--- Quote from: fun_jirachi on September 07, 2018, 04:42:09 pm ---Another week is over which means im a week out from prelim, and the dumbest assessment task i've ever done (video essay like why please explain to me how this helps me achieve anything)
and though i felt really great after the 2u exam, hearing everyone getting their results during first period made me realise that 95+ was super unrealistic despite my feeling right after the exam. everyone in my year that did the exam was accelerating (so its an expectation you hit a band 6) and then a class's average was 64??? the others were 78 and 82, but i was so shocked like omg i might not hit my goal after all the preparation
lo and behold i don't (what a surprise) and last period rolls along and i see my paper and i get a 90. NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE I AM HAPPY WITH MY MARK AND I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT A BAND 6 but seriously i was super cut (maybe i set myself up for disappointment by aiming too high???) like i mean it felt really bad. I did get above class average (approximately 0.5 standard deviations above the mean) but seriously when i looked through my paper i did the dumbest stuff ever, like i probably deserved only to lose 4-5 marks legitimately, the rest were dumb mistakes i made in the heat of the moment under exam pressure. literally full of regrets, disappointed in myself
Take Exhibit A for example. Q11, the first question after multiple choice, and in the very last part. I did everything right until i got down to 1/3(64-1) and somehow i wrote down 64/3 as my answer. like why please send help
My rank might be terrible because its a very competitive environment, but I think I'm looking at a rank about 20-30? where I've always been for quite some time now but yeah kinda happy (good mark, its all over) and kinda disappointed, but honestly ill cop it, theres nothing i can do now. All i can do is improve for the yearly next week and the HSC.

mod marks on monday, rip me

Hope you guys have had a great week!

Given that you are in sbhs and that their standards are usually much higher than hsc standards (know this from doing your schools' pastpapers), you'll be fine...  And most will smash the hsc anyway and I know you will (getting 90 on sbhs paper ain't easy)..

been copping L's all week :'(
i don't know why but i literally just realised i hate modern send help please
maths is trippy af, exam pressure gets to me every time and i do dumb stuff like 64-1=64 also send help please
english is dumb, 'nuff said
and chem and phys like kill me please don't cram module four of both into 2-3 weeks WHY

fun_jirachi:
Another week goes by... and i realise its been a hell of a week, but up ahead in 5 days is my first prelim exam.
The difficulty of these exams is hard to predict, like i mean physics was crazy hard for the half yearly, then they played nice for second assessment so its a real conundrum here. Chem is deceptively easy, so i don't know how that'll pan out. english is dumb, 'nuff said.
But this week was really great, thursday was trivia night and that was amazing, junked on pizza and mountain dew, had a great night. today was quite solid as well, played 'ball with the boys after school, then watched first grade debating. good week i'd say, apart from modern history results :'(

Hope you've all had a great week too!

not quite a feeling or life update but still a really good story
so in modern we got free food like WOW free food tEacHeRs nEVeR gIvE sTUdEntS fReE fOoD but when we got into the staffroom (yeah its tiny, but our class shrank from 21 to 10 kids) teacher was like OK GUYS HERE WE HAVE SOME CORNED BEEF LIKE THEY MADE IT IN WW1 everyone was like ah crap we actually have to eat that?!?!?? and then it came out of the can and it was all oily and soggy and eurghegjg. like she couldnt even cut up the beef properly because it was so soft. so we got a cracker each and had some beef and ngl it tasted like ass. like really crappy tuna that's actually beef, but saltier and super oily. but the crackers were nice (small consolation), and we went back to class and nothing happened after that.
