Hi everyone!
I have been studying around 4 hrs daily for the last two weeks for the year 10 entry. But I am genuinely stressing out so badly cause i started studying very late, as of today i have 4 weeks left. But I genuinely want this more than anything. I have learning disabilities that make retention hard or focusing hard but ive pushed thru and tried my best. In the past 2 weeks I have committed all the time to covering all topic and subtopics for NR/ MATH.
Now for the next 4 weeks, i have to lock in for english and also just get perfect at maths/nr thru practice exams for timing/accuracy. I like english way more and im better at it then maths but then somehow its the hardest thing to improve. Ive tried everything, reading, vocab quizlets, writing a bunch. But it all seems to go to waste cause I never know how to apply the feedback I recieve and im getting overwhelmed with the limited time I have left.
Also background info;
Last year, as ashamed as I am to admit it, I did not put any effort into studying. Mainly cause I genuinely did NOT want to get in. I spent maybe 2 (not focused) hours a week around 6 weeks before the exam. ( similar timeframe to now as i started studying 6 weeks before, but now doing daily focused study) I used spectrum tuiton materials, and they were actually good i just wasnt. Anyway, I sat the exam, didnt try to max potential and obvi didnt get in. I got aa in all english subjects and aa in either MATH/NR and average in the other.
I am trying out for NHS, and from my knowledge i dont know anyone else from my school trying out for the exam but i could very well be wrong as i kinda have only looked at my circle of people. However, im not sure i would consider us a smart school. Maybe average with a few gems. Anyway, just looking for advice!
