You should study every day, as my teacher says, "The amount of school work done in school should be the same amount as done at home"
Dont just study when you have to, like before exams or assessments, it works for some people but not for everyone.
Go through the syllabus and write out the dot points, buy extra textbooks on your subject and do practise questions out of them.
Go over past papers in exam conditions, make notes and summaries. Make sure you have everything organised and you know where everything is.
A good idea is to get two arch folders, one for Year 11 work and one for Year 12. Put dividers in each for your subjects and only put work in there that is relevant (no homework for example goes in there unless it is important). I put in my summaries, syllabus dot points, worksheets from class and my tests with results.
The first step is to get motivated. Try imagining yourself coming first in the class, all that hard work being payed off. If you have come first in the class or close to it, put the result somewhere in your room where you will see it from your desk (or wherever you study)
Try studying at least 1 and a half hours a night. This can include questions from class in maths you didn't get time to do, extra questions, homework, etc.
EDIT: One more tip, as soon as you get an assessment that you have to do at home, start it straight away. You'll find its much easier doing 20-30mins a day than cram it in and do a crappy job of it and having to hand it in the next day.
Oh and use your holidays effectively, study every day if possible, but also have a good time. You'll be surprised at how many of the people in your grade study during the holidays, l know many people don't.
I was wondering if anyone could teach me how to study and tips on studying successfully because I totally suck when it comes to studying -_-
