Why? If I'm doing an hour & a half's worth of work, it has to be quality because I dunno... I can't just sit there physically and have my mind in some other place. I feel like I'm wasting time & not being productive & if I do start to whaffle I take a break so I can get it together.Originally posted by t-i-m-m-y
its hard to get quality work tho
try studying in smaller blocks of tym....say 30 - 45 mins. so after concentrated work for that amount of tym take a 10-15 min break and get back to it. slowly start increasing ur 'blocks' of study.Originally posted by InfiniteQ

Yeah I think I'll start with an hour of eco...because it's so much theory I don't think I could take in 90 min of it.Originally posted by Rahul

Probably 2.5 hours or so. I don't do reaaaaaally long sessions of study, I find that even a 5 minute break makes my mind work far more efficiently.Originally posted by bobo123

That's so true... when someone says you can't do any better you tend to get angry & want to just prove them wrong.Originally posted by Da Monstar

i lived in the middle-east till i completed yr 11 and moved to syd just for the yr of the hsc. coming from a different educational background, it was absolutely essential for me to do well if i am to get in uni .... in fact sooo many ppl wrote me off saying that i wont be able to get over 80 for a uai !! but i got ..... 92 !!! so i guess the main motivation came frm the fact that i needed to prove them rong n show that i can do it !
hehe .. mate, i've completed my hsc n dont intend to continue that way in uni .....Originally posted by InfiniteQ

i also found out that ppl that come from overseas study much much harder, like some asian countries, inlcuding India. i dound that i worked a lot harder than i did when i came here. altho that was in yr 5, the level of work was much lower. i did have a lot of trouble with the australian studies we did that year....lol....still do i think!Originally posted by Da Monstar
