[deswa1]

yeh, go for gold mate lol. meanwhile i am going for the snake trophy

Good luck. That took me a fair amount of effort (wasted life lol).

 

[Prazo1994]

Finally making some progress:
* Chem: done acidic environment, chem monitoring and management, halfway through production of materials :S
* Physics: done space, done ideas to implementations, need to do motors and generators
* maths 2u and 3u: just been doing past papers and topics that i suck at(kinda screwed for maths )
* legal: need to still study workplace and family, done a bit of revision on crime
* English: done 2 creative pieces, 1 essay on BR and frankenstein, 1 essay on emily dickinson,
* still need to do past papers for all subjects...hopefully by monday(fingers crossed)

So i'm still screwed, need to really put some more hardwork in and stop wasting my time *sigh*

 

[Bobbo1]

Yep, past trials and past HSC papers are the way to go. Don't waste your time with useless textbook questions or writing up notes. Good luck to everyone!

 

[awarner]

urgh, not looking forward to trials, but it will be good to get them over and done with ! 99 days till my last hsc exam

Bio: i've made notes on the first 3 modules, and i've studied them. Just a few things I need to clarify.
Chem: I've read through chemical monitoring- need to revise other two modules, and then read through optional if i have the time
Business: I need to summarise the entire thing+prepare for my last assessment.
Maths (2u): Haven't done much, but I will start soon [if I have time]
Adv english: Finished creative, finished BR/frank essay, nearly finished 50th gate (need one more related text), half way through writing hamlet now.
Maths (3u): literally don't know where to start. I'm really fucked.
Religion: need to start revising (lol, more like learning for teh first time).

I'm quite basically screwed, but I will not give up. I have one more week to make up for it.
All i need to do is revise all my subjects, do a few past papers for maths, and then i have two weeks when school starts to do the past papers. Right?

i hate how much i've procrastinated this week, i feel like i've accomplished nothing.

@ZombieApocalypse, you sound like you're pretty much on track- you're certainly way ahead of me in bio and english (haven't started my essays yet wewp). Plus by the sound of it you like everyone else in teh state got a bit of down time in the first week, which in my humble opinion is just as important as studying just to destress a little and relax . For maths my suggestion would be summarise your notes (if you're pressed for time just get a summary offline and add bits and pieces) and do past papers. You'll be fine

You're not that stuffed- you're way ahead of most people in the state (maybe not on BOS though...). With 3U, what specifically do you struggle with? Is it remembering the theory, applying it or just sitting tests?

And yes, doing past papers for the two weeks when you get back to school should be fine- that's essentially what I'm doing.

On track?
But I have so much to do...
i'm going to have to go to the library (1pm-8pm, because I have other commitments in the morning) to make up for it. I hope I can

The worst feeling is regret...
I finished the 2u math course ages ago, I just haven't revised it recently. With 3u, I need to teach myself the entire course. literally. i don't know what's going on.
I've went through polynomials I this week, and that's about it :/

Ahead? Everyone i know is finished and doing papers (well, the ones that are studious, i'm not including those who don't try because they're not competition).
I struggle with theory. I tried looking at parametrics a few days ago, and I couldn't understand wtf was going on. I'm really struggling, and I wished i got a tutor earlier this year :/

You're comparing yourself to others on BOS and stuff- they don't reflect state average at all. Though I get your point about them not being competition. Do you have a tutor now?

I meant... people from my cohort. LOL.

I don't have a tutor. I've looked for one, but it's really hard to find a good tutor for maths. I used to have a crazy one before that literally made us do 50 pages of math hw a week (literally).
After that, I took a long break and my 3u rank began to slide. I was 3rd, then dropped tutoring, and now i'm 3rd last. Sigh.

Well, if you need any help or whatever, you can PM me and I'll try and assist.

 

[FreeLearner]

1 week down :/ only 1 to go.... I need to work harder this 2nd week :/!

 

[jamesischool]

there is actually going to be no time to revise for me at school since we've barely started the 4th topic in bio/physics/english. for english would you say just do 1 essay at a time? or them all at once?

 

[Genesis015]

This forum post can be helpful for the 2013 candidates.

 

[nofate]

So far haven't done a whole lot, but there's still a few more weeks:

*English - Finished History and Memory and Exploring Connections, still need to add a paragraph to Belonging and write an essay on the Critical Study
*Math (3U) - Pretty happy with what I know, can do most papers quickly/easily except for a few questions.
*Math (4U) - More past papers, can do the easy/alright questions but the hard ones I still get stumped on.
*Physics - Studied most of Space and all of Astro that I have done, still need to do Motors and Ideas before I start papers
*Chemistry - Studied Chemical Monitoring, and a bit of Production still need to finish Production and Acidic before I start papers

 

[SpiralFlex]

Plans to do by this week:

Finish SDD assignment

Finish English Mod B assignment which is an essay

(Which I hope will be all done by today)


Physics Module III and a bit of Q2Q revise, then going to intensely revise the Space, M&M.

Write all my essays/notes for English.

Finish SDD course

Maths past papers/Physics past papers

Then with 3 weeks to go, intense amounts of past papers...

 

[s8891]

Set too many unrealistic goals for myself, now I'm hoping I finish in time. Started some past papers. Still struggling in ext2 maths, hopefully i'll still be able to score at least an 80 in the end.


Cant wait to finish!! Its so soon till the end!!

 

[LoveHateSchool]

My plans:
Been overseas, but now will go on super beat mode, yay!

 

[emma_2_]

studyed at study camp, however, i can't figure out how to write a GOOD essay, and i can't do my past papers ahhh

 

[ZacMac]

Doing about 3 hours of study a day, which is super good for me.
