Struggling with VCE
« on: July 17, 2013, 07:43:20 pm »

I suffer a learning disorder I don't understand biology, accounting and chemistry. I'm afraid of my end of year exams, and really worried sick about test and SACs. I have skipped chapters in my learning in accounting and chemistry. I just can't comprehend anything in those subjects and struggle a lot with memorising. I can't understand barely anything. I feel really overwhelmed and I don't know what to do. There's too much to handle.

Any suggestions in what I should do?

Well i can only speak on accouting behalf. If you did skip a few chapters i would recomeend you to go back and quickly do them before starting unit 4. This is because some concpets like depreciaiton and balance day adjustments which is studied in unit 3 comes back up in unit 4 so it good to have a basic understanding. What i feel about accouting is that the more practice you do the better you will become. Might a suggest a tutor to help you out ?. If you have any accouting question or need help just pm always ready to help  ;D

Short Term: Keep trying, motivate yourself, try different methods of learning for those subjects
Long term: I know it's a long shot, but if you are seriously struggling in three subjects, perhaps you might want to redo year 12 with subjects that you understand and can handle.(not sure if your allowed to do that)
By the way, don't stress, year 12 doesn't dictate your life.
Also, What do you want to do after school?

Don't give up.

Firstly, ask for help!
Do your teachers know that you are struggling?

Tell them your dilemma, I think this will take a lot of the stress away. if you are completely, lost spend time going back and reviewing the topics. Oh and listen tentatively in class, and if you unsure just ask the teacher (you could even stay back after class if you are not too confident)
If you might also consider a good tutor to help you. Don't skip chapters, please go back and review them.
I might be scary, but tell someone  you are struggling (teacher, friend, classmate) , and maybe after school, they can help you out.
Don't forget there's ample support out there,
So seek help, be dedicated and give it best shot in your subjects, and I wish for you that you get the results that reflect your hard work and endeavours.
