Good Luck for your upcoming assessments!
Best of luck for the tasks mate! Look after yourself
Luck must've really come through because these exams didn't really feel like exams (they went oddly fast, and difficulty was a bit meh), so thanks a lot guys!
On a subject by subject basis:
English: We had to study three questions given a week prior to the task, one of which would be given in the exam. I prepped for all three, because I was paranoid if I missed one I'd fail entirely (that's a show of my confidence in English). They happened to pick the one that objectively would discriminate between students the least, so I'm not too sure how that's going to go for me. It's all RNG from here, seems like a pretty crappy dice roll
4U: I got all but one question out + one or two silly mistakes (still kicking myself, easy marks) , and judging by everyone's reaction after the exam, I've done not spectacularly but enough to keep myself afloat rankings wise. Considering I have a pretty solid cohort, this bodes well
Physics: I feel like Physics is the one subject where you can do a question instantly, but always second-guess your answer (does that look right? a bit big? a bit small?). This exam came basically an hour after 4U finished so I was pretty tired, but I was also doing that self-questioning the whole exam. Did not help, but I did all the questions, and it was a relatively hard exam, hope I did them right
3U: I think this was the exam I was happiest with. With only one silly mistake (which I am also kicking myself for, it's literally because I can't read), I could potentially get really close to 95%. Given also that I flunked ranks wise in the first assessment (even with a 59/65), this was a big confidence booster, this could go well
Chemistry: A ton of weird curveballs, and I started to randomly BS a few of the curveball questions. And for what is perhaps the more mathsy half of the syllabus, I wasn't expecting so many wordy questions, and so little calculations. Definitely got thrown off a bit, but should still do relatively okay :|
Physics Depth Study: The first few questions were an absolute breeze (unless I did something stupid), but the last question was super conflicting. Basically everyone got different answers, it's all so weird
But overall, it's probably one of the better exam periods I've had; felt reasonably comfortable doing the exams, and studying wasn't exactly the long hard slog I thought it would be (except prepping each English question in depth). This is going to step up a bit though, but for now I can study and chill for the next twenty days until next term
Today I did get a nice cooldown after exams, went to a friends place and just unwound, then went into the city to eat and watch Captain Marvel. It was a pretty damn good movie, and overall a damned good day. A good way to end the term, stress has been released
Hope everyone else has had a great week so far
