Well you could say at least that's.........dedicated.

At this stage I've already resolved to the fact that I won't get all the tasks done. Although, I probably did the absolute maximum, compared to what was actually required.

That happens most of the time actually, lots of people actually do way more than what is required to do good.

Not saying that it's a bad thing though.

You lucky lucky people...

English: Write language analysis essays, complete the oral and read and annotate how whole text (I started that much earlier so glad that I did).
Methods: Complete a practice exam, work on several exercises and another practice exam.
Chemistry: Two practice exams, begin to look at SAC 2 (synthesis of aspirin) also be up-to-date with organic chemistry (we literally went through about 4 chapters in the course of two weeks or less so very briefly, so know I have to go and study it in detail myself).
Physics: Complete practice exam questions, be up-to-date and understand electricity.
Business: Complete the rest of AOS 2 by ourselves.

I would prioritise studying for SACs/beinguptodate/doingexercises ahead of the practise exams, but if you've finished most of the courses (which would be really scary), then by all means go ahead. Right now I would be using study guides such as Lisachem or NEAP or ATARNotes

The thing is I am trying to stay up-to-date; however, those are practice exams my teacher has given us. They are not VCAA or anything - what they are is cumulative, so each time we learn a new topic they give us an exam that is based what we have learnt so far in the year as revision. I haven't started doing any end of year practice exams yet haha! I have been doing checkpoint questions and that's as far as it goes besides a couple of other VCAA questions! 

[simba]

haha...wish I was as motivated as you, stick.
Basically, I've just lazed around...
For some reason I'm not as motivated this year as I was last year...really gotta change that!

Yes yes yes yes! Brenden is going to kill me for this, but I haven't actually written a language analysis piece for almost a year :| And I can't bring myself to do it, I have my LA SAC second week back too...

[Stick]

^ Same for me with text response. Wrote one today, don't want to write one again for a while... :/

WRITE THE PIECE! See, I told you that you were lying when you said you were going to 'try your best' but expect a thirty . Seriously though, I know writing when you haven't written in a while is the absolute last thing you want to do, especially when you have no fucking idea what's going on. BUT GODDAMNIT YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. Don't waste your speech mark

I wrote like 4 LAs during my whole life, probs why I got only a 7 :/.
Please write more :p

[awesomejames]

And to think that term 1 was a hard term full-packed with sacs every week or two, now that ive seen when each of my sacs are for next term, I think term 1 may have been a breeze.

term 2 is going to be crazyyyyyyyy around 1-2 sacs a week like someone else said before with only maybe 1 week every 5 weeks with no sacs. Im pretty sure Im going to have 3 sacs in one week and they arent the easy ones: english text response, spesh sac and a legal sac :/

[Professor Polonsky]

My term is actually really relaxed until the midterm week. I have my Physics EPI due on Monday, and then no SACs for almost two months I believe.

Made my day. Well now that I'm a week ahead in most of my subjects I will dedicate the rest of the holidays to chill/ English! I will write a LA some time this week!

I will try... I'm so motivated for my other subjects but with english I'm always like... meh.

[Mr Keshy]

I'm so motivated for my other subjects but with english methods I'm always like... meh.

That's me. But the problem, I never seem to get around doing it Although it's improving, but still remains a challenge.

[brenden]

Yeah, for me, that subject was Theatre Studies*. Zero practice exams/SACs complete \o/. Difference is, mine didn't HAVE TO BE IN MY TOP FOUR GOD JESUS



*I never got around to doing it because I never planned on getting around to do it.

[lala1911]

I have the same dilemma with I.T. I don't plan on doing much because I know it wont be in my top 4.

[Mr Keshy]

Hahah and I thought I was the only one who neglected a subject! Definitely seems to be more common that what I once perceived! I guess it is smart in someways. People say that if it's going into your 10%, just put in 10%... But you have to make sure you do really well in the other ones otherwise it might come back to bite you.
