    What is engineering studies?

    I have engineering as a bonus subject that I will probably end up dropping after trials. Our new teacher isn't very good and the previous teacher is retiring which is really upsetting. The old teacher has told us that a few students have spoken to him after first year at uni and said that...

    MX2 Marathon

    This question was ripped straight from the MX2 sample exam, Q12D - https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/wcm/connect/385e2f4e-b868-4c1e-97f4-56befe81375d/mathematics-ext-2-sample-examination-materials-2020.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID= Also in a mcgrathematics video on induction

    The guilt is starting to kick in

    Okay, thank you. My school does start doing exam style questions that get marked by teachers from the start of term 2 before school which should give me some extra time and feedback to do better.

    The guilt is starting to kick in

    My school does the same thing with physics in that we have the textbooks (didn't get given Nelsonnet) but we have ATOMI and get given sheets for homework. I do write notes in class (annoying that my teacher uses style for basically every lesson) but I might use our third task which is basically...

    The guilt is starting to kick in

    I'm starting to feel like I'm definitely not doing enough but I still really don't know how to study other than just doing past questions. I don't know how to study for economics and physics textbook questions (in focus at least) don't feel helpful at all. It also doesn't help that I don't know...

    silly mistakes

    That's exactly what I feel like I do now. Sometimes I don't even spot the errors because I'll look back at questions and follow my working out going through it, but I won't analyse my working to see if I did something wrong. My most common mistake is having a negative somewhere when it's...

    Scared to join because it's going to make me feel either a) awful, b) demotivated, or C) sad because I'm not doing enough

    My school has a short class meant for getting you connected to the internet and developing a study routine. Honestly the most boring class ever but it forced friend groups to separate which was somewhat helpful. Once you get a discussion going in a class, I'd you can contribute to it, people...

    Honestly had the same thing happen to me last year. You'll meet groups of people in some of your classes and find that you can relate to them. Eventually you get to the point of "if no one talks to me today, I will go introduce myself" (I say this but I never did). My best friend at my school...

    I'm I really that bad at hiding it? I only think there are 4-5 people in my year who know of BoS. Can go dm's if you want to confirm it

    I have done 75 minute periods, 80 minute, 100 minute already from year 9 (not double periods) so the jump to 2 hours wasn't too bad. Studying at home becomes difficult since we do so much in class but it makes it easier in a way since I only have 2 or 3 subjects to study per day if I study for...

    It's timetabled as 2 hours for MX2 on a Monday afternoon but the teacher generally takes us through the theory and a few examples, has us answer like 5 questions and lets us go so we generally spend an hour and a bit in there and then we can head home early.

    Not in the traditional sense. My Monday is 2 hours of english advanced, 2 hours of MX1, 2 hours of MX2 so I guess you could consider that a double period

    Some teachers are nice and give you a 5-10 minute break halfway through the lesson, others don't. Luckily I enjoy learning and am able to quite easily make it through lessons. (also probably helps some people prepare for 3 hour HSC exams as you already have to focus for 2 so you're 3/4 of the...

    The only thing that's good about 2hr periods is that you can get through a load of content in one lesson. Some maths lessons we can get 4-5 subtopics done (questions included). Since we get so much time we basically get no homework (which is both good and bad as you have nothing that forces you...

    We're on the same campus as a TAFE and uni so we never feel old. Its not a very competitive school and so some classes are quite small. e.g. y12 has like 220 people, MX1 has 14 people, English advanced has 95 or something. For year 11, there are 40 going into physics. Enrolment number usually...

    I go to a school that is only 11 and 12 (thank god), but I've volunteered to help out with the new year 11s tomorrow (y12 go back on friday). THERE ARE 340 Y11 STUDENTS STARTING TOMORROW. definitely a little anxious to go back though

    Increasing Handwriting Speed

    I started with 3 straight away but my hand would get tired pretty quickly. Once I noticed myself slowing down considerably, I swapped to another pen with only two batteries which allowed me to write for a bit longer. After I slowed down using 2, I just went to a regular pen and finished the...

    Productivity stuff?

    I hate that its only available to ios, macOS, and windows. I moved to android 2 months ago and the lack of support for it sucks
