Yeah, lol. But still, for those who take their studies very seriously, it's a good year for self-assessment. Figure out what works well, and what doesn't. In Year 11, I found that Maths wasn't my strong suit, so I didn't continue with it in Year 12, and decided to focus on other areas that I enjoyed.
Straight Bs and an A are still strong grades (doesn't mean much from me, considering Unit 4 English was an E+), so you must be doing something right in Year 11. Study over the summer holidays to get ahead, and hold onto materials for revision into next year too
How was year 11 for yall
FinFin-3rdYearUni MB, my friend was messing around on my account, sorry, i deleted the post

ugh lucky, I picked the subjects i wanted and there are still a bunch of ass who don't give a damn about the class and they just basically ruin the whole experience.
Leeshi There was definitely still some who didn't care but lucky for me most of the ones who really really didnt care went VM or learned to be quiet in their choice to not do work/learn (still some distractions and stuff but definitely better than junior school)

Rey_of_sunshine yeah same im at a school were everyone is serious ab their studies. It gets so stressful tho bc if you get a B, your considered stupid.

That doesn't sound like a supportive cohort. Just ignore it all, and work at your own pace. Don't worry about how other people do, or try to make it a competition among friends, otherwise you'll stress yourself out further
FinFin-3rdYearUni its easier said than done, but ill try.
Dr. Jess Ah, we're not serious so much as most people have just calmed down disruptive behaviour and actually try to pass I geuss? I'm a public school student and we aren't great score wise but theres a few of us who do our best and the school does what they can to support.
Cohorts can be helpful sometimes but VCE is ultimately about you and what you want to get out of it. No matter what ATAR you get there are multiple paths to get somewhere you can be happy so going into VCE, the advice I wish I started applying sooner was let yourself have fun. I started this year and it was the best choice I ever made, because the memories and friends I've made make it all worth it.
Life is all about finding that balance and if you need someone to reach out to for help at any point in the next couple years there are lots of people here on AN who are happy to do what we can
