Yeah! fellow Health Science Nerd (no offense)!!

Aiming at Medicine - anywhere in Aus., and studying my ass off as well. I've got two years to wait until I can laugh at everyone else though.

For Med, i would study 4 hours every day for 2 extra marks. Its soooo worth it in the long run.
lol none taken. so your only in year 11 yet your studying more then half the year 12's?

I've stopped timing my hours of study.

If I time myself, I get distracted and keep looking at the clock. When I'm studying, I give myself a certain amount of work to do, and I have to finish it before I rest. This way, I keep track of what I've studied, not for how long I've been sitting on my ass. :p

Yeah, year 11 and studying more. That just prooves my nerdiness.

But med is extremely difficult to get into.
Firstly, lowest UAI cutoff is 90 (adelaide), but most people need much higher (>99), plus there's the interview, and the dreaded UMAT...

But realsitically, 2 years spend studying hardcore = lifetime of job satisfaction + good retirement funds. That's what drives me.

Unfortunately I've completed no study. This is not due to any philosophy which stops me from studying in the holiday but just general pre-occupation with major works and procrastination. I hope I can pull of the study holiday thing next time.

My trials are week 2 and 3.

Yeah, same for me in English, and both Maths classes (B and C) but other subjects do count.
-Chemistry
-Physics
-IPT (year 12)

I live in QLD so this wil be different for everyone else.

I probably averaged around 4 or 5 hours a day of pure study, but there was my PIP to finish on top of that, and a couple of days where I did less or more...
This however was more a result of me being lazy throughout the year and having an anxiety attack at the beginning of holidays than actually wanting to work lol.

Does this include attending revision courses in the hols? If so, whole day except for dinner time (1 hr). If not, self-revision is about 3 hours. Luckily, I did my notes accumulatively throughout the year, so I didn't stress too much about making notes--it's just dragging myself around to absorbing it all.
