1) I expected myself to go bad - I ended up doing much worse than I expected. Obviously can't blame anyone but myself here, but damn I feel terrible right now.
2) This is definitely going to be something that is easily worked on, but basically just knowing content. I'm not even kidding when I say that for every single subject, there was
at least half a topic that I had not yet covered. Now being in humanities, where the syllabus is synonymous to a Bible, it was difficult to answer questions which honed in on syllabus areas that I know nothing of. With an 8 week time-frame until the HSC though, I feel that my marks could improve significantly if I just knew the content.
3) Collaborating with the rest of my cohort. Even though i'm no longer happy with my rank in most of my subjects, I need to accept that nothing can change them. From now until the HSC, we aren't individual numbers competing for internal ranks, but a group of numbers who represent our school against the entire state. If I can teach, and be teached by other students, then we as a group are moderated up and our terrible trial marks won't matter
