    When do you think it's acceptable to start staying at home a few days to study during school?I know it's a bit early at the moment..

    Well I'm taking the rest of the week off to study for my Irish oral but I won't do it again until around mid-May I'd say.

    I've taking off two days this week for my Irish oral, because of the 40%. No days planned to take off for the French oral though.

    I'd say try and stay in school, maybe take the odd day off if you're behind on your study plan. I just feel I concentrate more if I attend school during the day and do study at night time. It all depends on how you work best though.

    I took the day off today in prep for my Irish Oral tomorrow, whenever you feel you'd benefit more from staying off then go ahead.

    I've been taking a couple of days off during the week for the past two months, but only the days that I have less than three classes. For example I'd take Wednesdays off because I've only got two classes, but I'd never take fridays off because I have triple chemistry, double english, irish and biology. I feel I get much more done at home, I think it is easier to concentrate. And I cover more topics too because i use the time that i would usually be on my school bus (1.5 hours per day!) to study. I think at this stage of the game, we all know what works best for us, and I've seen a marked improvement in my grades since I started doing this, so I'm going to continue on this way.
