Ok guys so I've been struggling a lot lately, in three of my subjects, my other two I can manage nothing below an 85% which I'm quite proud of, but those three problem subjects always put me down. So I was wondering how do you guys keep motivated after a bad SAC score, a bad day, a bad lesson, just how do you manage to do it? For example, in my accounting class I fail to understand many core concepts, due to a lack of knowledge of unit 1 + 2.
Can anyone give me any ideas, to keep me going?

I'm aiming to become an acedemic psychologist in a field, but havn't decided what one yet, or to become a information technology specalist.
I want to leave the year at the best score I possibly can. But I don't feel as if I'm achieving my full potential.
But still I lack motivation. :(

Ask your teachers for extra help with areas you're unsure of, study smart (as opposed to just studying hard) and MOST importantly, Be positive :)

I thought I wrote that, lol. :P I used to stay it a lot when I was younger, anyways the second one is definately mine.

Motivation..I guess when you look towards your goal, you just want to work till you reach there. For me, I told myself this year will finish, it's close, either make the most of it or regret much of it later

You only go through Year 12 once, enjoy the ride, you'll never experience high school again.

you'll never experience high school again.

And thank God for that.
To OP, don't let one crappy SAC score bring your motivation down. I've had plenty, but I figure if I give up now then I'll regret it later, knowing I never achieved what I potentially could have. You never know when your marks and understanding will improve, but they never will if you give up now. :) So keep going! Only 5 or so months now :P

"No regrets"
Sums up my VCE.

For me it's not so much of finding new sources of motivation but waiting until times of deflation have past. Calm down, take a break and genuinely rest for a few hours. Remind yourself why you're doing Year 12, and you'll find the inspiration to continue.

Year 12 Aims Are:
To have a decent and well deserved score in my subjects, as well as being able to get an ATAR strong enough to get into a university of my choice.
There's your problem right there.
Quantify your goals.
What ATAR score do you need for your dream course?
What study score does that mean you'll need for each of your subjects?
What exam score does that mean you'll need?
You get the idea.
I'm quite sure studies have proven that people perform better when they set themselves very specific goals, even if they're difficult to achieve, compared to those who aspire to achieve lofty, unfocused goals.
