WTF. Chill bro, balance your hours, you're gonna wear yourself out.
This is alright i mean.. considering normal school days + extra days is normally equivalent to 11 hrs for me.

IM having lots of breaks so it is fine not burning my self out XD..

Study hard HSCers. HSC is only a month away!
Not even :( It's in 3 weeks now.

Is it worth while doing past papers for subjects you're naturally good at and know you will get at least 85 - 90+ no matter what?

Well, I would say focus on your weaker subjects, don't neglect your strong ones but devote a larger proportion of your time to those where you have more room to improve.

Doing about 9 hours a day atm for last week or so, and plan to hit 11 hours a day by wednesday. I wish I did 3u maths or 4u maths. Im so sick of studying essay subjects, that maths past papers are by far the best part of my day. In fact I actually had to cut down on maths, because im so prepared for maths and so underprepared for economics!

2u maths is like fullllllllllll hard puzzles to me.. although fun and enjoyable to some extent.. Better than writing essays and reports all day.

I love how people set specific hours of study for the HSC. Just chill guys- I got Dux and it wasn't through studying hard, it's about studying smart. Once again just chill and remember it's not the end of the world....unless you've neglected your friends and social life for the past 2 years, now realising that if you don't get a good atar it was all a waste of time...and it's now inevitable that you will end up a social decrepit, lonely and miserable for the rest of your life.

Break a leg everyone:)

Hey guys, im fairly behind my studies so i need some advice :/. I only have around 1/5 of my notes done for economics and ipt, and its taking so damm long. Do you think I should just forget doing my own notes and get a real good one from someone who have gotten 95+ in their subject and memorise them? and move straight onto past papers?,

I just feel like doing notes arent effective at all because i do feel like i know most of the shit.

Look at your ATAR goal. If it doesn't have three 9s in it, it's not difficult. Don't stress yourself unnecessarily.
Protip: Mine only has two 9s in it.
