How much do you study? (1 Viewer)

[h3ll h0und]

yr 11 study is a waste

yr 11 study is a great practise for HSC

nup, apart from maths, it's pretty much a waste. but u do kind of need some knowledge of prelim stuff if ur gonna do HSC like in chem u need to know molar calculations, dipole-dipole forces/dispersion forces etc. just do your hw...should be enough to get through yr 11.

I'm not gonna say that study is a bad thing, but i do think that anyone in year 11 doing more than 2 hours of study will adversely influence their state of mind, in the medium-long term.

Of course, this is just my opinion.. there's no need to be burning your arse off just yet.

If you pay attention in class and do your homework, and then revise your work every now and then, it's not very hard to get good marks.

I don't have a set amount I study everyday because it doesn't really work for me -- I just listen, do homework, and revise, and I do pretty well.

IMO im going to do my homework - ive come first in most tests so far. Seeing as I understand the subject, theres no point wasting hours on stuff I already know.

Thats what HSC is about

 

[Sammy2011]

I do my homework and work on my assessments for as long as it takes me, and for as long as I need to.

If there is anything I don't understand, I do some research or read through some textbooks. If the mood strikes me, I'll study.

Until I face half yearly exams, I think I'm doing the appropriate amount of work for year 11. I'll end up studying around at least half an hour next term, maybe more.

Sammy2011 - I feel your pain. My school was ranked #539 in 2008.

Our teachers doesn't really give us homework except maths. Which means we have to do extra studies, makes notes, etc.

Wow, than your school much have good teachers and has been given a lot of homework. And congratulation for your lovely results!

^^^ mine was ranked in 600's haha

Although I changed schools at beginning of this year to one ranked in 300's

Man, that would be hard...I'm making my teachers work for me. They need to earn the right to be my teacher, considering I'm coming top 3 in nearly all my subjects (Except Math....darn evil subject). But I guess there isn't any difference between homework and doing your own notes/study, right?

And thanks, Blubberfly...I think I can overcome my school rank with effort....ALOT of effort

Good for you!

I wish I could be bothered to change...I wanted to, but I was kinda reluctant to get to know a new school, their habbits and the teachers, let alone making friends.

It's kind of thrown back in our face, isn't it? They're drilling us to study hard all this time when we'd essentially do better somewhere else. I actually considered changing schools but I'd never actually be bothered to do it.

Where do you find your schools ranking???

 

[Blubberfly]

Oh, and the fact that people have told me schools in my area aren't any better than mine. I'm inclined to believe that.

I'm first in three subjects, third in one, fourth in two, and Mathematics... I despise Mathematics, always have, and I have no idea what my rank is but I can guarantee it's not good. My exam is actually tomorrow, and I've barely studied a thing. I think my teacher has given up on us.

Good thing Mathematics won't be counted in my ATAR or it'd seriously let me down.

Heh, Sammy, I read your profile -- I love Bones/the T. Brennan series/the skeletal system. My favourite things in the world. And I can't believe it just occurred to me that your profile picture is Zooey Deschanel. xD I'm a bit slow. It's been a long day.

Here you are, iRuler found them

You can Google '2008 HSC school rankings' and it'll give you a link (usually on Bored of Studies). Unfortunately, they aren't releasing anything after the top 100 or so anymore, so 2008 is the most recent for those under that.

Beauty between 140 and 150, cant give away my secret identity
thanks

I study 7-10 hours a night.

You have no life though if you're smart you'll get a good atar

Oz, that's crazy. I could study for a few, but it wouldn't do me much good. I do everything that's needed and review my work and I get good marks, so with a little studying it's not hard for me to get great marks.
