I really should get started on studying for them but these bloody assessment tasks and overload of homework are preventing me from doing so.
Good thing my chemistry/physics tutor kinda forced me into making notes for the first topics already in the holidays.....
...........and to whoever said that studying early makes you a crazy nerd, well getting it done early is better than rushing it in the last minute!!! Also, you'll feel more relaxed when you get things done early and you won't stress out as much about studying and cramming....Making notes early (and doing your homework early) lightens the load at the latter stage especially as the exams approach.

Ah its not even a year, its just a few months now, ah, what the heck, every 2nd weekend i'm socialising anyway, and plus the added fact that my schools decided after a drought of excursions in year 7-11 to provide us with the chance to go to about 7...i'm not doing too badly..

I think it'll be rewarding and plus there are things like you've said such as getting totally pissed (me and mates are going on a pub crawl) and the formal and schoolies and what not

rad.

I have to get through all these other insane assessments before I can even think about the half yearlies.
For example
Visual Arts: 1/3 of my BOW complete, 20 pgs of Visual Process + 3 more artists visual verbals. In class essay, Case Studies 2 +3 completed and a michaelango subjective frame question. Due week 7. Bastards.

Today I just resumed my studying for chemistry. I've finally got into things again since the start of the term, only have a physics assignment to worry about now, after a couple of weeks doing other assessments. Everyone should really be revising now, it might be 5 weeks, but it will come faster and hit harder than what you think. So start studying now! ;)

I haven't started studying yet but I am not worried at all. Why should we be? Cramming has always worked and I don't see the difference between this year and the last couple...

Ok looks like this topic has been left in the shadows and the half yearlies are nearly upon most of us.

Mine fall into week 10-11

And I got My schedule and its pretty good I would say

Week 10

Wednesday- English 2hour
Enlglish 1 hour

fancy that :(


then Thursday
Friday
SAT
SUN
These days are all off. Saturday and Sunday are obvious.


Week 11


Monday is another day off

Tuesday- Legal Studies 1.5 hour exam

Wednesday- General Maths 2hour exam

Thursday- Ancient History, Business Studies going to kill me this day

All and all I think my time table is very good as after English I get 5 whole days to study and that if used effectively will ensure good marks I would predict.
gl everyone else.

They have only made the draft timetable.

Monday-english, tue-math, wed-business studies...

Then I have economics and biology on the following Monday, Chemistry on Tuesday. Pretty good, but I dont like the idea of bio and eco being on the same day.

mine start in week 9.

i haven't exactly started studying unless you count writing up notes and catching up with maths work.

i'm glad mine aren't after the holidays. coz i'd feel i have to stay home every day to study and if i go out i'd feel guilty. which equals to a crappy two weeks of hols.

It would rack me with guilt too. I like the week 10-11 arrangement much better, even if the general concensus when they told us our exams would be a fortnighter earlier than usual was 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'.

Not only do we get more time to study for the week 10/11 exam block, but as soon as it's over, we're on holidays! Something definitely to look forward to! :)
