What study r y’all doing over the holidays. R u setting a goal 4 each day/week or doing it serendipitously

As a year 10 student I feel very alienated and isolated, I'm feeling a sense of displacement but its ok though cause we're going to top the HSC !!!

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

that's a ridiculous amount- just have a life and take a break for the last time in over a year

If you’re an academic weapon it’s lightwork

Yessir

finish the syllabus for all your subjects

Like finish by how much?

Write notes? Do all the questions? Start practice paper questions?

So I’ve devised my holiday study plan, starting Monday: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ouid=108787009400839789213&rtpof=true&sd=true.

What do y’all think of it. The most ambitious thing is definitely the mx2 unit a day, which will probs take up abt 2-3 hrs of each day, especially with me teaching myself the content. The idea behind this was to get maths out of the way and done so I can start the hsc year doing practise papers. I of course blocked two weeks out just to study for my immanent upcoming test. For eco I’m doing a similar thing where I hope to write my study notes for the term. And religion, English and modern are a bit of afterthought cause I’ve already been tested for them last term, and cause they’re easy subjects that work well starting the study in the lead up to the test. Anyway, what do y’all think? Too ambitious? Not ambitious enough? Did I miss anything glaringly?

Also my school starts eco at topic 3, then goes to 4, then 1, then 2. Ik it’s kind of weird but I’m gonna roll with it anyway.

This is a psychotic amount of study for the summer holidays. If you even attempt this YOU WILL GET BURNT OUT before the term starts.

If you plan to achieve something even close to this (which I think is insanely ill-advised), some suggestions:
- You should have way more rest days of doing nothing- the weekends, time between christmas and new year, time just after term 4 ends and time just before term 1 starts
- It's a waste of time to do the whole year of content at once for maths, too much to try and do all at once- what I did was go 1 term ahead (and redo this maths study ahead cycle for each term) that way you can master the topics before moving on each term
- Writing english and religion essays every 2 days in insane- read the books, make notes and maybe a goal might be 5 essays for each subject for the holiday (try to get some teacher feedback before churning out more essays, otherwise what's the point)

Overall, way too ambitious. Play the long game and instead of getting the whole year done get the next assessment content done and master it as opposed to quickly glossing over everything. This will also help you learn it better so you're not wasting your time.

For English and religion it was just supposed to be one essay over the entire holidays, not one every two days. But yeah, I’ll add a few more rest days and if need be I can cut out the math study for the end of year content.

Vectors 4U in 3 days Dude you're gonna burn out quickly. Aim for like 3-4 hrs each day (and even this is a stretch) because the amount you're subjecting to yourself is very clearly not sustainable nor healthy. It's about efficiency and spacing everything out. With the way you've planned your days out, just seems like you're studying for the sake of 'studying'. I can guarantee you, once you finish what seems to be like 8 hrs of study, you won't feel like you actually did much and may start adding more hours to compensate this. This cycle will just keep circling. You won't feel productive as your mind needs a break, as does any other biological component in a human. As a result, you'll be blankly studying without retaining any of that information.

100% agree with this

that looks awful lol, I went through all of my syllabus with a lot less work than that. here was my sorta schedule, with me working for about 5 hours on most days and still hanging out with my friends and doing stuff with them at pretty much every opportunity

start of holidays-a bit after new years: literally nothing and then got bored and decided to start studying
the next week: spent most evenings until late learning the mx2 course with mcgrathematics and then doing chapter reviews (only studied late so my family couldn’t see me studying in the holidays lol)
the next week: went to the beach!
the next few days after that: finished mx2 and do my first past paper for it
the next week: took a break, then binged the Edrolo for chemistry and did the past hsc questions after each module
the next week: also took a break and then learnt the whole physics course, this one overlapped a bit into the school term though but that was ok

obviously this sort of thing won’t work for everyone because im extremely weird, was super motivated, am a pretty quick learner and was interested in learning the courses, and you have quite different subjects etc but my point is I had a pretty enjoyable holidays anyway, you really don’t have to exhaust yourself to get a lot done, and tbh your schedule just isn’t realistic like do you really think there won’t be a single day where you just don’t feel like doing anything and fall behind.

 

[HazzRat]

Ok fair enough. Dumping the schedule 2day and making a new one
