Free Period Time (2 Viewers)

[etc. etc. etc.]

Well, now that we're in year 12 and some of us have dropped subjects, and picked some up.... how many hours worth of free periods do you have a week?

I would have had 5.5 hours, but our Art teacher got an extra hour a week timetabled for working on our Majors, so I have 4.5 hours a week.

I do 10units at school

And I guess 10 units generally = bliss. Except that I'm not very confident in Ancient History at all.... so I guess a lot of that study time is going to have to be dedicated to it.

I haven't got my new timetable yet. But in year 11, I did 13 units and had no frees. Or, actually, negative 1 frees, because I had a morning class. Haha. I'm doing 10 units for year 12 though, so I should have a fair few.

 

[etc. etc. etc.]

No, I haven't got my new timetable yet either.... but I just calculated it by removing the subjects I'm dropping (1U Photography and 1U Visual Design)

10 units??? Don't stuff up. Remember that all 10 will be counted in the uai. If you're on 12 units and you stuff up a subject, pray that your other 5 are good.

Yeah, I'm aware of that

10 units is basically the best choice for me though. For several reasons.

-I do 2 subjects with major works (Visual Arts and Design and Tech) and so I will need the extra time to work on those.
-I'd probably slack off in a subject if I did 12 units, because I'd know something wasn't going to count.
-I've been unwell the past few years (Glandular Fever and Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome) and 12 units would probably just be too much for me.... I need the extra time to just study at my own pace.
-I don't have any real interest in any other subjects offered!

 

[Guernica]

Oh right... well, I should have...

4 hours free in week 1.
5 hours free in week 2.

Maybe... I think :? I don't know, I can't remember which of my maths classes are extension (dropping ext).

 

[insert-username]

I did 12 units for Year 11 and had 4 frees a week (with one afternoon class).

Now, still with 12 units, I'll ditch the afternoon class, but probably lose two frees a week for Extension 2 Maths.

[fakingtheday]

[melsc]

10 units
3 regular frees a week
2 coz yr 12 dont do sport
and 2 RFF periods

Tuesday was the bets, class from 10 till 11.35

how did you work out your free period hours?? i'm doing 13 units next term , MX2, MX1, adv eng, jap cont and ext1, bio, chem..

 

[Guernica]

I worked out my free periods by counting how many hours I have of the subjects I'm dropping..

 

[pLuvia]

what if you're picking up MX2 and jap ext? which are morning classes, would i get more free periods? on and i'm dropping visual design

that means i'll have 3 free periods plus maybe the free periods the morning class gives?

and plus 2 for sport

 

[melsc]

depends on ur skool, you may get a few

 

[pLuvia]

wouldn't it be like this, the more subjects you do the less free periods you will get?, but i think i will be having a 5th period on Monday's (we usually only have 4 periods) which means I'll get another free period, so, so far i have

3 from dropping visual design
2 from sport that i'm not doing
1 from no period on tuesday because of the 5th period

so that's 6 better put it to good use

 

[melsc]

lol try because in terms of hours free a week I had 9 hoursish and I bludged (thats not normal for 10 units though I had missing classes and stuff)

 

[pLuvia]

ok so.

80 mins each

about 11 hours

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

um, i'd have about 4 or so a week from dropping early childhood...plus 2 per week from not doing sport...plus the 3 or so regular ones we get each week. whoa thats a lot, maybe i did it wrong. but i dont think so...ah well, more free "study" time is always a good thing.

 

[Bookie]

I did 11 units last year and I had 8 'study' periods in a twoweek cycle.

I'm going into Year 12 with 10 units. But I'm not doing it for more frees or anything.

 

[Boxxxhead]

Umm for next year, I'll remain at 3 3/4 hours a week (Damn 45 minute periods)

Lol one of my mates has over 9 hours a week for year 12, and with 45 minute periods, that's a hell of a lot.

 

[Porcia]

i have 21 frees in a fortnight... 1 hour periods... *hides from oncoming jelous abuse* oh and i do 12 units... (open high school, 4 u math/eng which means alot of outside timetable study)
