No need to be derogatory now.

Agree. Lets just keep calm, exams are coming up, no need for extra stress

Me thinks, it is time MOVE ON NOW 
For those of you on SWOTVAC - do you feel like you're being productive?

I wasn't productive today -- that's for sure.    I think I just had an off day. I'm really tired at the moment haha.

Aww  Don't worry we all have those days! Just make sure you sleep well tonight and start afresh tomorrow
I'm not really sure, but is this period meant to be like super-intense? Because I don't feel like I'm working at a very intense level :\

I did 3 methods exams... Solid 6.25 hrs of exams + 2 hrs of spesh, 1 hr of english tutor + 1 hr corrections = 10.25 hrs

Happy with today

my thoughts exactly. waiting for the guilt to begin clawing my insides. hopefully I haven't become so apathetic to the extent where I don't work properly. 

But it's okay. we'll pull through

Here's some cute dogs to calm your worries (hopefully)

True that random_person, apologies if I offended anyone. Moving on now.

@Jeggz, I've been quite productive. It's weird though. I'm striving to do the best I can, but the thought of "you only need 60.05" is hindering my capacity to reach my potential. It's like I'm subliminally telling myself "you don't need to know that, you're not aiming for 100%" which is weird, because I excelled in maths this year but I'm struggling to stay dedicated to what I nominated as my strongest subject. I thought I ditched that attitude at the beginning of the year. I guess I may just be more confident for exams. Back a few months ago I was typing in 20,30,30,30,30 in the ATARcalc now I'm typing in low to high 30's (which is good for considering my circumstance of not needing an insane ATAR score).

I've felt as if this SWOTVAC period is a bit 'overrated'. I felt as if the term 3 break and school time was plenty of time to prepare for exams. I thought I'd be stressing crazily but it's the opposite now, I'm much more calm and confident.

Stay positive for your exams guys.

I've decided to start winding down my revision - I'm mainly doing 'passive' stuff now and by Sunday I'll probably stop. I've done two more English exams in proper conditions, so that's been good. I've also done other practice exams as well.

[lala1911]

Yeah my wrist is crazily hurting.. sounds so suss but it genuinely does. So much typing and writing.

[simba]

I did two spesh exams today, the first I got 90% and second I got 47%... The severe fluctuation of my marks are really alarming (they were both exam 2s by the way)

Also, another question... Did any of you pick a subject to ignore because it will almost certainly be in your bottom two? I'm doing this for methods, because I'd need 40+ for it to overtake my further score and with scaling I doubt it wold beat my specialist score, but I feel so guilty for not studying for it. I've done two practice exams as revision and that's it. Now I'm feeling really uneasy because I'll basically be going into the exam blindly but I don't want to waste my time studying for it because in the grand scheme of things studying for other subjects right now will probably give me a better ARAT at the end!

EDIT: ATAR ATAR ATAR can tell my spelling will get me some mighty fine marks in English!

My 'fifth subject' is Business. Its not really my fifth subject, it's just a boring subject to study for, hence why I'm 'somewhat' neglecting it. It's my last exam too, so I can just study for seven days.

[teletubbies_95]

One of my subjects this year is not going to count due to Uni Psych! 
Me thinks , Methods or health are both equally "neglected " subjects. Lol. I think Health is going to be the kicked out one at this stage. I haven't really done much unfortunately.
