Title: If I stopped studying now...
Post by: costargh on August 16, 2008, 03:42:05 pm
...I remember playing a game throughout last year I liked to call 'if I stopped studying now...' and would guess what my ENTER would be if I stopped studying then and only did the bare minimum in class (as in, I'd learn it all but not revise). My estimate was about 95 by August...

Lets do that game :)

85 for me

98.3
(if this was august 2007, with the hindsight of knowing my enter ended up being > 99.5 which I didn't think would happen)

I would get 0.
If I stopped studying, I wouldn't be able to remember half the stuff I need to remember for the exam.

How can you NOT study... It's inhumane when you are a VCE student, competing for the best ENTER score possible.

But... I like games, and in this situation, I would probably get mid 70's to low 80's... Studying saves my life :)

i'm sure it is morally acceptable to not study [at least not cruel/savage] :P

Post by: Eriny on August 17, 2008, 05:26:30 pm
I should say that I only thought 95 because I started studying quite early and knew all the stuff I was supposed to know.

Good topic :)

Title: Re: If I stopped studying now...

Post by: AppleXY on August 19, 2008, 12:27:10 am
Hmm. I'd do good in Methods and Spec exam, i suppose. But in exam 2 it would a totally different story [due to time constraints, need to study how to manage the time lol].

So probably about a 29-33 in english, a 35-6 in methods and 33-35 in spec and 36 for econ.

So, 87.15 - 91.10 lol. (woah oh shit).
Title: Re: If I stopped studying now...

96

I have 2 subjects done, done my chemistry midyear (A+) and I've already decided which texts I'm doing for the English exam and have quite a few essays done....

I hate to boast guys but i pretty much have to do one chem exam (33%) and English exam (technically 50%) for the rest of the year. (for my top 4) and have already done 60% of Monash uni subject - the worst is behind me :)

Naww, you're not boasting. At this stage of the year I pretty much I knew I'd get my first preference (clearly-in of 97.45 in 2005 -- dropped to 96.05 in 2006, my year)

Post by: bilgia on August 19, 2008, 08:08:36 am

That would be epic fail for u eh :P.

As for me, If i stopped studying this time in 2006, I probably would have got around 93-95.

Hmmm, this topic is open to interpretation, by "stopped studying" do you mean you do all the work at school and just come home and do nothing (if this is the case I could get a 70)
Or do you mean you don't even try at school and just do the exams and sacs with your current knowledge (If this is the case, I'd be suprised if I got higher then 10)

I've still got a year to go though

At this stage of the year I was pretty sure I'd get my first preference, which needed a 99. I would've always done well in spec, english, and UMEP maths by about this point. The only one which got better was french - which I fucked up anyway.

haha, you and I have a very different idea of what it means to fuck up. 45 scaled in French is not "fucked up" in my opinion :D

lol....i'm the opposite. I only started studying for methods. Yes, in the last 2 months of year 12 I decided to bring back my maths skills from hybernation. Anyway hang in there!!! You're almost at your finish line, why give up? Just study as hard as you can then you know you walked into the exam doing your best.

as for me, if I stopped studying now I'll probably get in the 70's. I'm a big crammer, so most of the things I learn are right before the exam. Seeing as the exams are still in a couple of months I haven't started cramming I'll be screwed.

Post by: /0 on August 26, 2008, 07:23:12 pm
i would be worried about section 2 because they can ask you pretty much anything if they establish it so the calc wont necessarily be your saviour

also, make sure you dont assume the yellow page in the middle of the exam is the last page (also yellow) as i made this mistake last year and had to do half the exam in about 8 of the most stressful minutes of my life.....

Lol yeah calculator sacs scare the crap outta me. Non-calculator exams are usually very basic, which is nice. Speaking of calculator sacs... I have another one tomorrow :(
Title: Re: If I stopped studying now...
Post by: xox.happy1.xox on August 26, 2008, 08:45:52 pm
Calculator SAC's annoy me! It's bad enough we have SAC's without a calculator or notes (don't remember anything), and when you are allowed a calculator, they give you stuff you haven't even learned (well maybe you have, but I can never remember what to do..). Maths, it will be the death of me.. :(
