Crap, I haven't started! Have people really been using the summer holidays for notes? Did you guys take a break at all?
I think I put too much effort into Year 11. I feel dead now. I don't want to touch a damn pen.

I've been using these summer holidays for notes; that was up to about 2 days ago when I started to feel burnt out. From then on, I haven't been able to go for long marathon sessions (4-5 hours), so I'm on a little 'break' now for a few days perhaps. Hopefully I'll be able to work again after that.

12 pages with small handwriting for legal?! Is that only for one topic? Because I've only got 4 pages, and that's for the first topic, 'law and justice'.
Are you kidding me? Its for the first three topics

Wow! What school do you go to? You guys have done the first three topics already? Or is this just moving ahead? I have to start making my notes again, under the syllabus headings. Been on a break for a few days.

That's generally what I do. When I study, I usually just get out my textbook, read then underline and summarise the important points - and re-arrange them under the proper syllabus notes.

Okay, it's not really much about the number of pages. It's really more about word count. Some people just squeeze like 10000+ words into 10 pages. (I did it last year and that's an epic fail)

Bloody Asian ^^

Nah but I had the same problem - I hand wrote my notes last year (cause I was rushing as I did them two weeks before the prelims =="). But yeah - ended up being a pain in the ass when studying - so make sure you make the notes nice and legible =)
