for those who are studying hard

[amirite?]

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

IQ tests are good for a bit of fun. Everyone likes seeing where they fit in.
ENTER measures capability more than anything else. The thing that I dont like about VCE is the broad nature of it. If you know what you want to do then surely you could spend the 6 years of high school honing your skills in one area. Too much emphasis on being an all-rounder. If education was more specialised our professionals would be more.. professional.

if your not attending university whyd u do VCE?
just wondering

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

lol not just asian parents, my father just used my enter to show off to ppl at his work

I have to do it to beat everyone in my family. Im the youngest of all and would like to stick it up them all. Theyre all cockheads and I would like to be more successful than each and everyone of them. I cant wait to be so successful and have a nice family and just appreciate the little things. Living comfortably. I was thinking about it today. I wish when I went to the cupboard all the food I craved was there. Something as simple as that. I want to be able to live without a budget.
My motivation is coming back, lol im all over the place tonight. This year will be one of the most crucial years of my life. I lose motivation when I dont stop to think whats motivating me. I think thats the most important thing for all of us to remember and to keep practicing.
I have to stop being so pessimistic.

That, and I really don't have a reason not to work hard for VCE.

For me, its simple. Not everyone has the capability of getting a high ENTER score but I am going to try day and night to get as high as I possibly can because this is probably the most important year of your life and theres no point not trying.

At the end of the year even if I dont get as high as I want to 96+ I will be at least a little bit satisfied that I did the best I could.

actually, i am also motivated by my pacer, which i love very much (<3 Pentel side click ones). I can't use the ones with rubber grips coz i find them very distracting(dunno why), the ones with just normal transparent grip is much better for my concentration (even though it hurts sometimes). Whenever i get bored and stuff and can't be bothered solving questions anymore, i ll just tell myself how fun it would be to use up the half-used lead left in the pacer - and i usually end up forgetting about it and start to concentrate in the work

we used to compete in primary school about our lead-using speeds =P

i think i used up about 15 leads this year ^_^ which is wayyy more than my usage from yr1~11

^ lol I'm obsessed with gel pens...so smooth.

yaya gel pens <3<3 but they are non-erasable, which means i will have to render my rubbers usless. so i usually prefer writing in pacers ^_^;

just bought two packets of colorful gel pens~ yayy i have 14 colors now~

lol, good to know im not the only stationary addict

[physics]

[S2paramore]

i blame maze pen MONASH gave me for doing crap in english

[brightsky]

LOL. I'm a stationery addict as well!!

And to the question: my motivation lies not in the fact that I need a high ENTER to get into the uni course I want (although that does, in some respects, make a contribution) but merely because of the mentality to do my best in everything I do. Lifting a quote from a book I read recently, "If you want to do something, do it well, otherwise, don't bother doing it."
