Also, I'm fucked because I make study timetables and then when I get home from work I'm too fucked to do anything.
I think I'm going to buy an iPod touch so I can cheat easier in my trials. :L

If a study timetable doesn't work for you - perhaps do what I did (study timetables never worked for me either, because something would happen that would fuck up the entire timetable).

Write a list of the shit you need to do before...let's say, the weekend. So from today to Friday, you need to complete 4-5 things. Don't be so rigid as to fix everything to a particular time - but still give yourself a bit of organisation so you know what the fuck you have to complete within that certain timeframe.

Yeah, I made a holidays to-do list and I've assigned myself to do half of it before the end of the week... I might get it done. :p

I think I'm just going to stick with answering past HSC questions... making notes is too time-consuming.

FIrst legit non trolling contribution to this forum ever.

I am doing the following:
Week 1: Going over allll my english notes and adding some aspects to them, constructing 3 essay plans for each section (basically 3 essays to learn lol) and finalising related texts.
Week 2: Going over a bunch of 4U questions for every topic
School Week 1: Practice chem stuff I suppose, but probably bludged, do Umat prep
School week 2: do 4U past papers all week
School week 3: do chem/english past papers...

All in all total work load:
English: Finish all notes, construct essays (x3), finalise Related texts, 6 past papers
4U Maths: Do all Coro/cambridge Qs for all topics/10 past papers
Chem: about 7 past papers...can't really be bothered.

As for work, today I did about 4 hours, but i'll step it up to about 9 hours a day soon.

Past papers, summarising, constructing detailed notes, more past papers, reading over notes, more past papers, exploding over past papers, reading over information, analysing sources / case studies, summarising first hand investigations....

Oh the joys of Trials....OH WAIT I've already done mine! So these holidays will be spent finishing off majors and relaxing! n_n
Good luck to everyone though, who have trials looming in over the next month or so. May the effort you make reap the rewards and benefits later! :)

My days are all in timetabled to the timetable I use at school.
Making notes, studying notes, memorizing notes.
Plus that:

Past papers, summarising, constructing detailed notes, more past papers, reading over notes, more past papers, exploding over past papers, reading over information, analysing sources / case studies, summarising first hand investigations....

HSC isn't as scary as it's made to be guys, seriously I know what you're going through, the stress levels and stuff, but just take it easy a little, dont stress hard out, it wont help you, study, and also take "some" time off, as in do stuff you like for a few hours a day, if that's sleeping then sleep extra, if studying is what you enjoy then find another something else, the next best thing.
