Hey folks.
Reality has finally smacked me in the face, and I'm letting go of my ego slowly (but not surely).
Let's just say I've been dodging the pages of advice that explicitly told me I can no longer live off being lazy-smart (and survive off all-nighters) and expect to have a very high ATAR.
As a result, I really need your help and input (please).
The subjects that I'm doing are:
Note: Inside the brackets are my half-yearly grades, and then my yearly grades. This will pretty much explain why I'm in dire need.
Biology (A, then B)
Chemistry (B, then C)
English Advanced (C, then B)
English Extension (C)
Maths Advanced (D)
Music 1 (B)
PDH&PE (A, then B)
Just some info:
My interim goal is to pursue Medicine, so I gotta factor in study for the UCAT.
According to some sources, if I have this goal in mind, I must keep Chemistry & Advanced Maths (and get a B4+) since they're usually prerequisites.
I understand that I'm pursuing Medicine but evidently suck at these two subjects, however, I believe with a strict regime, consistent study, constant student-to-teacher communication and learning alongside the top students that I may be able to pull it all together. I'm open to input.
I also read on here that having an Extension subject is heavily favoured by Universities.
I also use Music 1 as my "relaxing/bludge" subject, despite the fact that I've been relaxing in everything.
It's enjoyable and I feel like I could achieve a B6 with minimal stress (will probably perform contemporary jazz-fusion to make up for the (apparent) bias towards blues/rock guitar playing)
Feel free to be HONEST and TRUTHFUL. Please don't sugar-coat (but I also really want to achieve well in the HSC, so I am willing to take the right steps so long as it fits with my goal). Thanks!
