VCE Year 12 Class of 2015

For any demotivated people out there:
Here's a nice little motivational video for you all, despite it being halfway through exams. (I promise it's 5 minutes of your life that will not be wasted.)

Hey people on here who do English Language

How are you guys prepping for the exam seeing as it's only 6 days away?

I feel like I know nothing I really don't know what to do now.

Keep churning out essays, memorising quotes and current examples. This is probably the one which you can get the most material for. AN has a wealth of prompts.

Fuck it we're going all in

Glad I'm over with those 2 exams haha

methods was a train wreck, health was alright!

how about you?

Can someone give me some motivation.
Ive worked my ass of this year, in particular for methods, physics and further. Only to be disappointed in the exams and dropped a stupid amount of marks. My only goal this year was to achieve a 40 raw in methods, and now i can say with a rather large probability that thats not realistic im kind of gutted. Physics was always a hard one this year. I worked my ass off in it all year, only to achieve SAC marks that didnt reflect my effort, no matter how much work i did. Yeah some of these SAC's were hard, but i wasnt even ranking 1 in them no matter how much work i did. And now ive got two exams left. With the low end of my study score predictions im cutting my second preference atar prereq quite fine. I jsut dont have any motivation to revise for physics. Considering the prac exams are 2.5 hours long. And i know it will be a 10%'er, but i still need a 35 raw at least so i can clear my second preference by a safe margin. It so hard mentally working so hard all year, only to drop it all on the exams. I dunno. I just need some motivation or advice for physics so i can get a respectable (for me) mark. Any help/advice/motivation is much appreciated.

If you still want to get some stuff done for Physics I probably wouldn't worry about doing full practice exams now, especially in your case. I remember Zealous once saying that he was just reading over practice exams in the days leading up to the Physics exam. The situation is probably a bit different but I'd recommended taking that approach still. Just read through exams and pick out questions you find hard and do them. That way you don't have any time constraints, and you don't have to mark yourself either. If you don't want to do questions as revision at all, I would just read over notes on your cheat sheet or watch some videos on topics you struggled with. Even if you do nothing from now until the exam the best thing to do would be to try and distract yourself from thinking about methods/ATAR. If you go into the exam not worrying about them you will probably preform a lot better.

That's really all I got. Anyway with all the hard work you have put in this year I'm sure you'll kill it anyway

My $0.02 for Physics:

For Physics, instead of going through questions and assorting them with a particular technique or method to solve them (as some people mindlessly do) try to conceptually understand the question and why that particular method is being applied to the question to solve it. VCE Physics, especially motion, uses a lot of everyday physics as well so try to apply your everyday knowledge as well to gain a new perspective on solving a question (e.g. think about the forces and pulls you might actually experience on a roller coaster ride or whilst going over a hill on a car and then perhaps try to link this to the knowledge you've gained through the course)

As Floatzel98 said, try focus now on the particular core topics/detailed study that you might be having trouble with instead of going through full exams, as working through the topics that you're already confident with may be a waste of time this close to the exam if you're having trouble with the other ones. Also, I find that picking and doing questions helps me more than reading through my notes, so you might want to try that.
