How To Step Up from Year 11 and Ace Year 12

[@v0792]

1) Falling behind on study notes 2) Make notes one week ahead and do one subject a day 3) Integrate HSC questions into notes because ultimately that is what you are being tested on in the exams and if you cannot answer that then you are stuffed.

I worked so hard when I was in year 11, naturally. But now I’ve started year 12 I feel so overwhelmed! :(

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Bummer, sorry to hear Ethan! What in particular has made you feel so overwhelmed?

[@ethanstenner9397]

@@ArtofSmartTV I think the whole thinking about the HSC and how everything counts has really made myself put the pressure on. I think I need to just find a nice study routine that I get into and map out my time well for each subject

I just started year 12 - do you have any tips on managing a major work/ body of work? I feel pressure to know my idea already

[@ArtofSmartTV]

I think it's OK to not know your idea yet! I think the main thing is this term to spend time trying to develop your idea, so you can use the summer holidays effectively to make significant progress!

I'm about to start Year 11 in about 1-2 weeks, do you have any tips that I could take on board? Maybe how to get over procrastination and to stay motivated and disciplined while studying? And should I be studying in Year 11? If so, for how long?

do you have any tips on exam anxiety? Im so prepared but I still shake in the exam and I feel anxious as heck! please help

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Hey Zain, we're releasing a video soon on this exact question, so stay tuned :)

[@aquarxus4894]

Do you recommend sticking with a language as a subject, even if the teacher is bad

[@ArtofSmartTV]

I think it depends - do you enjoy it? Can you teach yourself it? Will you be motivated to teach yourself?

[@hollyrachwal1302]

Hi, I have a question. Where can we find hsc questions that can help with study notes?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Hey Holly, the NESA website lists all the prior past HSC papers, including this years new syllabus HSC :)

[@ashmitalal7119]

are the assessments in yr 12 based off of the study notes and content learnt in class?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Generally yes as these cover the HSC syllabus!

[@fishyrishy788]

How do I make study notes before they teach the content? I make my notes of what is covered in class. I am very confused in that manner can I get some help Rowan. Can I also get tips on how I make study notes in general.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Hey there! One way you can make study notes beforehand is by using your textbook however if you don't, you may be able to ask your teacher for their slides beforehand. Either way, you should always know what's coming up next by looking at your syllabus :) We've got this super comprehensive article on writing study notes so be sure to take a look and hopefully it helps you out! artofsmart.com.au/study/effective-hsc-study-notes/

[@zozozooz6721]

Hey there , that video was really helpful, however in my case I kinda slacked off the beginning of my year 12 journey. And I’m looking forward to come back, but it’s hard to stay mentally motivated to study when you get bad results at the start. Is it possible for me to recover?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Definitely! You've still got roughly 75% of your total marks for your HSC on the table still, so plenty of opportunity to make a turn around :)

[@laurenhickry7523]

Hi, I have a question. How can you write study notes one week ahead when you havent learnt the work yet? Thanks.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

You go ahead and teach yourself :)

[@bhagyashreesrikrishna2794]

I'm starting going to start year 11, 1. What are the most best scaling subjects?? 2. How do i best prepare myself for hsc examinations? 3. Should i take on more than one major work if i'm comitted on extra curricular activities and an addition to 12 units?

[@yajpillay8789]

Ready for year 12?

[@yerlocalpeanutdealer795]

1. Who cares about scaling. Literally who cares. 2. Pay attention in class and study. 3. All depends on your schedule and how much effort you want to put in.

[@saltaylor2929]

where do you get the HSC questions from to integrate into your notes ?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

From prior HSC exam papers available from NESA, or from School Trial papers :)

[@ootharju]

Hi Rowan, sorry if this has been already asked before, but is there any difference between notes in class and study notes? Thanks in advance

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Good question. Class notes are not study notes. Class notes aren't necessarily structured around the syllabus, and intentionally structured to cover all the key content from multiple sources. They simple are a record of what you did in class that day.

You mean HSC???
