yeh i would work harder. and actually do some effing homework and stufy.

for the next year-ers. no matter how much you tell yourself you dont wana a masssivee enter and will be happy with whatevers decent, once it actually comes to getting the score, if you've put in any less than 100%, you'll be disapointed and regret it. especially if you've just bludged along.

If I could do year 12 again I would definitely try to manage my time wisely... that's something I definitely didn't do... oh and maybe I'd do a few different subjects... however I don't think I would be the person I am today if I didn't go through what I went through this year =)

Year 12s next year:
I would definitely recommend you to try your very best, be organised and stay on track, try not to fall behind.. but at the same time you should definitely enjoy the year so have balance =)
Good luck year 12s =)

No worries, trust me it's not that hard if you must create some sort of timetable/roster for yourself =)
A good way to start would be to fill in times you want to spend not studying and fitting in your study time later =)

yeah thats so true. i am quite regretful now because i managed my time really badly during swotvac and exam time, and it shows in my results with the subjects i neglected.

lol, will do. "My secret to VCE success in 3 simple letters: F, S, N. Statistics show that 15 out of 34 FSN members get ENTER scores of over 99."

Thanks guys for giving me ideas. I think I know pretty much what I'm going to say, although I have until Feb to write it, lol.

What would you do differently if you could do year 12 again?
What would you advise the next crop of year 12 students?

i'm pretty effing happy with my results, but if i could do it again i would DEFINITELY not drop methods. Not doing maths cuts down your options alot children!
I'd also apply for more scholarships.

So yeah my advice is just what mdee said, put in 100%. But I also think year 12 is a little over-hyped and there is no need to stress yourself out (hear that apple!), just revise regularly and you'll be fiiine

In 20/20 hindsight: More consistent work rather than frantic last few weeks work would have been more profitable.
