It is very hard to go well in Standard, because the classes are usually unfocused and undedicated, you often don't get a great teacher and the texts themselves are much less interesting. Pretty much, how can you motivate yourself to go well in a standard class if it's a bad learning...

^^ oops ... I mean 18 units - still damn impressive :)

WOW! 20 units? Even in two years, that is very impressive - especially considering you have been ill. Well Done! :wave:

Quick question - do you guys access past papers online, or do you have hard copies from school? Or do you use those excel books that compile all of the past papers? I'm not too sure what way to go about it...

an excellent nun? with true blood as your icon... I like how you think...:hat:

Shazbaz - if you want to go well you still can if you really try. Talk to your teachers! Ask them what you need to learn to catch up. Like Nadiaa said, you just really need to focus. You probably now know the shitty feeling of getting crap marks- so make sure you learn all the material...

tv shows... (on the internet) - before you know hours have passed... but i can't stop watching them!

yeah, I agree. I grew up with Charmed and Buffy too. Personally, Buffy is my favourite - and I fully recommend watching all of Joss Whedon's other work including Angel (Buffy spinoff), Firefly, Dollhouse and Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog :D Joss Whedon is simply genius!

Fullmetal Alchemist is amazing. I had never watched anime before and my friends showed me FMA, and I really liked it (still do.) It has great characters, a really engaging and intense plot and heaps of twists. Watch it!

Re: What ATAR are you aiming for and realistically, what do you think you will get? Aiming for 90 ... but that's in an ideal world - anything above 80 or 85 would be fine. Still got my eye on that pretty 90+ though :D

I have all of: Buffy, (including season 8 graphic novels of course :D) Firefly, Chuck, Chuck, Supernatural, Angel, Dollhouse, Dexter, True Blood, Terminator: SCC, Scrubs

I have just planned out my entire extension 2 piece... I feel so much better now I know exactly where I'm going :D Now to actually writing it!:dog:

I've read some of my english texts and done some writing for extension two and started my art major. Apart from that, I've been watching Buffy: The Vampire Slayer :D I'm completely guilt tripping myself...

Of course! Trust me, you definitely are not the only one. Try to turn that fear into motivation, to prevent yourself from stuffing up, rather than letting it become debilitating. You can do it!:jump:

I think Wendy (the goddess of humanities) cleared up our doubts :D Well done Wendy!

Really use your teachers - they are there to help you. Write practice essays and creative writing pieces, hand it in to your teacher and ask for feedback. From doing this you'll learn how to improve, you'll form a good relationship with your teacher, not to mention improved marks!:hat...

Wow, there's heaps of really good advice here, thanks guys! This is all really helpful :D

I have four - ext 2 english piece, art major, society pip and ext history. If I get a substantial amount of them done then I'll keep history ext, if not then i'll drop it ...

Well done everyone for achieving amazing results! Namu and Anna haven't revealed their marks yet?

* Do a considerable amount of my art major. * Do a considerable amount of my society PIP * Do a considerable amount of my extension 2 piece * organise notes for everything I've done this term for future study. * beach :cool: exercise :hammer: and fun :hippie:
