Class of 2025 (2025 HSC CHAT) (24 Viewers)

[Tony Stark]

For math and physics, practice is really important
I like to spend time in class for physics listening to what my teacher says, and understanding the concept. It is hard for me to listen while writing, so I usually just write notes from the slides after school.

For every subject, I recommend at least reading the textbook chapter you do in class as well as the next section, it is better to read and then listen in class and then write notes, and then practice after understanding the topic.

For english, make sure you can identify and write a simple T.E.E.L about basically any question in like 10 minutes (or whatever structure your teachers recommend).

For art, just try to think in an abstract way. The smallest symbol or visual technique can mean a lot, so make sure you are able to recognize techniques and analyse quickly. Understand the frames. As you learn about different artisits and their artworks, try to find a few artists that you really like, because your extended response in the HSC should include at least 2 artists and 2 of their artworks.

You could try those videos on youtube with like "Asian mom helps you study" - i thought it wouldn't work for me but when it's late at night and i'm procrastinating i throw it on and end up fearing for my life lmao.
Erm also timers do help so you can be mindful of how much time you're spending on doing things and how long your breaks are- it helps you not waste too much time as well.
Before you sit down to start studying, make sure you've got all your homework/study organised, you grab a bottle of water or beverage (preferably a healthy one but you do you- i personally have a bottle of water and a cup of tea), put some snacks on your desk, make sure it's well lit and clean and if during the day and weather permits- well ventilated. Wear comfortable clothing- but not 'lazy/home clothes' as that can make you feel 'informal' so actually get dressed/ changed, wash your face, do your hair and then try and get started. If you throw yourself into something with no plan you'll get a little stuck.
When motivation fails rely on discipline, because motivation fluctuates, allow yourself a proper timetable or way of doing things, like a 'ritual' when you're motivated and when you lose focus, your body should become accustom to the structure you have set for yourself.
BUT REMEMBER- to always take breaks and understand when you're body may be too tired and take a 20 min nap or get out of your study space and chill for a little bit before getting back into work

Hope this helps

tbh my parents prob wouldn't be bothered to watch it and also they'll prob question it and I don't want them to know that I have procrastination issues cause then their gonna get so mad at me, lecture me and I'll have no social life or anything
