Class of 2025 (2025 HSC CHAT) (11 Viewers)

Is it normal to only study 3-5 hours a day for the HSC? I hear people on Tiktok and stuff studying for 8+ hours and that just sounds so draining that I’d actually die

the most i can hit is 6 i think these next few days ill try 7-8, anything more than 8 hours is an absolute no

It's a measure of your brain's slowness/fastness. "are you slow" is an insult towards someone's low IQ

I know that but those IQ tests are pretty arbitrary and all they test is pattern recognition. Intelligence is like a bunch of different things and can’t be simplified into a number. My parents have 'high IQs' apparently... my dad went to NSB before everybody took courses to pass the entrance test, but that doesn’t mean anything really bc he dropped out

8+ hours feels insane to me, even the concept of studying that much in uni. I feel that at some point the work you put in doesn’t amount to any benefits and just makes you tired... I noticed people who study Humanities study for longer amounts of time. I don’t study any content heavy subjects like those except Chem, which I’ve lowkey been neglecting lol.

yes bro the only reason im putting extra hours is bc i severely need to for english

ppl who are studying 8 hours+ i guarantee they havent done jack all year and theyre bragging abt their 10 hour crams to others

I think lots of people are predicting 10/10 split with a choice of creative or discursive. Imo, I think NESA will make the reflection be on the provided stimulus rather than your two mod c texts.

thankyouuu <333

Yeah definitely. I’ve been locked in the whole year, so that’s helped me enough that I don’t have to study so much any more.

I suck at reflections and hate practicing them so bad. Should I come up with a formulaic structure for my Mod C reflection and like 2-3 quotes?

as someone who also hates reflections and fudges their way through them decently well, I would recommend memorising a nice conceptual sentence for your purpose, and then just knowing some key techniques that you use - knowing which of your prescribed texts have those techniques means you can link them (you don't have to quotes the prescribed text) - as long as you have analysis of your work and are able to link them well to purpose you should be good!

That sounds like enough, just make sure you have a conceptual intro statement iykwim

 

[bigupsanky]

heyy does anyone have any predictions for mod c

depends on the english u do. at least in standard they might ask a persuasive only question. idk about reflection though but rumour has it that there can be a 12/8 split

wish i could go back and change...unpopular opinion but i swear modern history is harder than 3U maths just cause theres so much content u have to know to only be tested on a single dot point

i recommend not writing full essays but doing scaffolds so that u have exposure to many questions
