Guys does anyone else perform the best when they actually don’t try?? Like for English if I did try and actually memorised my essays I feel like I would get 70% but usually I get like close to full marks if I don’t and same goes for alll my other subjects but when I try I get 70% but I don’t know if it’s worth the risk.. (chem and physics is out of the game tho bye highest I’m getting is 85%)

NO LITERALLY SAME, istg on essays I try to memorise, I must make my mind all flustered and shi and it makes me perform worse, vs just knowing quotes and some practice thesis statements tends to help me do better, it's so strange. literally for our half yearly on tempest/hagseed I got the top mark and I didn't even read the book/play or memorise anything, i swear it works to not read the texts bc then you can just get your opinions from previous 20/20 essays!

[quokka]

anyone have modern trial tmrw it’s my first three hour exam ever

 

[fluffy_unicorns]

Ughhh okay so don’t study till the night before and just pray for the best bc ur right it’s almost over.. even if you’re getting a 40% in math ext that’s still better than an 80 in advanced in regards to indicative atars

wait really? ong thats insane-
istg math adv is so annoying bc its not that hard to comprehend, just easy to make mistakes in and there's so many ppl who do it so its really competitive

Yeah me too literally everything I’ve done for English is a days worth of prep and I feel like remembering quotes effect context and some overall idea is better than memorising an essay u probs will struggle to adapt

Well at least you've never had to do a 3hr English exam then. Cause that will be prelims for me

WAIT WERE THERE THREE HOUR PRELIMS OR IS UR SCHOOL SPEICAL

 

[C2H6O]

1. no not really, especially compared to my other subjects bc I'm more english/art-y
2. likely not, if I walked into the trial now, I would completely bomb it fs, especially bc I tend to struggle with time on math exams
3. prolly not, the problem is that I lack a lot of the foundational knowledge bc I was at a really really shitty school beforehand, and so basically missed all of year 10 maths

uhh.. ok DROP THAT SHT

 

[fluffy_unicorns]

so queen what compelled you to pick extension math then

I like math i swear i just struggle to keep up with ext1 bc most of the class takes ext2 and the teacher is so fast and I literally have no time to study in it while doing major works and english

huh. No I meant that the eng prelims at my school are 3 hrs. But since this is urfirst 3 hr exam then u obv didn't have a 3hr English prelim

Yes!! My teachers always emphasise this, ur mark may be shit but remember even people at the top selective schools averages are low and that just results in everyone being scaled up due to difficulty. Obvs I suggest still trying but if it’s too time consuming you have the ability to drop so no stress

it’s my least favourite wish i was u

literallyyyyy, like my teacher said that ppl who memorise and regurgitate the exact same essay get like a band 5 tops, bc the markers can tell when you've memorised and not adapted it well

 

[Study to success]
