I honestly hate reading lol, I highkey don't even watch any shows either. But I do like to watch this YouTuber that does 'internet analysis' on internet issues, other than that I'm probably sleeping.
that sounds super interesting; wish i could say i spend most of my time sleeping, alas i spend most of my time wishing i was getting more sleep lol

Fellow Class of 2021 student here. What subjects are you taking this year? :)

I've done everything and a lot more for my 3/4 subject (Methods) which I am really happy about, but I've been very lazy with my 1/2s. Hopefully I can motivate myself to get them done within the next week because I really don't want to be doing stuff the night before I go back.

Hello Izzythebear123!

Great mix of subjects there! :)

Regarding General vs Methods, I'd consider:
- what topics in maths you enjoy. Methods features topics such as calculus, algebra, trigonometry and probability whereas Further has a focus on topics applicable to real life such as financial maths and geometry.
- what you would like to do / study after Year 12. Some university courses require the completion of methods - pre-requisites for university courses you're interested in (you can search for uni course pre-reqs here.)

All the best for Year 11! :)

Hi all!
Been a pretty long time, but since school is approaching very quickly, just wondering how everyone will cope with distractions throughout the year whilst focusing on their 3/4 Subject?
I get very distracted every day and honestly cannot finish what I have planned or wanted to.
Anyone have a similar kind of habit?

Hey aspiringantelope!

I have this cheeky habit too haha. The ways I'm trying to cope with distractions are the following:

- Set a timer for 5 minutes and do some work. This usually helps me to get into the flow of work, but if not, I will remind myself of the why behind my subject choices.

- Find out what the distractions are. Something that distracted me for a little while was my phone. On my phone, I downloaded a free app called Your Hour that recorded how much time I was spending (wasting) on my phone (sometimes it was in excess of 4 hours :( ) and on each app, which really helped with pinpointing what I was wasting my time on. The app also has a phone fast option where you cannot use your phone for 2 hours. There are also apps like Forest that are designed to help you stay on task too by using an incentive (like planting a cute little tree!). Airplane mode and putting electronics in a different room / studying in a different room to distractions can be useful too.
There are also browser extensions like StayFocused on Google Chrome which can limit your time on certain sites of your choosing.

- Find out why you are being distracted and address those reasons head on. It might be helpful to use those distractions as a reward for studying! If you enjoy a certain hobby, you don't need to banish it.

- To-do lists to plan study sessions. It is easy to say that you have a SAC soon, but then put off study because you aren't sure how you will do so (if that makes sense). Planning what you will do before can help you ease into study more by having direction.

Sorry for the ramblings! Hope this helps :) All the best for this year (and beyond)!

Thank you for your tips, I'll definitely try and download an app on my phone to help me haha.

Ah yes, the workload is something else compared to Year 10 and below! Are you doing anything extracurricular wise? :)


I had my first HHD SAC today and boy I was stressed about it. But my friends gave me lots of words of encouragement (and doggo pics)! ;D
