Ayyyyyee I'm excited to stay updated on your HSC journey! Welcome to the forums, I'm relatively new as well! I feel the same as you! As soon as these holidays start (tomorrow for me - after my last exam) I'm kicking myself into gear! It's going to be a busy 2 weeks but I'm so ready! How are you planning on completing all your work during the holidays? And how much work do you have to get done? (I have tons omg). Oh and good luck on your SOR exam!
Hello dcesaona!
Thank you for the welcoming message!
Funnily enough, my business teacher was the one who encouraged the class to go on here and sign up. I've been observing this website for quite some time and I look through all these threads and see how students are quite intelligent with their extensive vocabulary and hobbies that include reading science-base materials and documentaries on the weekend. And honestly, I'm just an ordinary girl, studying almost everyday (still having a social life of course) and trying to enjoy year 12 inconjunction with the 5 minute breakdowns and lil pep talks I have in the mirror before exam week. Sorry for the prolix ahaha.
As for your question, I'm trying to maintain my studies and social life during the holidays. However, prioritising year 12 is number one on my list. My plan for the holidays is to analyse and test suitable study methods that I have gained prior to half-yearlys and testing whether if there's a more suitable and efficient approach in certain subjects. I am also trying to teach myself essay skills for AOS/Modules especially listing trends I have '
discovered' in recent papers and start creating dot points that can be used for any question that will be asked in the HSC. Since I'm currently doing chem chem, it is a very heavily content subject that, revising POM and TAE core topics by doing past papers and checking the marking guidelines will be effective for me to work on my strengths and weaknesses.
PLUSWriting study notes on future core topics / syllabus content to get me ahead will give me an idea of what I will be tackling down next term. This is a major HINT for all year 12 students I think. I would also like to attend to trials lectures to extend my knowledge in certain subjects from another perspective rather than myself and my teachers.
MY GENERAL PLAN:
Write down everything I need to go over on:
1. rewrite notes on chem, business, sor
2. practice maths hsc questions
3. improve essay skills and vocabulary (Ironically, reading may turn into a hobbie these holidays, but then again, it can only be driven by boredom ahah)
4. organise my folders, notes, study room, life etc.
And that is it. How about you?? Goodluck on surviving/enjoying year 12 this year!!!
