How long does everyone study for?

certifiedcrepe

The title says it all!

For me:
After school monday-thursday: 4 hours not including breaks
After school friday: 3 hours not including breaks
Saturday: 3 hours not including breaks
Sunday: depends on if I'm in the mood to study, but this will change from here on! 3-5 hours probably

I should really stop going onto these study-related threads... They just depress me.

certifiedcrepe

I'm the same usually

I...just go on my laptop and type out a few sample answers or do a few compositions. Then I try to learn them. No excessive study needed. :pac:

Cool. I'm doing 23 hours a day, is this enough does anyone know?

Not nearlly enough. I cannot believe you spend an entire hour doing something unrelated to studying.

No, it's ****ing disgraceful tbh.

I do about 7 hours each weekday but I take the weekends off. That being said, I count going to school as studying!

Zomg Okay

I barely touch my books and I'm f**king disgusted with myself. I repeatedly told myself I wouldn't waste Easter. Guess what I did. :rolleyes:

Going to get my parents to hide the cables off the PlayStation for weekdays (couldn't even begin to consider contemplating the very possibility of doing that myself) and really knuckle down from here on out. I need it if I'm going to go up 125 points on my mocks.

School night I do 2 hours cause I get back home at like 7 and am tried as hell!
2 hours excluding homework

Weekends are just diffcult for me, you see I have this no study rule that I have managed to keep since I could remember...and well its a hard habit to break.
So weekend are like do I feel like it.
That's why I love these long holidays, I feel up on coffee and study like a monster XD

I want to take the piss so bad, but I promised I'll refrain, as it'll "lend a kind of ease to the next abstinence".

I finish at 1pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I get about 5hours done as I usually try to make time to go to the gym in between and it keeps my mind focused and from feeling tired. I didn't go much over the holidays so I could do more studying. I might cut it off for a while until after the LC .
I'm not sure yet or maybe just keep it for the weekends and fridays.


Then the other days I finish at 15.30. 4hours.
The weekend if I wake up early at least by 10am I'll get 6 hours done otherwise it can be only 3/4hours.

I do get really tired after school sometimes and I end up putting study off. I'm going to try not to be like that now.

I did absolutely nothing until last week. I started studying big time for the Irish oral.
I'm going to fail the French one though; I don't mind I don't need French for points.

But..
After the oral I'm going to shoot for minimum 2 hour/day with 4/5 hours on Saturdays and maybe 3 hours on Sundays?

Good fight social life.

Wesc.

Only going to school 3 days a week from now on Just going to head to the local library, I think school's a waste of time tbh all my teachers (bar applied maths) are sh*t. Am, usually I just half study for the whole night like I'd be on facebook/boards a bit or listening de la musique... but that'll change from now on I might delete the 'ol facebook!

Canard

I have mostly crap teachers but I have to finish the maths and history courses :rolleyes:

reznov

Same situation here! Useless teachers. Once the mocks finish, school should too.

Wesc.

Only thing is the principal's a pr*ck. During the break I've got a letter home and a phonecall from them from missing days the last term. Ugh. My mum, on the phone to the principal, (by this stage I had missed several Irish classes and the teacher was pissed) just told him that I found the teacher to be sh*t. He said that wasn't an acceptable attitude and still must attend class.


I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW.

Namlub

That was my plan too, but during the holidays the new principal sent out a letter about how there's going to be a 'crackdown' on attendance from now until June (and on uniforms because we clearly don't have better things to worry about). They can gtfo, in all the subjects where we've finished the course the teachers don't have a clue what to do in class and it's only going to get worse...

PictureFrame

I started study at 7.30am this Morning, only finished now! French Oral tomorrow and the thoughts are awful!

reznov

We're also having a crackdown. It's quite a spectacle! I wonder why schools are bothered so much, considering every course is completed. Revision in school? Hilarious! Luckily schools hold no bearing on your LC results, so you really are autonomous as long as you are responsible and study.

PictureFrame

I'm not near finished the course in Geography/Maths/Music :mad: it's ridiculous..

reznov

Seriously? Maths is the course you'd want to have plenty of revision time. You're going to have to pull a 24 hour a day study to finish, I'm afraid.

cathal_flynn

I find study so hard..... I'm really fu1ked....

We're having a 'crackdown' too :cool: roll calls during every class and texts home to our parents. Just for the 6th years, it's not like we'd just be hanging around town...

We have five chemistry chapters left :mad:. And we're not finished maths either :S

Canard

PictureFrame just making an observation, but how can you not be done the geography course if you're on Geoecology? You'll be grand!

We have to do France in history, finish integration then do sequences and series in maths and we're leaving out matrices & complex numbers and induction...which is an awful idea but hey, what can you do. In geography a lot of things have been asked in the past on my option that we just havent done and arent in the book which is really worrying and my teacher didnt know what to do. Hard to stay optimistic with that, ugh.

And in French we still havent done the subjunctive! :eek:

</moan>

Looks like I'll be doing a lot more study from here on out :rolleyes:

Eh, what if induction comes up in q4!?!? It did in 2007 and my teacher thinks it will again! I think you could do matrices and complex numbers by yourself tbh, the questions are similar to algebra and I think they're actually really easy! Just to be safe... sequences and series is hard enough.

Exactly my thoughts! In 2006 it was the entire C part of question 6...I was thinking of learning matrix methods of solving simultaneous equations but I'm not an extremely mathsy person so while I could do it, it would really impinge on my other subjects since my time would be better spent on revising what we have done. My teacher might cover those aspects but I dunno - if nothing else I'll learn induction anyway!

I thought S&S looked quite easy - matrices and all these polar numbers look horrible :eek: Ahhh decisions

You're all making me want to just drop out of school. I'm in fifth year and I do next to nothing.

If there's no way ye can get out of attending school completely, but you'd be better off studying away somewhere than sitting in a class doing nothing, ask the principal if there's a classroom or somewhere you can go to study on your own. I stopped going to school after the orals when I was in LC, the principal didn't have a problem with a few of us doing that and coming in for maths every 2nd day or so, and others were allowed stay in a classroom. They should know who actually wants to study, not just doss away from class.

Namlub

Wish it was that easy for me. I had a free for French today and everyone was being ridiculously loud so I went to the library, principal came in and told me to go back to class.
