I feel like no matter how hard I work, my sac scores don't reflect that. 
Just wanted to get this off my chest
Thank you

Hard work is excellent and many kids do indeed put a lot of hard work in their studies. I think personally that how much you do is less important than what you do. One can spend hours making perfect notes and summaries yet not do so well. While another person can simply do a few practice papers to consolidate their knowledge in a single day and smash it. I don’t know if you just wanted to let out some steam or want some help. If you do want some help, I’d like to ask you some questions.
- how long before a sac do you start preparing?
- Where are you in terms of your subject content in comparison to the class? A few weeks ahead? Same pace?
- What does your preparations for SACs consist of?
- do you give yourself ample time to relax within your studies?
- What’s your study routine like?


If you want to answer these privately, feel free to PM me. I’m happy to help out. However, there are much wiser people on this forum that can also give you excellent advice.

Also - in my experience - sometimes it is out of your control

That is - you might know you work hard, but people are different. Sometimes, no matter how hard you work you'll probably always be behind someone who seems to get by with way less effort. Not to say give up - or it's always the case, but sometimes you just have a limit for things. Hopefully that means you're also pretty exceptional at something other people find difficult
