How many hours do you study in a day?

Only thing I ever did for hsc was 30-40 mins chem and same for phys each day, almost everyday. Maths work I did the daily exercises at school, and that was sufficient enough for me to remember things. English I did nothing at all, which will be reflected in my marks haha, praying for b5

The chem and phys work involved going dotpoint by dotpoint of syllabus.

Really, all u gotta do in hsc is memorize what needs to be memorized, find your strong points in each subject, and then focus on your weak points.

Just one word of simple advice-it is not the hours your study, but how efficiently you are using your studying sessions that counts. For example, it is not much use procrastinating over a difficult question for an hour and then say you have studied an hour-because you have not achieved great efficiency/understanding in this study session. So make sure that you are studying at times that optimises your alertness and concentration and that you evaluate your own study skills and understanding based on the breath as well as depth of knowledge that you have gained for each of your subject, and you test that by regularly doing exam papers/questions/sections under EXAM CONDITIONS- all my best wishes to 2014 HSC students and I hope you guys will be using your summer holidays very efficiently and wisely to study and relax

I was doing 1-2 hours a night at this point last year. It was hard to do any more because we had only covered a quarter of the content, so there wasn't much to study.

I don't have a set requirement of how many hours I do. Ideally, it hovers around 3-4 hours a night on school nights and around 8-10 hours a day on the weekend. Keep in mind, by "study" I am referring to homework, assessment prep, etc. The type of "study" I do is dependent on my subject. For example, English would be looking at practice analysis and whatever.

These holidays I have 2-3 weeks off overseas, but I will study (haha) and try and finish all the notes I was supposed to do this term and essentially get ahead and learn everything for the next year.

I'm planning to do around 4-5 hours study a day, depending on whether or not I go out. I will try and socialise 2-3 times a week to keep sane, but I will be spending a lot of time working on subjects like English, which will eat up a large amount of my time, and subjects with major works, I.e. va.

I think what you need to do in the holidays is dependent on the subjects you do.

Best of luck )

I was studying for like 5-6 hours every weekday and pretty much 9 hours (including tutoring) during weekends for the first 7 weeks of this term.

Now I just study 1-2 hours every day and the rest of the time I procrastinate

Also I plan to study for 9 hours in the holidays, though this will likely be halved after 1 week and again the week after..

+1 couldn't have said it better myself.
I personally couldn't focus for more than 45 minutes at a time without a substantial break. I would say I worked hard but more importantly EFFECTIVELY.

I think your school night hours are proportional to your aims, but 10 hours on the weekend is extreme, and unnecessary. I understand it if you're being inefficient and you just do your homework in short bursts over the span of the day, but if you're doing 8-10 hours of serious study, that's too much.

4-5 hours for the holidays is good though.

It's not 10 hours of intensive study, I would just like to point that out haha. It's like a decent continuous effort. If you were to compress into intensive study, it would probably be like 5-6 hours.

I've been having very bad study patterns for the previous semester (Sem 2), can't even believe it...

Keep distracting myself from watching shit online.

You shouldnt really study to a time, study should be more goal oriented. Those goals and the exact amount of time it takes you to achieve them are really dependent on the student (i.e. their aims, the study techniques which work best for them and their capabilities. I know this sounds like a cop-out answer, but it really is difficult to answer because it varies so much from person to person.

I try to reach two "milestones" a day. (I.e. finish making a set of notes or simply just reinforcing my understanding in a particular subject/topic)
I find sticking to a hour-by-hour kind of timetable extremely unrealistic and difficult, so I've kinda given up on that. After studying, you should really ask yourself "what have I learnt from all this study?" and "have I really achieved anything?". If you don't have answers to either of these questions then definitely consider changing your study patterns/timetable.
Also, I find studying for more than five hours a day pretty redundant as after a while, my brain has absorbed so much information that it simply isn't able to absorb any more. Or perhaps it's just me and my short attention span

That being said, I'm planning on finishing my Module C essay and belonging creative + essay, consolidating my understanding of 4U maths (since the concepts are still rather unclear for me) and writing essay plans for Modern History & Economics. Hopefully I'll be able to reach these "milestones"

Some days I studied 0 hours (damn fb/youtube/anime). Some days I studied 2 - 3 hrs when I don't procrastinate, or procrastinate less. Usually, I studied about 5-7hrs a day for the week before my half-yrlys and trials, as I can store a lot of information by doing so.

I would advise to aim for a consistent 3-5 hrs study a day with a balanced lifestyle (7hr sleep, healthy food, water, hobby/ies).. if you want an ATAR around 90.
