Should I give up?
« on: June 23, 2018, 03:34:45 pm »

I'm receiving my unit 3 results tomorrow, and I know how poorly I have performed. Made a lot of errors in the translation question, had a lot of useless information in response to reading comprehension.
Is it about the time for me to give up?

It’s definitely not time to give up before you even get your results. Even if you have done poorly, you’ve still spent half a year on it giving up now would effectively waste that.

If you do get bad results then consider what it would take to improve them. Would it take so much time that it negatively impacted on your other subjects? If it wouldn’t then definitely keep trying. If it would then that’s when it’s time to make a decision about it. Regardless, dropping a subject should be your last option, you’ve already put so much time into it, it would be a waste to stop now. However if trying to well means that your other subjects suffer then you could consider reducing the amount of time you spend on it and focusing on your other subjects instead. I still would not advise dropping it entirely though.

Definitely do not give up! I'm not sure whether you're doing Advanced or Second Language, but you can always do much better in Unit 4 and in the exams! If you think it through, as long as you improve and do better in future tests, it should be ok. The year isn't over yet! So are the exams! So nothing is cemented! Don't give up! Continue to practice translations and reading comprehension!

No.



Giving up guarantees a bad result. More effort=better result.

got my results back, 2b ,1a and 1a+
that's not bad, do you know how well you did compared to the class? or do you know whether many of your classmates got the same as you?
