I'm so numb

Well nothing to do now but keep grinding lel
What specifically are you struggling in physics with?
Like do you lose like a mark here and there
or is ti like you get a question like straight up wrong

The only thing I'm strong at in Physics exams is the long responses (5 - 6 markers)
I basically lose marks here and there, I'm unsure as to why I'm so bad in exams because I thought I was improving since I was getting better at doing past papers - apparently not.

And the thing is, I put in a lot of effort, 2 - 3 weeks prior to the exam, I was already reviewing my content and applying it into papers and all that effort translates to such a shitty mark.

If you want, you could post up or send me one of your answers and I could show you how I would do it if that might help?
The trick to 3-4 markers is having a logical progression in your answer imo, while covering all the bases

For Physics, I fail my pracs, I literally don't care about Physics. I know the formulas and I can do all those mathematical questions, but I just can't do the practical part of it. Our school was really bad, we never learnt Electricity and for year 9 and 10, we learnt Moving About in school and no proper science lesson.

 

[turntaker]

Thinking of dropping physics.

 

[turntaker]

What do you guys think

 

[Sien]

What do you guys think

i think you should drop out of school

 

[turntaker]

i think you should drop out of school

Oh... Why :/

 

[BandSixFix]

Babe please, I'm the one who makes us perfect

NOOO

How could you do this to meeeeee

 

[ml125]

Oh... Why :/

Bc why not lel

Somehow I did great in the exams I thought I flopped, and I failed the exam I was (2nd) most confident in
got 80% for 2U, I legit thought I was easy 95

:/

so many random +/- mistakes, really weird pedantic marking, and just random silly mistakes
average was 66, but still ugh

hopefully physics is better lele

Same bruv, i got 85% for 4u even though i thought i would get 95+. So many silly errors. Haven't done this bad in a maths test since like year 9

this post sums up how i feel for 2 of my subs (i thought i could get 90%)
>insert DAL's dp for a realistic representation of what i felt

So I have a question, does everyone here who does Maths (and seemingly does well in it) enjoy Maths? Or do you do like 3u and 4u just for the sake of ATAR and stuff?

 

[StudiousStudent]

I have a bio test tomorrow, worth 10%.

Feeling a lot more confident about this one, the teacher has assured us no content that hasn't been covered in class will be included - as was the case with half yearly - so this is my chance to bump up my rank (currently 6th).

I love maths

 

[StudiousStudent]

What is that food?

i'm wouldn't say i'm great but i'm above avg
My school offered acceleration which had morning and afternoon classes
I picked afternoon because i realized i could miss sports (also i legit can't open my eyes in the morning) and acceleration coincidentally forced us to do mx1.
Then i realized mx1 had great scaling so i kept it
I do not like maths but i can't say i hate it either. Also i picked it because i didn't like the other subs, basically used it to fill my units in
And that's how i ended up with maths

@Sien

Idk how people eat meat without rice
It feels so wrong

I love it as well. I'm always wanting to push and expand my knowledge on the subject.
I honestly think you can't do 4u without even the slightest interest

 

[Jakulore]

Oh I see, I used to really like Maths but years of putting up with my teachers (who couldn't do an equation without using the textbook) made me lose all interest and passion so I stopped trying at all and dropped it as soon as I went into Year 12.
