OP you seem like a smart guy

you should know by now that you won't lose marks in your exams due to lack of knowledge.. but more so an error or misinterpretation of the question
im sure that content-wise, you are set. you just have to be careful in how they mark the paper, (i.e keywords in theory questions), and avoid silly errors.
good luck schwarzenigga

Day 1

What I've done:

Motors and Generators past paper
Halfway through the excel 3u step by step
Did a practice essay to see how much I could write in 45 minutes- 1080 words, need to keep practicing :mad:

Tomorrow's Goals:

1. Rewrite a half done essay to improve speed.
2. Finish the 3u excel book
3. Memorise Physics notes for topics 1,2 and formulas
4. Write notes for topics 1,2,3 for Business Studies
5. Do a 3u past paper
6. Do a 4u past paper
7. Finish off essay from tutoring and submit it.
8. Revise a bit of 4u if not asleep.
you really should make a weekly timetable where you put each of the things you listed into time slots. You've actually really motivated me to begin to REALLY apply myself and do an insane amount of work to get a mark of 90-95 (which is extrmely hard for me).
I probably should have started at the start opf this year, but i'll do it after HY's.

btw, what time are you getting to bed each night? it must be quite late.

Good luck.

How do you plan to do all this when you have an assignment for every single subject due in a certain amount of time?
Also, how do you know that these particular things you plan to do, will get you 99.95? Do you have any examples?

Yeah that sounds like it would take my mind off thinking of what to do everyday. I'll do that now :D

I go to sleep when I get tired, which is usually 10pm. I usually get the work done, but if I don't, it carries over to the next day :/

Also, how do you know that these particular things you plan to do, will get you 99.95? Do you have any examples?
I don't. Which is why I posted it here: to see if the plan that I typed up would be effective in getting 99.95.

What do you think needs to be changed?

having talked to and seen a few .95ers. There are generally three types:
*naturally talented ones
*12 hours a day in holidays, plus 12 hours weekends ones
*extremely mature ones who know how to deal with the stress and understand intricacies of HSC such as scaling and marking
I havent met any who make study journals, so doenst look good for you......

orite bro. Well good luck with that. You obviously have the motivation for a 99.95 but all you wrote is easier said than done.

Whats your point? Tbh I dont think thats any reason to suggest this guy won't get 99.95. For all we know he could be a trailblazer.

But I'll just echo pretty much what most of the other users are saying. Don't burn out.

we'll you've just met one now. I satisfy all of the criteria. With that said, I reckon you can be a dumbass and still get 99.95 if you work hard enough; 'when's there's a will, there's always a way'
