Entry #15 - 24/06/2023

Well, I guess I'm finally entering the final stretch. Seriously, some retrospection and I can see that I was clearly lax with my attitude towards year 12. These holidays will not be wasted this time. This update will be pretty short, but I guess I'll summarise what occured this week, and what I'm going to be doing from now on. I had my Chemistry excursion on Monday, it was great, the Masson Theatre is nice, but damn the Chemistry Building is a labyrinth. In these holidays, I will attempt at self-studying the Unit 4 content, and start practice exams. It's nerve racking that the exams are coming close now, and there's only one way to alleviate this anxiety.

Have a good day, and a splendid holiday👍🏿

Entry #16 - 27/07/2023

Well? It's been a while since my last entry, and I'm finally in part 3 of the final season (totally not a reference to AOT). I've been coming to terms with the fact that this is really my final term and that I have to get serious with studying. But, I've got to say, things are going pretty fine. I got an 84% for my unit 3 spesh SAC (making me rank 1!!). In English, we are working on TLM and TSOG, In Chemistry, we are doing organic analysis and in Physics we started light and waves. It's a good thing that I am now used to studying for more hours consistently which is a habit I have been working on since LAST YEAR, and attempting to fix my sleep schedule, which I should've fixed during the holidays. The following weeks are going to be tough, next week I have a Differential Equations test on Tuesday and on Thursday... Back to back SACs, A Chemistry SAC in the morning and a Methods SAC on periods 3 & 4💀, week 5 I will have my Specialist Maths SAC and Physics SAC. Ok, gotta get to studying😬.

Tasks

  • Revise for Chemistry SAC

  • Revise for Methods SAC

  • Do some preparations for DiffEqs Test

Have a good day👍🏿

Entry #17 - 9/11/2023

Well, damn. That's it, I've finished my exams. It's been a few months since my last update but here I am, no longer worrying about a thing. And about how I'm doing now? Great, today was my physics exam and I found it easy, I think I probably aced it😄, alongside Specialist Maths and Maths Methods, I've done well in all of these subjects, I think I went pretty well in Chemistry. In all journeys, you reach the end of the road, and today, I have done exactly that. Despite the amount of time I have been left with, I'll have to learn to manage because I have plans, but in a month, I'll leave an update regarding my ATAR result and course entry, other than that, I will be away...

Have an awesome day, especially Class of '23👍🏿

Chem exam was fine, however, it's quite embarrasing that VCAA has been making consistent mistakes in their exams (first question of section B). I thought it was going to be difficult, really, it wasn't as hard as I made it out to be.

    Entry #18 - 11/12/2023

    Well? I guess it's time, and I'm pretty disappointed, not at my ATAR, but at my english study score.
    Here goes🤷🏿‍♂️
    Specialist Maths - 37 --> 49.52
    Mathematical Methods - 41 --> 46.55
    Physics - 37 --> 39.85
    Chemistry - 34 --> 38.24
    English - 23 --> 20.19
    My ATAR is 91.80.
    I'd also like some clarification about Study Score Consideration in UniMelb as I am eligible for it.
    Have an amazing day👍🏿

      ABylat True, although I do care about english, still want to go to UniMelb so I have to do the Pearson Test of English Academic.

        Hey mate
        I'm really sorry to see that you're disappointed in your English study score, I know how crushing it is to get decent study scores, then have your English mark weigh you down. Your other 4 subject results are quite impressive, with all of them scaling to above 35.
        I graduated in 2020, and my English study score was 18. If you can get the Study Score Consideration, that would be wonderful, however, I also recommend seeing if any universities in your area have pathway programs, which is a semester of classes about university life and studying. It might seem a bit low-level, but it really helped me out. My ATAR was in the low 50s, and my highest study score was 27, but that didn't mean I didn't have a shot at university. If you want to take a gap year, I found that I benefited from a year away from studies, but it's up to you. Might be a good chance to work and get some money
        A low English study score is not the end. It's just a realisation which is easy to overcome. I went from bottom 3% in the state in English and History to scoring straight Bs in all my first year university classes, most being English and literacy-based.

        Don't give up, don't ever think that you aren't fit for university, because you'll never know unless you try to get there. Keep trying, and with how much effort you put into all your other classes, I know you'll achieve your long term goal
