approx. finished half the HSC. Thats pretty fast. Question: if u do finish the HSC say at home, will u hav to do any work in class? will the teachers make u work even though u hav aced all the tests etc??

i just wanted to know because i'm really racing ahead and hoping to finish all the core by the end of this week.

We've done the first module and our elective and we've just had our half-yearly. We are also half-way through the course.

I go to Albury High. I'm coming first in Chem at the moment, my mark is about 87 %....... I failed chemistry in yr 11 though so it is quite an improvement.....

Good luck pranks85!!!!!!

Some schools try to get through the course quickly, others take their time. I'm not convinced that either approach is necessarily better - it comes down to the individual student IMO. Are any of you rabid supporters of either approach?

Good luck pranks85 and everyone else who's sitting their half-yearlys .

Yeah i definately agree with kini mini. I also think that you can seriously finish the HSC in say a week if you hav a two book combo (like surfing and conq chem). Do like a chapter a day in each book and you'll finish the course with flying colours. Ofcourse the only catch is that you have to learn it so its imbedded in your brain to regurgitate later. Thats what i'm doing now but i'm taking it a bit easy. You can do it if u want to, it only takes like 3 hours a day on chem, but it all depends on how desperate you are to get the UAI you want.

While theoretically possible, I think you'd most likely end up in an asylum suffering from an overdose of Board of Studies Bullshit .

3 hours a day on chem seems a little excessive, what about your other subjects?! Chem is something you can cram for due to the regurgitation - I found I had to leave memorising some things until a few days before the exam because I forgot them inside a week .

but if you finish chem in a week with 3 hours a day, you'll have the rest of your year for all your other subjects.

you'll probaly finish physics and biology (if your doing them) in the same amount of time. math and english might take longer since nearly everyone does extensions, but i think 7 weeks will be enough. and if you add all that together you'll be finished hsc in 10 weeks!!! that is if you willing to spend 3 hours a day for 10 weeks straight, its all worth it when you can have the rest of the year for fun!!!

someone should try this 10 week plan out, it might just work and change your life or you might just forget everything before the exams and...

Well, how many hours are there in a day? 24?? Right?? Wrong !!! What about what happens when you come home after school?? 8 hours are already gone (including travelling time) that leaves around say 8 hours to study till 12 oclock. 8 hours!!! thats more that enough for each subjuct, and remeber its only up till 12. I dont know about other people, but i sleep at around 2. Of course there have been times where i just cant be bothered but listening to some inspiring music usually gets me through that. There are some things however you cant miss for example *charmed* or the news or having a shower. This takes further time of your day Actually i study all day (until morning) on the weekends and then sleep for the following day.

As for your other question, memorising is quite easy if you make a revision sheet with all the answers to the syllabus. If you think that you hav memorised everything, you can answer the syllabus dot points by writing long response etc.

TOO MUCH??? i go through it everyday cos i'm ACCELERATING

actually i'm a bit sleepy now
