    theres no need why bother do that much study, tell whoever(parents, parent,) that im not studying for jc as it is a waste of time.

    Start studying for leaving instead

    Same here but I'm still confident :D

    I'm not too worried. I passed my mocks no problem without studying. I'm doing about 5 hours a week. I treat homework as study. If I essay for homework I put it in my notes hardback and write down keywords and stuff. Saves a lot of time.

    Em, relax there. If you do end up getting all A's, it won't actually do anything other than get you into all honours classes, which all B's and C's would also do.

    cant understand how that is a lot, its 3 hours, and i might get 1 hour homewokr so thats 2 hours study if im lucky because i have training a good bit and so on, others have posted saying they are doing 4 hours study a night

    They told use that 3/4 hours a weekday should be our bare minimum on top of homework making sure we do at least 4 hours a day on weekends.

    They have a habit of forgetting to factor in leisure time and sleeping hours. Following what they say will probably lead to bad grades due to being worn out from always working.

    Hence I'm incredibly lazy about it.

    It's really quite funny to listen to what the teachers say about the JC, i remember at the start of 3rd year all the teachers said that if you didn't work hard all year you wouldn't do well in it. Then around a month ago they said the same thing, except about the remaining time, adn then today in assembly on our last day, we were told that even if we'd done nothing all year that if we studied hard for the next 2 weeks then we would still be able to get top results:rolleyes:
    Classic teachers, not knowing what there on about:D
