rank 6-8 out of around 90, sac averages low 90s. Trial exam came back and I got two 8s and a 9 with not my best writing. What should I be aiming for / what is possible?

how do u guys plan ur essays? Like how do u guys make u have a thorough plan within 5 min. I feel like when i have a detailed plan i write better, but w the time pressure of the exam idt that will be very possible. Do u guys have any structures or approaches to planning each of the sections??

Thanks!!

as i study, it keeps striking me that everything will be over. no more kind and supportive tutors, no more loving teachers, no more adorable and funny classmates i can see everyday, no more year 12 events. another chapter gone - just like that. and then uni, and then employment; unpredictable and alien territory. im also obviously terrified to see all of my effort and results culminated into numerical values.

i’ve fell into this horrible, week long slump that’s just been perpetuated by shame and task paralysis. for context, i am unmedicated. i have absolutely no motivation anymore, because i have been overfunctioning all year, up until this point i guess. i literally sit at my desk upon hours, and do NOTHING. i don’t scroll tiktok, i don’t watch movies; i just mindlessly switch between different tabs for some cheap dopamine. i’ve been told to go on rest days, but that’s lowk impossible for me. i cannot CANNOT rest at all. for me, it feels safer to procrastinate the task and have control over whether i want to do it or not opposed to taking a break completely. could any other adhders help me out with some advice on how to break out of this slump? i feel like my atar is just gone atp. and it’s bad because i’m highly ranked at a poor performing school, so i’d really be screwing people over. :(

Hi guys, has anyone used TSSM essay marking service for english? They claim to mark essays through a VCAA assessor so I was thinking of trying them out as the english exam is scarily close. I haven't had any of my work assessed by an examiner and my teacher doesn't want to read anymore essays as we had the "whole term" to ask her, which doesn't make any sense as personally I have seen the greatest improvement in my essays in these past couple of weeks.

Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Hey guys, I have a house captaincy interview on Tuesday. Just wondering if anyone from any school who was successful in their school's respective leadership process would be willing to share what they said/did in the interview to end up with a positive outcome?

Basically, we had student voting, and the top 5 candidates were picked from that. I was picked to get an interview, but I am not the favourite to win (although I got the most amount of votes, but that doesn't matter as largely as it sounds)-- One of my friends is close with the teacher who decides. From those 5 students, the teachers (2 of them) decide the House Captains and the two vices.

Because I am not the favourite, I think I should say something that might make the two teachers think positively. Does anyone have any advice?

its been weird so far just trying to spam exams

im currently doing eal, economics, politics, gen maths and methods. i have done vietnamese first lan in yr 11 and got a 44 and sacrificed two maths as my 10% already, those scores are horrible.

my eal sacs are around 70ish, my cohort isn’t too strong. my politics sacs sits at 75 average and my economics sacs are at 78 average, idk my ranks for all subjects. will i be able to get 85 atar and 30ss for eal? please help a hopeless student out, tysmm

i accidentally said one english word and i also couldnt answer one of the questions but tbf it wasn’t really what my chosen topic was

am i cooked

as a y11 do 3/4 bus man and methods, spesh (hatred), english, accounting (a lot of the time zzzz) and eco, my fav subject has to be eco. at a lot of points it has got hard with like BOP and Terms of Trade etc and like with any subject the moment your forced to be assessed then it runis the enjoyment eco has still been really intresting.

I've done a few practice exams for my science subjects and i'm not getting the scores I want. Im averaging 65%, and ideally i want to have at least 80% to achieve my goal atar. my sacs have been pretty decent so I dont understand why I'm not improving too much. I even mark my exams thoroughly, by making a mistake bank with my answer, and ways to improve. Maybe i haven't been through enough exams? but that scares me because exams are approaching soon, and I dont know how quick i can complete anymore and learn from them. I haven't even done a proper trial exam for methods. I have tried, but i'm learning concepts as I go through which is really distressing. maths is definetly my weakest, but it is high scaling so i dont want to neglect it. i hate asking this because it sounds desperate, but i am - is there hope? What steps do I take from here on out

I've been struggling to write aa under timed conditions with the first paragraph taking up most of my time before I get into the flow of writing.

Should I make skeleton essays? Memorise sentences? I struggle with transcribing my ideas in timed conditions.

Today was my last day. Just give me one more day, take me back to the start of Year 7.

Verdict: School fucking flies, specifically Year 12 - How are we in October? School is overhated.

I have an 830-word persuasive oral for VCE General English that I need to memorize word for word by Monday.

How do you guys memorize a speech such a short amount of time?

meant 40 ss but it doesnt let me edit the title
im rank 7/80 for unit 3 with an average of 80%
im rank 1 or 2 unit 4 with an average of 86%
what exam mark do i need for a 40 study score.

thanks

For anyone that did eco, can you pls comment down ur sac averages for each unit and exam score (or just letter grades for all 3) and ur study score?

i’m seeing posts about how insanely competitive eco is and how difficult it is to get a decent study score despite above average sac scores,etc

thanks everyone

I do two English subjects (English and English language) and I literally cannot bring myself to write long texts for the subjects because I’m so burnt out and tired of it. Any advice appreciated, I’m so stuck.
