Did you study much?

exiot

Just wondering how everyones study plans worked for them during the Holidays. Mine failed miserably as alot of my friends are in college and I joined them in alot of drinking.
I'd say I only got about 8 - 10 hours of study done, when I was suppose to be studying all this week.. ha ha

how did ye do?

I meant to study all this week; but a combination of getting up at 2 and watching too much trash tv soon put an end to any chance of getting any major work done. Now ive realised that ive 6 weeks to the mocks in which i have to learn.... EVERYTHING. And a history project on top of that.
So im a bit of a bad way

oh thank the lord, i thought everyone else studied all week! im in the same boat, i have to learn 2 years work and do the history research project and geogarphy project in 6 weeks... meanwhile making life-altering decisions bout the ol cao. should be a good few months! anyone have some bottled time for sale? i just dont have enough myself....

I start my mocks on the 8th or something like that so I'm a bit worried, however my mocks are seperated by by mid-term break which apart form the obvious disadvantage has two advantages.

1. I will study for my mocks.

2. By feeling the pressure of the mocks I'll be forced to study and hopefully be better prepared for the actual LC.

On top of that I'm hoping that the 4 or 5 week period between now and when I start will be sufficient time to bone up on the subjects with a bit of organisation of free time and one of those study plan contraptions.

Did a fair bit of revising but not nearly enough, averaged about an haour a day. Hangovers and just general, laziness held me back.

I didn't open a book either and I don't know if my mocks are on before my midterm or after, none of my teachers knew before xmas.

Jonny Arson

Ah chill out guys! Yours truly started studying for his mocks with 5 days to spare and stopped until 2-3 weeks before the LC. In other words don't kill yoursleves studying!

Yeah don't worry too much. I did a day or two for my mocks, and uh, about a day for each subject for the LC, back when I did it. graaaand.
