How's everyone coping? (1 Viewer)

[jnney]

tbh im not too keen to go into medicine anymore because it just seems too hard. but ive already signed up for medentry and so i might put in some effort into umat.

If you've already decided this, then don't stress about the umat. Put minimal effort into it. You don't want the extra pressure to affect your performance in the trials.

 

[funkiirose]

yeah im not stressing which makes me even more stressed because i see other people stressing (if you get what i mean). im annoyed because my half yearly report was sent out a few weeks ago and i not happy with it at all

Love how all the lurkers are posting now haha.

Anyways, I think you should progressively start doing work so, for example:

Day 1 - Finish homework, 1 hour revision of X subject
Day 2 - Finish homework, 1.5 hour revision of X and Y subject

Do not make it time-based like above, make it goal-based since I am unsure of what your goals are and what you need to complete.

well ive decided the fields i will go into will be engineering/science/med so im doing umat so i can actually have a chance of getting into med as opposed to not doing it and having absolutely no chance, eliminating my options to just engineering/science. i dont really have much of a passion yet so its best i keep my options as wide as possible i think.

 

[jaechen]

Honestly, you shouldn't be discouraged since its "too hard". That's with anything in life. Even if its hard or easy, chase the dream anyways if you're determined enough otherwise you won't succeed in anything. I recommend you keep going for med if you're passionate regardless of what people say and how many setbacks you experience.

yeh but i also gotta think realistically if im capable of going into med. i guess its just if im determined/passionate enough right?

Depends. You can be realistic but great persistence, determination and passion would usually make you go the distance. I don't think people half heartedly go for med, they either go for it or don't. I'm just guessing here.

I know right. People should be going for what they think they will enjoy, if not it's just a waste of a lot of time.

Honestly to the above poster about med, are you really passionate to do med? cause I can't tell if the worry about getting in is making you sound hesitant or your heart is not truly in it. Do not do med, let alone anything if you don't have passion for it. Bad idea even if you are capable of getting in.

But if you do want to do med, TRY! There's infinitely more chance of getting in if you try, and if you don't get in first year, you can try transferring, graduate etc.

As for me, how am I coping after another few hours...

Fine except absolutely hating Modern History and in particular Ho Chi Minh. The part b personality questions are Oh whhhhyyy didn't I stick with black and white, logical cause and effect, incentive and reward economics which also had an amazing teacher

Saigon - Luved it and is my Vietnamese hometown :') Lovehate, I'm sure your regrets are much lesser than mine haha. At above poster, in my opinion, I only think you should target for only one particular field but it's up to you. For me, I already know what I want and it's gon' be a wild ride.

Well a lot of people decide what they want to do later in the year. If you decide you want to do med then, then it is obviously too late if you haven't done UMAT, so doing UMAT just in case is a reasonable decision.

 

[king chopper]

Starting to stress out with all these exams/assignments in next week or two

 

[Clean Sweep]

Does anyone think it's normal to not stress just before the exam even though you know you won't do well because you haven't studied enough? It happens to me and in the end I somehow manage to beat my friends who studied their ass off.

 

[Skeptyks]

Well.

 

[eat_well]

Oh my goodness..I can see my physics rank going down the toilet . Stuffed my test up BADLY today and it was worth 35%. Lost at least 6 marks and there were only 42 marks altogether. The worst thing about it was that everyone else found it extremely easy and got all the marks I lost.
I screwed up maths as well. Lost at least 4 marks. I still have this tiny glimmer of hope that I might be able to achieve a percentile in the 90s but I have a feeling that won't happen due to silly errors.
I feel so upset at the moment . I don't want a bad ATAR just because I screwed these assessments up.

 

[petermeetswendy]

Absolute shit. The teacher is wasting my time to the point where I have to make a body of work in three weeks for this assessment worth 25-30%. Fucking great, top job.

lol nice dp :d

we meet again.
