Chemistry SAC tomorrow, I'm pretty nervous won't lie. But I've been doing so much organic chem, I should have done more and not wait last minute to do it. I don't know how I'll go and honestly it is what it is. If I get a bad grade, I'm just gonna push forward and if I do, good for me then and when I finish this SAC, gotta do my english Oral over the weekend because it's due next week so yeah. Das it for today, I'll update how I went on the SAC tomorrow.

Chem SAC went pretty well I think. I made a silly mistake when comparing moles. Next up is the english Oral I have to do and then we back on that maths grind once more, lets get this.

I'm back, so last day of term 2 today, nothing happened aside from finishing my English Oral. It's the holidays now and I plan to use it wisely, so basically study everyday like it's a normal school day so that also means that I'm gonna be posting here daily too, I need to keep my study momentum going otherwise I'll crumble so yeah, tomorrow probably chem and bio so yeah see you then.

We're so back now, been doing all sorts, language analysis essays, chemistry, Bio but yet to some math. I've finally settling into the mindset and feel so motivated rn. I've been doing so much but without getting burned out, I've been going to the gym/exercise frequently for athletics coming up and waking up full of energy at 5 in the morning. Feeling quite content at the moment, been praying more too. Going to do more tomorrow, most likely english as it's my weakest subject and more of the science subjects and that's it for the 4 days I've been gone so yeah. Bye.

2nd week of holidays already, and feeling good about the upcoming SACs on the first week, will have to do some english though and some essay practises for language analysis and more practise questions more methods and getting used to the formatting and language they use in the type of questions. For bio, I'm going to school tomorrow to do a practise SAC in a classroom (school library is open during the holidays) and time myself in SAC conditions so I can get used to the conditions and not feel as pressured when taking the actual SAC but so far everything so good 🙂.

Bombed the English SAC, and a methods SAC tomorrow and hopefully I don't get stitched by my calculator on the 1st part of the Methods SAC. I take full responsibilty on how did on the SAC, only moving and looking forward from here. See you (my bad I was gone for 10 days personal reasons)

Welp, my calculator was not calculating thats for sure, I reckon I just passed raw so uh yeah. I have no idea why this SAC was so calc based I was really hoping for actual working out by hand so that's something, I honestly hate my methods teacher, got a vendetta against her and up next Bio SAC which I definitely won't fail( I think). So yeah bye

velvet

lucas i hate calculator portions of sacs too..hand working out just makes it easier for my brain to process to steps, yknow?

lucas

velvet oh for sure, the calculator is so rng sometimes, you either get some random number or bloody syntax error which is so bad but I definitely much prefer working out by hand

I'm back for a bit, so I had my bio SAC on tuesday and I think I knew enough that I have passed which is good, the bad news for some people but good news for me, we might have to resit the Methods SAC due to many grammatical errors and also a student in my class has done the same sort of SAC with the same questions which is unfair to the rest of students. In all my subjects so far so good as well, Specialist math needs more practice down, biology I can slack off for a bit, chemistry I need a lot of practise on and english I need to do essays right this instant. That's it for today, stay safe bye

Got my Bio SAC result back when I wasn't supposed to, got an A on it pretty content with how I did, so far that's the only and first good grade from my standards this year, put it all to God and he took care of it and made peace with myself (I'm not trying to evangelize dont flame me), this is only the start so yeah, that's an achievement for sure, see you soon.

lucas

KingYen like in a good way?

KingYen

lucas Ofc! It's Sung Jin Woo, that's a great pfp

So I failed the Methods SAC great but on the bright side I got a high on my english SAC somehow so I'm 2 for 1 this semester. I've been doing a lot of chem so I can do well on these upcoming SACS since I didn't pick it up last year. I'm going to keep it that way. I won't one SAC ruin this semester. For the Bio SAC, I might get marked down apparently which I swear if I do, finna crash out I got 87% on it so that better not turn into an 85 or below. I have Specialist SAC in the next 2 weeks so got to be more organized and practice for it. Gotta forge a routine for this upcoming Spesh SAC, I'll probably ask my spesh teacher anyway for more tips for the SAC. I feel like I'm starting to adopt the 'wildcard' mentality but we will see.

Hello, it's been a rough couple of days, keeping it a buck. I have the Specialist SAC i believe next friday and I've been studying for it a bit now and where I'm aiming for a minimum 60%, it's not the best I know but I'm gonna be realistic about it but that doesn't mean I'm gonna just study for a '60%', I pray to God, he'll be with me at all times. Right now, I'm noticing I'm kinda struggling with internal conflict and don't take this as if I'm bragging or anything like that, I got a 85% today on a bio quiz (not a SAC) and 71% on a chem test but for some reason I don't feel satisfied enough, I look to my peers and they get a better score than I do. I don't know if I'm just envious or am I just ambitious to the point where I know myself I can do better. I also never realised or took into consideration the work my parents have done to get me here like I was at work and this happened at school too, the thought about it made me tear up, I would go to the bathroom and sob about it and I want to help them out anyway I can as well. I feel as if I carry such a heavy burden on my back alone and sometimes it's too much you know. Sorry for the vent and yeah any advice will help. thx

lucas Hi there! It's good that you've realised the hard work your parents have done to get you here, but you shouldn't feel guilty about it. I also see that you often compare yourself to others. A quote is that 'comparison is the thief of joy' and that will always be true. There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but when you start comparing yourself to others, it's envy. You never carry the weight alone, there are your peers, family and this forum who will always be there to carry the weight with you as well. You got this!!!!
