As soon as u get assessment tasks do them, trust me I used to always go "ooooouf! 3 WEEKS PLENTY OF TIME" BUT OHHH MY LORD IT IS NOT!!! also ensure that if ur a weekend learner then get the stuff u leave during the week DONE! In terms of study, I find that if u have understood the topic u have learnt and are running out of time a 6 hour cram is fine for most 2u subjects in my perspective. 3u maths and 4u maths may require well over a weeks preperation tho, just depends on ur exam methods.

I just do whatever homework, whenever i'm in the mood, which most of the time I am not. This however usually ends up with a half assed attempt or none at all... So I wouldn't recommend it, but it gets me by! :p

i agree,i find that if you understand it first time round, it wouldnt be that difficult to absorb the information in.

to answer nicks one heheh.... betr not share it here ill tell u at school or on net lolz but yeh its quiet high lets jus say and its according to my perfect world :)
and to answer the person with the choirs.... speak to your parents come up with a solution, things aorund the house can wait... ur hsc doesnt come twice? sit down have a chat with em... may sound korny but dude it'll work... u got ur hsc this year and you'll get most out of it if you start changing your study environment with no distractions.... if your not a library person, i suggest you become one for like anothr 6 months hehehe allocation of time to study's is important as you would know now... just go to libraries so then ur parents cant bother you to work aorund the house :) hope it works mate

Timetables suck. I used to spend more time making timetables than I did studying. All you need is to do a bit of each subject each day, and try not to do timewasting shit like making your work nice and pretty, or doing homework which isn't going to be checked instead of harder homework which will be.
