Recommended hours for work? Recommended Study methods? Balancing school,work & life? (1 Viewer)

Lol Bored Of Sc . Daina, I recommend you do your best in Preliminary and the HSC now. Focus on your study habits in the preliminary year, then work hard on those study habits with diligence during the HSC year. Attain a high UAI, then when you get into your university course, get a part-time job if you wish. If you're not having any financial difficulties, and just working for 'wants', I'd just quit if I were in your shoes.

My 2 cents.

i can understand wat ur saying but my job is something that gets me off thinking about school.dunno if thats good or not but at home im always thinking about wat i hav to do next and i keep pushing everything bak and procrastinating.at least when im at work i noe that i hav this much time after school to get everything done.
i hav a basic study schedule set up coz i wanted to start it after the end of last term but hav really struggled sticking to it (not from work, all my own fault)

well im doin the hsc this yr... and i work i would suggest to work in ur hsc yr if u can cope as it des mean more money and that means ur not relyin on ur rents all the time.
i work aprox 2- 3 days a week and i still mange to fit in at least 2 hours study a day
and my marks are all in the 80s
so ppl it is possible and u need a life besides studying and work gives u an expreince and the money to give u a life otta school and study

btw, i make 26.35$ an hour. if your only making 7.50$, while its good practical experience and looks good in a resume, the time it consumes probably isnt worth undertaking through the hsc. ask you parents for 40$ a week of your youth allowance you are applicable for it and they have it.

What do you do?

Aren't you like 17/18?

 

[michael1990]

I would recommend less than 10 hours per week.

You need to do different subjects each day. Try not to focus on one subject more than another.

You don't have to have a timetable. Just think about what works for you. If you like routine you would love a timetable. Others ways are just as effective.

I also understand what you're saying. Everyone procrastinates, which is a terrible habit, certainly for me at times. My tennis and shuffling is something that gets me off thinking about school. It's good to have a hobby. If you have a study schedule, and you're determined to stick to that schedule whilst handling commitments such as working, then keep it up. But like I said, make these 2 years count. It's not worth attaining a UAI <30 whilst you've attended school for 12 years. Make these 2 years count and put your best effort into it. I wish I could listen to my own advice. It's easier said than done .

Okay im probably thinking of quiting, although i have no idea what to say and when I should say it.

Do i ring them up or talk to them face to face after my pay day? or should I just do nothing?

i would go up to them and tell your boss face to face,say that you have school commitments and you need to concentrate on school

6 hours is quite excessive. I do 4 hours in the morning & that's basically all I do.

[sonyaleeisapixi]

mondays suck balls after my kick ass weekends involving jd and 42 below. so, work is a great excuse to do very little when i get home but sleep.
