struggling to study? (1 Viewer)

[mckensara]

is anyone else finding it really, really tough to study for their trails?

ive been fine all year, pretty solid momentum and what not
but these last two weeks ive struggled to get three hours in a day.

thoughts?

Take a well earned break for at least a day or two, then try studying again!

 

[lyounamu]

hang on....

my well earned break had lasted three days now... sitting at my desk starring out the window

After coming out of all the assessments in term 2, I can't bare to pick up a book this week. I've avoided my desk the entire time and it's great, I just need a break. I don't get how so many others are jumping straight into the books? How can you do that so soon? I understand you have more time so it won't seem as rushed and it's important to prepare early and consolidate but come on.

 

[mckensara]

yeah i know trails are SO important
and i really want to keep my ranks where they are


but i swear even when i work i put in 20%

ahhh i frustrate myself!
damn those people studying 8 hours a day!

 

[klitzy]

i kno right.. it pretty hard to go through the beginning all those boring shit in ancient history and economics fuck thinking about it gives me a headache :'(

Quite frankly Id rather be doing my own thing and having fun. I will study...somewhat....next week of course

 

[mckensara]

ancient history makes me want to weep with the pain that is studying it

i dont CARE if there was a pot found at x and y
siighhh.

yeah I'm in serious trouble for trails
there are some good notes for ancient though in resources
saved me for my assessments

 

[mckensara]

i really hate ancient
i dont know why i did it apart from being good at essays

thats why im shit at Pompeii and Herc.
we didnt really cover it in class either
it was more or less "make notes. study them".

i will hit up the state library tomorrow perhaps and do some ancient

I find that I get lazy after taking a break. It's so much easier just to keep going.

nah - keep things in perspective and take your breaks. the first few days of holidays i did no work and slept in till 11 in the morning - or whenever i felt like getting out of bed. i gave myself about 3 days of full bludging and for everyday i go out i do one full solid day of study. it works wonders, plus if i dont go out i'll just do an hour or two of work and procrastinate/play games/etc for the rest of the day.

and yes when i think about it - i'm not doing enough study but some is better than none. plus you dont want to be burnt out before the HSC exams.

When you take a break - do it away from your desk. do not even go NEAR your desk. your break will be more productive. you will feel more energised - go out, do stuff, hang out with friends, do NOT go near your desk when you're having a break. If its a 10 min break or something, GET UP from your desk and physically LEAVE your study room or where ever you study.

We get sheets where you copy a paragraph from the textbook. That's what the instructions are. Modern shits all over ancient. I was forced to do it instead of geography. I don't know any of the core unit, I only did the work rushed so to avoid a BOS letter. I'm probably up shit creek.

economics is the shittest most boring subject to study...

and before you whinge and say why did u pick it... i didnt :burn:

 

[klitzy]

I picked economics. First year was great but now? Oh god it's awful and the teacher puts us all to sleep. Knocking over the work is just a chore.

Yeah moderns great. It's probably strange that I wouldn't enjoy both historys but for ancient i just can't seem to care.

Modern FTW! I should actually do some modern tomorrow hmmm XD

I agree with everyone else. Get out of the house and do some hardcore R&R!

I'm finding english pretty hard to do right now... but then again i always find english painful to do grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I guess you just have to grit your teeth and do it sometimes

I am struggling to study as well~
But once I started to procrastinate, I will flip through my calender
and you will reliase there's only 2 pages left (i.e. 2 months) to HSC
then I will kick my ass and go study - -'''
