Hey pugs!
Great work on the journal.
hey Joseph41! thanks for the positive response!
I wouldn't give up on a 40+ based just on SAC scores. Remember that these might not be quite as they seem (due to moderation and other stuff not really worth thinking about too much), and exams always play a role, too!
ah that's true! i really ought to keep up this mindset else i might just end up giving up altogether
How would you describe each of your subjects atm?
for
english, i'd say that we're going at a pretty decent (but boring) pace → as we're currently studying the crucible, we're watching the play and annotating our copy of the play in each class (with a break in between for our oral presentations). the workload right now is not as hefty as we still have to go through the whole of year of wonders before our practise SAC/the SAC! for extra work, i really want to write a bunch of practise essays and get them marked, but i can't find the motivation to do so
furthermore, i really suck at writing essays in general, so it usually takes me hours to just write one essay :/ (which is very bad as the english exam is looming)
in
biology, it's pretty content heavy as expected. at the end of term 2 we just finished unit 3 and moved onto a little bit of unit 4 (the DNA technology component). i find biology quite fascinating, as most of it can be applied to our daily lives or our future as well! as mentioned before, the workload is heavy, but i think i'm keeping up okay as of now! regarding the previous topics, i think photosynthesis and respiration was one of the trickier topics for me to understand, but with a
buNCH of extra work i managed to score a SAC mark that i was happy with!
chemistry on the other hand is a big mess rn :/ we've begun organic chemistry, which i find quite confusing with all of the
als D: lol!! but then again i
am slacking with the extra work. i really love the experiments we do in class though, and i find that i am a visual learner, so they really help me understand the content! in the previous topics, i got mixed with electrolysis and galvanic cells (lol) which screwed up one of my SACs
, and i'm not a big fan of fuels either. however, i found the equilibrium and rates of reaction topics okay, but i'm awaiting my SAC score to confirm whether i know this stuff or not *sweats nervously bc of first failed sac h a h a*
in both of the maths subjects, the homework/extra work is pretty much just textbook questions, which i think i'm handling okaY¿ for
further, the textbook questions are always doable, which is a relief for me as i picked it up this year. our teacher also gave me some extra questions to do, so i think i'm set for extra work for further lool. i found the bivariate/univariate topic in further quite simple, and i was happy with my SAC score. as for the finance section, i legit don't understand it like
but i managed to do
okay in my SAC, it definitely could have been better though!
as for
methods, i think i'm doing alright with the textbook questions, but they are tough questions, so i usually end up asking for help haha. we've finished most of the calculus topics and are currently starting probability. hOWEVER!! we have a SAC on algebra, antidiff and circular functions very soon (first wk back
how mean ikr!!!) so i'm a bit worried about that as the content is quite heavy!
