Alright folks how's everyone feeling

[deStudent]

Good.

[exit]

Mixed. Got a 45 in methods like I wanted but it only scales this year to 48.5ish and not 49. German was pretty disappointing at 33 despite studying my heart out for it. Practicing 1 month straight hours each day for oral, 1.5 weeks for exam. Hopefully it scales more but I can only move on from here. Hopefully this is motivation to go above and beyond for spesh.

Totally understand you there. 47 in French which I guess I'm happy with. Studied my heart out and really wanted that 50. On the other hand, I got 39 for Accounting. Given that I spent at most 1h a week on it outside of class, I only have myself to blame
Doing spesh next year too, but I scraped bs this year ugh how are you prepping for spesh? I might have to relearn units 1/2 again (or more so learn for the first time)

Buy some study guides imo. Maybe atarnotes/a+/derrick ha. They are a lot more concise that the textbook. Do questions from your textbook. This will give you time in class to work on Chapter Review etc. and potentially start practice exams early at mid year(which is recommended)

I think it is better to just study spesh without worrying about GMA (do they still call spesh unit 1/2 GMA? hahaha).

I'm over the moon for biology (predicted 33 raw, actual 37 raw)
But for HHD, although I predicted 35 raw and actually got 36 raw, it scales down a lot so I'm bummed :/
P.S. How on earth did I get an A for my biology exam?!?!!?!?!

I'm so happy for you gemini!! Haha don't worry about the scaling, you did as well as you could in the circumstances you were in . And I can totally understand your feeling of exceeding every expectation. Congrats!

[geminii]

Good job to those who have completed a 3/4 early, you now have such valuable experience on how to play the VCE game.
Enjoy your holidays and charge the batteries for next year, so you can go out and smash it.
And remember, if you ever need any sort of advice or have any questions about Year 12 or anything, I myself and other members on AN are definitely willing to help you out!

Anyone applied to do uni maths at Melbourne grammar next year?

[occidit]

Sup lads, anyone doing MUEP Bio? Sad I have to drop a subject for it but hopefully it'll be a good experience.

Best of luck to all of you in the upcoming year, and try to have some fun aside from the 5hr per day study I'm sure you're all doing
