First off VCE students you are so lucky you can do pyschology in Yr 11/12.
Secondly, I would just like to ask you how much time did you actually spend studying? Be honest, and take the hour/s of "books out but on youtube" procrastination please.
Also where did you study, how did you do it, and did you make it fun or was it horrible but you just suffered through it. As a HSC student (soooo much better than Melbourne lol- would prefer not to have 4 seasons in one day) i would like to know these!
Thanks for the help!
Hmm, I probably spent between 20-30 hours extra time doing school work during an average week (during term). That was homework, assignments, and study (it was about 2-3 hours a night during the week and then about 5-6 hours per day on weekends, something like that). Not much of that was Youtube filled, but if I'm doing easy homework then yeah I might have had a video on in the background
In September and October, I did 9 hours a day fairly consistently (3 past papers per day was always my goal). I was a bit nuts
Studied at my desk almost all of the time, sometimes I'd relax and go out to the Kitchen table or even just sit on the lounge while writing notes, or whatever. Never went to the Library much, though when I did, it was actually really good. Maybe I should have done it more often
I've written heaps about the ways I studied, I tried so many I barely remember them all. Past papers heaps. Writing study notes. Recording video lessons to myself (which I dropped off later in the year, but they worked really well while I had the time, I wish I kept them going). Lots and lots of stuff, but in the HSC period it was all practice papers. It did suck a bit at times, but I was motivated to succeed, it got me through
At least in our physics subjects we don't have to talk about sociology
Another reason why VCE Science is way better than HSC Science: At least until the syllabus changes in 2019
