The fact that I need a high enter score to get into the course I want. Did 4 hours yesterday.
Found a course that requires a relatively low ENTER thats really taking my fancy. I stopped after 25 mins today. :\ Im so tired though.

Im not smart enough. Well I probably am but the way its all done doesnt suit me. I get my results using logic, general knowledge, common sense and broad specificity. I made that last term up. I dont like working like a dog, probably because im not a dog. Im not made for this world, I EXPECT to become rich without working.

Aim higher mate, I didn't work like a dog, I barely studied at all (I did maybe 1 hour a week, sometimes less) only put in the effort at exam time and I still managed to get 90+. If you're willing to put the work in you'll pull a 95-99 easily

Im not smart enough. (yadda yadda dog)
That. I wouldn't feel confident going through year 12 without studying over the holidays. Besides, with me usually when I teach myself something, I get a little buzz and gain the motivation to keep working. Of course trying to teach myself something at the start allowing me to ride the "yay me" train can be a bit of a challenge. :P
Hmm...next year already. Well better set my goals and all...(raw)

All my subjects get marked down though. I have to get 42-3 RAWs to get 40's in most of them. Im really seeing limitations though, as if no matter how hard I try I wont get 40's. I also feel like I wont be able to maintain A+'s in everything I do for every subject. And that if I get a B or something crap ill go off the rails.

Plus im content doing a course that only needs a 75 anyway.

What are all your IQs like? (Percentile not a number and keep it to yourself if you did an online test) You must have to be pretty intelligent to get in the top 9% (FOR VCE) without working.

ive never actually done an IQ test, nor do i intend to do one any time soon
in VCE scaling can make up for a lack of intellegence anyway, ENTER is a terrible way to measure intellegence btw

But at the end of the year will you be happy getting a 75? I don't even need an ENTER (not attending university) but I just always had that thought that at the end of VCE I won't be happy getting <90, just something in me.

You don't need to work hard to get 40's, you just need to work smart. I don't have any experience in your subjects so I can't say I cruised through them heh

Depends really. Its all relative to the work I put in. If I made a decision to cruise it and winged every test but still got 75 i'd be happy. However if this was the case it'd hardly be the attitude to take into uni anyway would it?
I think I'd max out mid 90's. My top pref requires a 91.70, for this years batch anyway, and with if I put in 100% and came out with anything less than that id be very disappointed. Qualifying for my first pref, whatever it may be, is what will make me happy.

frankly, i did VCE for my parents, they never demanded me to achieve anything but theres an un-said rule in asian parent circles that those who have kids achieving <90 will loose face.

just don't want them to look too bad, to be honest that's purely why i studied during yr 12... now they are quite happy with my results and i am happy for them :):):)

however, i also enjoy the satisfaction of being able to select more courses which opens up my options list, and i don't regret nerding for the past 10 months, lol
