Probably the only thing I don't do is much around with my friends. I do too many challenging subjects to be able to do that.

I have about 1/3 of all my periods as frees, so I have a lot of them. I mainly write up some chem summaries for dotpoints, do maths questions for practice. I do English and SDD at home as my free periods aren't long enough for me to comfortably do stuff for those things.

But I warn you now: Don't sit anywhere near your friends. You'll talk to them and neither of you will get anything done.

i've been having frees since the beginning of year 11. thaty is because my extensions subjects were off the timetable, therefoire they were in the afternoons, or mornings. they are a bother to attend. however, you should make a most of your frees. i regret not making more of them

yes, as slide rule did say, stay away from your friends, in your frees. you are bound to talk to them even if you promise you won't. it will eventuate. i had 3 or 4 frees a week. i can't remember exactly. however, it is time for oyu to catch up. treat this as a normal class.

Me and my friends always say we're going to do work, but it never happens. So we just get food and hang out.

I only get 3 frees a fortnight :(. I do 12 units and our periods are 75mins each, so it sucks.

None. :( A full timetable and I have to devote hrs of my time to German ext... it's meant to be 2-3, but I'm a bit crap so it takes way longer. :/

Im on 04'er and had a tonne of free periods. At least one a day and sometimes, 3 a day. Most of the time, I finished off HW and stuff but toward the end of the year, I just mucked around chatting with freinds and using the computer if all my freinds had classes. The weird thing is i studied during recess/lunchtimes sometimes and ate during my free periods. Pointless really.

I'll have a couple of free periods this year. I plan on doing assignments, homework or just hanging with mates.

mostly nothing...I have around 19 per fortnight

my school made us call them 'study periods' in hope that it would motivate us to do something mildly productive
