I had my first chem test today. I was genuinely shocked by the increase in skill curve from high school science to senior school science. It was not a pretty scene.

Also looking at your signature, how many units are you doing? Counting them up, it looked like you had 14 in total. That is quite a lot.

i have my physics prac investigation test tomorrow seeing ur message about senior science made me scared LMAO

It might just be my school. I remember my chem teacher saying she'd make this test especially hard to scare the shit out of us. Yours is probably different.

great! really happy with all my assessment results so far, but I just know that English will ruin my streak of first places in every subject

i feel like i am the only person on this forum who is most confident in their english performance than everything else, overall the exam stretch has been good but at the same time i am worried mostly about 4u maths and bio

 

[Masaken]

ugh going through it. i had four assessments last week and one today - three more to go. i'm so ready for it all to be over

you got this!! i'm so sick of exams too, wish it could be all over already

I'm pleased my school decided to give most of our marks back next term. That way I don't have to live with the consequences of my actions.

no way, getting them now and getting hit with the blow before the holidays > after the holidays

But like if you get your mark back instantly then you feel a direct cause and effect between the amount you studied and your result. If you wait a few weeks you forget all about that and your mark becomes meaningless. If you're a bit tentative to getting your results back - like me - than it's better to see them later when they mean nothing.

 

[HazzRat]

That being said though. I do get good marks so idk why I'm complaining.

getting the blow right after --> more active reflection on your results, then take the time to revise and grind in the holidays, blow lessens during this time too
getting the blow in a new term --> you've kind of forgotten it (at least for me), and if you take each new term as a kind of 'reset' it kinda sucks to get those results when you come back to school and you have less time to work on what you did wrong

i mean i'm confident in english but i am the filler of the bos quota of the singular english extension two student

my mate is saying 3u english is 100x better than 2u... and honestly looking at their texts it probably is, i don't see any shakespeare for a start

we can swap, i'll take your 4u ability and you can have my english

it's more interesting definitely but i find the note taking and analysis is much more complex (which i guess is to be expected lmao). also i am a shakespeare apologist so no shakespeare is not necessarily a benefit for me. but i do love e1 i just romanticised mod a to the point where nothing compares

i've never heard anyone on this planet say any of this or share any of this sentiment

but i do love e1 i just romanticised mod a to the point where nothing compares

i love module a, my favourite module so far, it's so interesting and out of all the texts (i'm currently reading my module b text right now) the ones i did for mod a are my favourite. what texts are you doing for this module, out of curiosity?

i know i'm the only one with any favourable shakespeare sentiment - i did a production of macbeth at 11 or so and since then i've just really enjoyed it - i'm definitely in the minority though!

mod a is and continues to be iconic; i did tempest and hagseed which i found super enjoyable
