Hi guys
Here's a small update on what's been going on since my first post.
Due to everything going on with covid 19 we've gotten this week off (student free days) and thus most of my assignments and exams have been pushed back. I did my english oral last week. It was a complete train wreck
It's been a week and I still haven't got over how badly I did. I'm usually quite good with public speaking but I got really nervous as I admit I did put a lot of pressure on myself to get a 24 or 25 in it. I'm just really bad at english exams so I need to bank the highest marks I can before the external. I also handed in my bio assignment draft. I finished about 1/2 of it...I just wasn't clear on something with my group and was to nervous to ask them. I know now so I am making some progress on it.
The earliest assignment due dates and exam schedules is week 3 term 3 (I don't know if this is for every school in QLD). So I have more time to finish my chem draft and digital solutions final
However, that also means more time to procrastinate and stressing on how to get them perfect
. My maths exam is next term. In order to pass unit 3 I need to get at least a 9 or 10/15 (so like a C+/B-) which I'm quite scared about
. I'm achieving okay in class but everything's different when you're doing an exam.
The QCAA has said that one summative internal assessments for both General and Applied subjects will be removed from the assessment requirements for senior students leaving 2 internal and 1 external. They can't really change the weighting of the external but they probably will change the weighting of some of the internal assessments/exams. I just hope the weighting is in my favour.
To any other year 12's how are you coping with all the changes?
I honestly wish I could just redo 2020...delete it out of existence
I hope everyone reading is doing okay amidst the crazy covid-19 outbreak.
How's everyone doing with the quarantine?
I've just been soooo unproductive. I've caught up on all the dramas I've missed which was good, have "successfully" poached an egg and got my father to trim my hair out of sheer boredom but otherwise have literally been doing nothing. NOTE: It wasn't an extreme trim or anything I just wanted something to change about me xD
Good luck with everything
Stay safe
Until next time

P.S For any one who's in yr 12 and does maths methods there's a pretty good QCAA unit 3 prac exam (tech free and tech active) with solutions. It really helps to see how you're doing in the subject and where the marks go.
