5th Years- How much study/homework are you doing at the weekends?

partyatmygaff · 30-09-2009 03:55PM

Yeah I do about 5 hours of homework and 4 hours of study every night....
Honest

I suspect some lying going around, How can you study for that long daily if your only 4 weeks in 5th year? Theres not much to study yet.

Really
1 - 2 hours homework depending on how bad it may be.
10 mins study or maybe 30mins-1hour if I've a test. No more needed at the moment.

Yeah you did 15 hours and I can fly. :rolleyes:

Tests are coming in earnest to me. Starting to up the study (including homework time) to about 3, at worst 4 hours.

hi i'm in fifth year aswell,

ye it wud depend if ur talkin bout homework or study....i wud finish all my homework which so far is taking approx 2-3 hrs, and i wud giv another 1hr 30mins on revision of 2 or 3 subjects. if u dont get much homework den do more revision. do between 4-5hrs over sat nd sunday. nd dats only de weekend..

i no ervy1 says it but, it wud be a gud idea 2 make out a study timetable and stick to it! revise 1-2 subjects for 30min-1hr every night but giv homework de priority.

i no it seems lyk a pain in de ass! but de LC is effectivly goin 2 decide ur life!!!!! most ppl dont seem 2 realise dat till dey gt into 6th year nd den de pressure hits.

The critical part of that would be the "tests coming in earnest". I have maths in a few days, biology and physics next week. Maths is okay...need to revise earlier things in the chapter though, so that's a good bit of work, I've done NOTHING in biology, seriously need to revise that, and physics I need to revise some of the stuff, it's like maths again.

Hmm... Seven hours of school, fifteen of work and two hours for sleeping and eating. If this is true, I see breakdowns in the future

I really hope that isn't aimed at me. I spent an hour on biology homework on Monday, followed by an hour of study, then almost 2 hours on physics study because I had a test in both subjects on Tuesday.

Ah don't! I'm leaving the proper study for later on. Enjoy the time while you have it.

How does that work? There aren't 15 spare hours in a day:eek: Or are you talking per week?

Well, the thread title does ask "over the weekend", so presumably that would include Friday evening / Sat / Sun.

@ nipps: Welcome to Boards, but please lay off the txtspit, it doesn't go down well on this site!

All honours but im doing ordinary maths and Irish:rolleyes:

Im doing evening study in school which is after school for two hours..

answer me · 03-10-2009 12:43PM

is it possible to get 450 points out of a possible 470 points or is that just impossible?

also,do you think getting 430 and 360 points out of a possible 470 is realistic?

Our school cut that, 'cession an all. It's annoying, I can't study at home there's too many distractions.
Anyway I usually do about three hours over the weekend...all on Sunday evening :rolleyes:

norwegianwood · 04-10-2009 01:26PM

tbh i'm not doing much at the moment, we've only been back about 4 weeks! if you get too stressed about it now, you'll be totally burned out by 6th year.
