Journey of doing the "suicide six"

lil N

Ok I am back with all my data test results! I just handed in my PSMT's for methods and spec this week so I should get the grades back over the holidays. As goes with english, handed in today and do not care much about it.
I did ok in the data tests but I need to improve it a lot if I really want to get into med, my grades were:
Biology=18/21 which goes to a 9/10
Chemistry=18/20 which goes to a 9/10
Physics=16/20 which goes to an 8/10
Overall I was ok with all of the exams except for Physics, I walked out of the fia1 so confident thinking I was gonna get at least an 18/20 but oh well. The reasons I did not get full marks for chem and bio are because I didn't refer to the data enough and generalized the information without giving evidence, which cost me not getting 100%. As with the maths reports, I am confident with both, hopefully they are at least 18's/20 which is a HUGE step up from last year where I got a C on my math's report, but you never know I could get another C. Guess we'll have to wait.
For anyone who has an Idea, will a 9/10 for the data test suffice for a good overall grade as I am not entirely sure as to how I am going to go in the research investigation and student experiments?

Don't worry too much about the data tests, they're not too content heavy and require different skills to standard exams.

Focus on revising for exams otherwise they'll kill you eventually (the chem exam killed me). Most if not all of my data tests follow the same broad structure which allows me to complete them even though I don't know crap about the topics most of the time.

WelcomeToHell ive been focusing on revision more so now that im nearly finished my assignments for all sciences, I ended up getting a 20/20 for my specialist assignment (idk why i did better in it than methods but oh well). After I get my assignment results from this term I will give a big update on that and I will be enrolling in ESP at UQ for calculus and linear algebra 1. Idk just remembered about this journal and wanted to update, ive just been focussing on gym and school and neglecting school a bit but should still be able to pull through as I get most of the work done in class.

WelcomeToHell

lil N Have you received your specialist exam back yet? Hopefully you did much better than you predicted 🤗

WelcomeToHell

Update: I knew all the content for methods but ran out of time on the methods exam. I'm feeling really down right now.

There's obviously nothing I can do about it but I learnt my lesson and I won't be an idiot next time.

It's been a while since anyone posted here so I'll do the honours!

Let me just say, what a start it has been for me. The minute I went back to school and sat down in those classrooms, it was exercise after exercise after exercise- you get what I mean. Like wow, it's a bit of a shock coming from 10 to 11. The work they put on you and the things you have to get done is harrowing. It's literally only Term 1 Week 5 and it's kinda scary to think that you don't have long until your exams are looming over you. Even worse, that the year is going to go in a flash. Now lets get specific.

Physics: Understanding the context... kind of, work load is minimal, stress?? LOTS OF STRESS
Biology: I don't know what the globe my teacher is talking about sometimes, but her analogy makes it understandable. Really gotta start revising though... ._.
Chemistry: Best subject so far. No complaints :>
Mathematical Methods: Starting PSMT, pretty chill, not too bad, workload is average, stress? meh, it's a pinch in the face
Mathematical Specialist: LOTS OF STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. WORKLOAD IS MASSIVE!!! understanding? yessir 🙂

Quote of today: Nothing is impossible. The word itself says "I'm possible"

And that's the end! Thanks for reading! I'll keep my journey updated. 'peace out'

Most of my exams have finished, what a relief. However, they smacked us right in the face with assignments to do over the holidays and are due 2 weeks later. So... that's most of my holiday gone to do assignments. Here's how everything is going:

Physics: Apparently no one got 20/20. Geez I wonder why. (Data Test)
Biology: Just did the test today. WOO HOOO cool data test tbh
Chemistry: Also no one got 20/20 but again, surely like physics, someone must've.... right??
Mathematical Methods: Finished the PSMT, haven't gotten marks back yet.
Mathematical Specialist: I HATE MY PSMT OMG AHHHHHHHH. take me to the glue factory.
English: Worst subject for me. WORST. But who cares, I'm smashing it out the way.

Quote of today: Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

I havent replied on here for a while.
I never ended up doing ESP at uq because there were just other things i wanted to focus on (guitar, gym, working) and thus far doing suicide 6 isn't too bad ( I can already imagine external exam time being f##ked), I ended up getting 14/25 on my english for IA1 lol, thankfully it wont be in my top 5. just a cheeky lil update

Hi all
I am a 2021 grad (ATAR 99.85 and suicide six minus bio)

Here's a quick update of my journey of the suicide six!

I have finally gotten 5 of my marks back and I'm so torn. I mean it's better than failing but I just don't accept these marks atm.

Chemistry: 17/20
Biology: 19/20
Physics: 16.5/20 (sad)
English: 25/25!!! WOOOOO MY WEAKEST SUBJECT IS SHININGGGGG
Methods: 19/20 just because I didn't add a sentence in T_T
Specialist: Dunno. I'm a bit scared tbh. >_>

I'm going to try an improve this term : )

Hii i am a grade 10 student looking at doing the suicide six, i was wondering what study habits you used!!
YOU DID SO GOOD BTWW

Leeshi

UPDATE

Specialists: 19/20

Literally lost a mark for not putting a sentence in T_T screwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shrewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Well... I have a pretty sad and anti-social life... It's the trade if you don't excel as well as everyone else. So I focus on my academics. I don't work, well I play the piano privately... doesn't count as extracurricular, study right after school, on weekends and on holidays. Well tbh, I don't do anything besides studying and revising. :')

And thank youuuu, but my parents say otherwise. They're like 'omG you always have something the teacher will take marks of att'!! Well... My brain likes to make stupid as mistakes. LIKE LITTLE MISTAKES! Perfectionism is going to be the death of me haha. Anyways, feel free to ask me anything :>
