How Much Time Is Spent on Schoolwork (ie study, homework, reading English novels, revising, researching, assignment-ing, Bored of studies etc)???

Is it broken up into parts and if so how?? (eg 30 minutes on English reading, 1 hour on maths.)

My Studyplan

I fit under the 2 to 3 hour study a day.
So far, on the average day
English novels- around 5 to 20 minutes
Other English- 20 mins
Maths-1 hour
Other subjects- 1 hour
BOS- rest of the time :)

No real timetable but, I just do the homework that is needed, fill in dot points for chemistry, revise it

Do tutor homework on thursdays

Usually, 2 - 2.5 hours on maths alone
Hardly any on any other subject since I don't get much homework

Rest of the time BoS :D

Studyplan?

I don't have one either. I don't know if I should have one. 4u maths is always my top priority because it's hard and i'll do first when i have more energy. Usually, at the end of the night, I spend whatever time's left reading english novels- that'll put me sleep lol :)
The figures I gave above can change. They're approximations.

On weekends, i do less study than on weekdays- don't know why.

Yeh, 4u is my top priority as well, then 3u maths, then what ever needs to be done. I can never follow a timetable :)

Me neither.
Well, nah i do both at the same time. They're both hard.
We should stop letting maths run our lives so we can concentrate on our other subjects. Im sure you have 2, 3 or 4 really annoying english novels, you gotta read.

*cough* Hamlet *cough* :D
Back on topic: I like to get home, do 1-2 hours of strictly homework, have dinner, finish off homework and write notes, then maths, then bored of studies forums last. But i get alot of variation in the order and amount of time spent on each.

I thought the trains were starting to run on time again, that's in the city area though, trains frequently come and go.

I hate it when trains stop for a few minutes for no reason (well it seems that way). They're probably running on time but they stop for a few minutes to get back to normal ie. running late. :rolleyes:

It usually happens whenever its pulling into Central, sometimes Parramatta.

Back to the topic: who voted over 8 hours a day?? - Someone wants a UAI of 100 and is desperate. We wish him/her luck.

I start with maths and end with english. I usually finish all my maths homework in my frees (I have a lot of them), so there's not a lot I have to do by the time I get home.

I do all my homework as soon as I'm home so I don't get distracted or procrastinate. The rest of the night I study, start assessments, read, talk on the phone, go on the treadmill, etc - just anything to waste time!
