How do you organise your study routine, if your trials are all bundled up together? ):
I have paper 1, Modern History, Paper 2, Mathematics a break then Ancient, Business and then Extension.
They're all so close together...

 

[Shadowdude]

Give us exact dates so we can figure stuff out for you. Or else you'll just get: "Just make sure you study each of your subjects for a good time period before each exam".

 

[xamineO]

I've studied for almost everything except maths, D:
My timetable; 30th July (Paper 1), 31st (modern), 1st (maths), 2nd (paper 2), 3rd (ancient), Break, break, 8th (business), 9th (extension).

 

[Shadowdude]

Well you're kinda stuffed from 30 July to August 2. So you'll have to dedicate a day or two for each of those exams before the 30th (I'd say, 28-29 leave for Paper 1, so it's fresh).

And then you have 4, 5, 6 and 7 - so two days each for Business and Ext. History.

That's if you want to have two days for each subject.

 

[xamineO]

Yeah i'm going to do that but 3 days for Ext. History and 1 for business.
I'm so scared for 30Th until the 3Rd...
Thank-god I don't have exams on the same day.

 

[Shadowdude]

After your exams, go home and revise for the next one. Cramming session.

 

[xamineO]

In the trial period is it optimum to sleep the same or less?
I would be scared so I don't think i'll be able to sleep D:

 

[Shadowdude]

Well, what's "the same". If it's like 6 hours, then you need like 8. Always get around 8.

 

[xamineO]

oh right, thanks. :]
for me it's usually 6 or 5 and a half everyday.
Sleep 1:30 wake-up at 7 *kill me*

 

[Shadowdude]

yeah thats not healthy

My Gawd, Ancient with CHEMISTRY?
Ancient is hella too much to remember and then you have chemistry aswell, I wish you good-luck. Hope you do good (Y).

Look, when I had uni exams - I made sure that for each subject I did, I had two days solely dedicated to them.

So for you, obviously you can use 4th and 5th for Maths but before then, you have to figure out how to allocate time. You might want to do something use the 28th-29th for Paper 1, and then 26th-27th for Paper 2 and work backwards...

Whatever works for you. And obviously, after each exam from the 30th to the 3rd, cram afterwards for the next exam.

I'll definitely try that, I hope it works out well!

Eh, not as bad as what I had. I had English Paper 1 and Physics together, English Paper 2 and Modern History together, Maths Ext 2 and SOR1 together, and another two extension subjects here and there.

Point is, it's doable and you can still get good results if you study effectively from now on, and cram a lot in the nights between.

 

[The Matrix]

I had extension 1 maths and physics on the same day in the half yearly, so annoying.
Start studying now.
I'm really worried because my stupid school didn't give us the time table before the holidays so I have no idea what my timetable will be like.
My HSC time table is perfect, I have at least 1 day off between exams. But I'm starting to study now so even if I don't study at all during HSC and trials, I think I'll do relatively well.
Good luck

 

[Saksyyna]

My Trial timetable is horrible, have English Extension 1 and Chem first day, then Paper 1 and Legal day after, then Paper 2 day after. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THAT

 

[Shadowdude]

Again, you organise days beforehand dedicated to each of those subjects and then after the exams, use that night to cram. It's hard to do when two subjects are on the next day but... you can also use time between exams to prepare.

 

[SanjoyM]

Guys how would you study for this??
06th Aug English Advanced paper 1 and Chemistry
07th Aug English Advanced Paper 2 and Biology
09th Aug: Extension 1 English
10th Aug: Music
13th Aug:Ancient History and Music
14th Aug: Biology Practical
15th Aug: Chemistry Practical

Worst timetable!! The school will not even consider changing it!! Uggh, so I just have to live with it!
Any suggestions on how manage time? Thanks!
