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.

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

    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

    what are you currently studying issac?

    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

          Dr. Jess 😉

          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 :>
