The methods exam.
The tech free was nice. It was expected level of difficulty, and the numbers weren't too nasty.
But the tech active...
Absolute bullcrap. It was insanely difficult, and everyone else felt the same way. Like, nothing could have prepared us for what was on the tech active exam. Nothing.

Yoooo I'm back. I had my Ancient history final exam yesterday.
It was pretty good actually, I expected the synthesis question to be crazy difficult but we figured a way around it so it was cool. Just Chemistry and Physics and I'm done. Its hard to believe in like 9 days I'll be done with all my exams and I'll be able to sleep in, not wake up and my first thought being study haha.
Anyways, I did paper 1 and 2 2020 for chem, and it was alright, just need to fix up a few mistakes. So yeah, that's about it.
Just a little addition haha: Problems by Weathers is a pretty awesome song
Good luck fellow '22ers! Its the last sprint and we've all got this!!
-jinx_58
LmaoOOO I just had a little cry about chemistry and everything because its so overwhelming and hectic. I've been pushing all my feelings and emotions down because I can't deal with em and they're lowkey surfacing and I'm praying that they don't. Year 12 amiright.
But hey, I found my old redox book and it takes me back to the time when I fully understood redox, :')
Peace out,
-jinx_58
Chemistry was nice. Paper 1 was pretty alright, and I think I did well. Paper two was deffos more difficult though. It was more difficult than paper 2 in 2021 and 2020 which was stupid and there were a few questions that were sooo confusingly worded.
Just Physics on Friday and I'm outta school. Damn that weirdly hits the feels, never though I'd be saying that so soon
Just the final hurdle '22'ers, we've got this!!
-jinx_58
Yup, tomorrow's my Physics exam, the final exam for high school ever. (Damn time flies)
I think I'll be alright, I did Papers 1 and 2 for 2020 and it went alright, so that's not too bad. Imma do the 2021 papers now and fingers crossed it'll be good. I should've just chosen Psychology instead of Physics. Can't change that now lol
Wish me luck, and good luck to any '22'ers that still have exams,
-jinx_58
Heyyyyyy I’m back after the Physics exam!!!!
I’m so glad it’s over and done with and I can finally just chill and relax and take care of myself. I think exam was pretty alright, there was this difficult 9 marker question but yeah we finished high school!!! I’m so happy it’s over but it’s just soo bittersweet. Welp, I probably check in once I get my ATAR or somethin.
Other than that, QUT has approved my application for the early offer scheme and hopefully they offer me a spot in engineering.
That’s all from me, thank to everyone who has read my journals even if it’s random thoughts and junk to me ranting about Physics, I love y’all and make sure y’all take care of yourselves. Thank you to the ‘22’ers have just been really awesome especially them VCE kiddos who reminded me it could be worse. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me out with a question or a multitude and helped me understand concepts
Thanks again,
-jinx_58
P.S. I might start a uni journal once I get in….
Yayayay! Congrats on finishing! Yes! You should definitely start a uni journal. I've really enjoyed reading your journal here so that would be super cool!

What a mile stone you've achieved. As a person in year 11, I absolutely loved reading your posts, it was really motivating. You should do an ATAR reaction video. That'd be really cool as well.
Mini life update:
Soo I applied for this tutoring job, had my interview yesterday but I didn’t get the job.
All goods, but it was a really interesting experience, I think I learnt a lot more about how interviews work n everything which is pretty awesome.
I’ve applied at sooooo many places haha from Coles to Officeworks to Kmart to Spendless shoes. I hope I get a job somewhere haha. I’m even considering just being a self employed tutor at this point, so I can manage my life better.
Hope y’all are well,
-jinx_58
yh same, I feel like there's a lot of tutoring companies (not just for QCE/VCE but like just for subjects in general). I think I might try out for some with good pay and it'll be a learning experience for me cos I've frankly never worked in my life haha.
Maybe try finding online tutoring jobs for any subject u like/ ur good at? I'll probably do the same too

Thank you PhytoPlankton and Anthony_Watson
Really appreciate the guidance. My only problem is that I’m not sure if I’ll be able to teach effectively online, and I’m considering being a self employed tutor at this point haha.
I applied for Art of Smart education and didn’t get in lol.
Edit: my sleep schedule is soooo outta whack already and we love that
Thanks again peeps,

RESULTS DAY OMGGG
So, I thought I’d get less than 85 or something cos lol I was scared for externals haha. However, my ATAR was 91.75!!!!! THATS CRAZYYYYYY I thought I didn’t do that good lol.
Hours of studying, tears, prayers and sweat payed offf.
I did the best in Physics and Chemistry for my externals, I got 44/50 and 45/50 respectively. And here I thought I flunked Physics haha.
