Term 2 Week 4 Update I can't believe we're almost halfway through the term! The assessments are starting to roll in and trials are just around the corner. Here's a little update on the last week and a bit.
On Sunday I did the Balmoral Burn and went to an 18th birthday. Due to that, sport and a French study skills lecture on Saturday I did basically
no work but I'm glad I was about to take a break from school.
I received my Bio depth study results yesterday. Legit this was my go to past time on all of my train trips to AN lectures haha. Luckily I pulled out 67/70 which fortunately made up for my tragic 78% in my first Bio task. Thank goodness the first task weighting was only 15% vs the 25% of this task.
In the next few weeks I have a Legal in class essay, an English hand-in creative, an in class French Extension monologue and essay, Bio data analysis and an Italian speaking assessment! Luckily they're on different weeks but surprisingly I'm not too stressed !! Probably the most worrisome ones are Bio (because a module and a half are being assessed) and French (because there is such a breadth of topics that could be tested).
I'm going to start posting a quote of the week, favourite memory of the week and a study tip.
Quote of the week'Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud' - Maya Angelou (this is my lock screen on my iPad)
Favourite memory of the weekJogging half of Balmoral Burn (it's basically a 400m fun run up a super steep hill) even though I don't exercise much
*whoops* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯and convinced myself I would walk the whole way.
Study tipUse a traffic light system to rank you knowledge of the syllabus or key points!
- Red = I would have no idea how to answer a question on this
- Orange/ yellow = I could answer a question on this but I wouldn't get full marks (but I could give a decent crack at it)
- Green = omg slay I would smash anything thrown at me on this, please make the whole paper on this, I know all my syllabus prowords and examples tbh I could probably teach this point to anyone
Creds to the youtuber UnJaded Jade for that tip! It's awesome
I hope you all have a fab week!
Q: any quirky/ original study tips you can think of? I'm looking at writing an article on AN about unusual study tips
