I agree.

[90ATAR]

In my Year 11 3/4 exam during reading time to assessor.

''Excuse me, can I please borrow a pen, pencil or anything.'' I did my entire exam in a 7B pencil. I haven't changed for SACS this year lol.

It's always "Oh there's so much time, I'll just use this first week to unwind, maybe I'll do a little bit" and then before you know it, it's Wednesday of the second week and everything you wanted to get done hasn't been done.
Then you start to realise that it's only a few months until the EOY exams.

Full disclosure: I may not have been very effective with these holidays.

Definitely haven't accomplished what I wanted in terms of unit 3 revision besides a heap of questions for legal, but as for the rest of my homework, I have 2 exercises of methods and that's about it; completed two exercises today so that felt good.

I was planning to do a few practice exams but it didn't happen. There's plenty of time though. So excited to finish this year.

I just want the year to be over. We're 97% of the way through school and I've had enough and just want to move on with life now...nothing bad but just excited for a change.

[PsychoT]

I aced what I wanted to do in terms of homework this holidays, and have never felt better.

Time to get pissed on saturday night, then back it up with an amazing game of footy on Sunday!

We're sooo close it's scary

Agreed. I'm just looking forward to the moment when I finish my last exam.

Will psych and econs contribute to your ATAR? If so then you should put some effort into them.

Psychology and Economics will contribute of course. I try as hard (or as easy) with Psychology as all my other subjects but I just can't get the knack of answering questions; I know all the information but fail at application for some reason. Economics I'm good at but my teacher buys SACS from some unheard of company which are just made for revision not really SACS, and modifies them not around the study design but what is learnt in class, and I've stressed how I can't focus at school on this forum. So I think I will do well in the exam but my SACS have gone terribly. 88% and 100% worth 40 marks, then I got about 60% out of 30 marks and I will probably get 5/30 for the recent SAC which I knew everything to do with study design, but nothing was even relevant. So my GA's will be terrible, but I can answer VCAA answers with ease.

I want to do anything with Business and the more reputable the better. I wanted to go to Monash Business but there is the prerequisite of maths. I've considered particular certifications, diplomas and consulted business owners on a few forums (e.g. somersoft.com) and they did say if I have little experience which I don't and want to get into the business world shining, I should try get into Monash Business or even law, but my ATAR won't permit that in a million years. If I can't get into Monash Arts at least to transfer after a semester (which sucks anyway) I doubt I'll go to uni and just start a small business for hands on experience.

Double Degree in Business Marketing and Management - would have been absolutely perfect for what I want to do.

I still really want to go to melbourne uni because the place is so awesome and it has this kind of aura about it, the people and everything but a 93 ATAR and rising is now out of my reach. I'm not committed enough to my studies I know that. I may be smart but I lack a lot of effort, and that won't get me the ATAR I need when I am cramming at 2AM until 7AM on the morning of a SAC to learn everything, clueless before then. I don't even know how I'm going to revise for my subjects because I have such little time, yet do nothing because I only work well under pressure and I am not feeling pressure!!!

I considered ANU for quite a while, like ALOT, but I'm really not willing to relocate to Canberra. The next decade will be my prime, and I don't want to spend that in an incredibly remote or dull area. That isn't the main reason; it's that I have 3 dogs and I can't, and wouldn't consider moving away from them to go off and study. They are my dogs and despite feeling really bad about leaving them behind, I doubt I'd be able to live without them. With regards to RMIT, as aforementioned, people have really told me either go to a G8 uni or get hands on experience, because experience prevails over a degree with the a worse reputation in the area of business as the other schools in G8, thus get experience.

Conundrum. I don't know if I'm just ruining everything by having an answer with everything, but I just had my eyes set somewhere and I'm not going there anymore.

Economics I'm good at but my teacher buys SACS from some unheard of company which are just made for revision not really SACS, and modifies them not around the study design.

Yeah, my teacher bought a supply and demand SAC from Compak which completely screwed me over side-ways, front-ways etc... Luckily I just worked over time to be equal rank 1, which I thought was impossible after 68%.

Macroeconomics over Microeconomics any day of the week. I hate supply and demand so much... Reminds me of Further Mathematics, where if you don't pick up the concept quickly, you're in trouble for the upcoming imminent SAC.

Out of interest, are people starting to think of what they would put as VTAC preferences?

Yeah, I have about 26 courses printed out.

Just on that, does anyone know why the VTAC course option for Year 12 has been seemingly removed from the home page?

Is this just a problem on my computer? Is there a way I can search for courses still through VTAC?

Thank you!

On another note are you guys going to schoolies?

I think I'm going to book either in Byron or Gold Coast next week when I organise a few people to come. Seems really shit that you can't have someone in basically all of the buildings from that schoolies.com website unless they have a certified I.D. I don't know how you can have fun otherwise without that significant one night other
