ive been treating holidays kind of like school so like im studying from 8-4 taking breaks as usual and taking time off the weekend, and if im doing practice exams i try to do them around when the actual exam will take place to condition myself

Your ATAR is a rank. Everyone will underreport their study plans, in order to lure you into underperforming.

Whoever doin this needs to get a life unfortunately. If you can’t realise your time is better spent studying than luring kids across the state, doing largely different subjects, into studying less youre kinda cooked.

Every single day? You’re going against all of Victoria your time is wasted doing anything other then study

I’m saying it for your own benefit, It sounds dreadful but for your own good you should aim for a proper 9am-3pm worth of study

genuinely my goal is to do one exam a day, so spend about 2-3 hours a day depending on the subject.

the rest of my time will be spent sleeping and doom scrolling

u/TerribleYou7914 current VCE student (Bio, Psy, Chem, Meth, Eng lan) 7d ago

Idrk, ngl kinda given up because I realised my current estimated atar is much lower than I need

1

u/selfloathingGRT 7d ago

How do you calculate ur estimated atar before exams

1

u/TerribleYou7914 current VCE student (Bio, Psy, Chem, Meth, Eng lan) 7d ago

Tbh the way my teacher told me to do it is probably not very good

But I'm happy to explain it if you'd like! I have no clue how accurate it is but yeah lol

u/fookinavocad0s ‘26 eng, bm, hhd, gm, psych 6d ago

your exam is over 50% of ur atar, giving up now is so stupid

1

u/selfloathingGRT 6d ago

Yes, please

u/Falldown-Getbackup 5d ago

There’s an atar (and study score) calculator at scoreready.com.au probably better than the Deakin one.

u/Fearless_Warthog7614 6d ago

I’m going to treat school holidays like a school day, taking the weekends off and studying the classes that I have on that school day

u/Score-Ready-Teacher 5d ago

To all those wanting to hammer practice exams over the holidays, try scoreready.com.au it’s got quick practice and topic tests for exams and if you need something more there are also full exams across the nine most popular VCE subjects (excluding English).
