Good luck for the chemistry sac!
Thank you! I read this before taking it and it really cheered me on :)
Good luck for whatever you might have coming up too!!

Big week, to say the least.
I've discovered that because our timetable runs biweekly, one of those two weeks is just a hot mess. Hardly any frees, lots of doubles (and hence, lots of SACs) and just all-around crappy.

So, I am yet to receive word on psychology. On the other hand, I got my results for chemistry the day after I sat the SAC. My result is definitely something to be happy about but if anything I am anxious.

My placement is giving me more grief than I would have expected. Not because of the work or course, but because of the contact-hour requirements that I am not meeting. There were issues with the employer so I'm just lucky to be there, let alone asking for more hours. I'll have to get them though, otherwise I won't be able to to graduate lmao. I’m hoping to do some medical coding if possible. I like what I’m doing at the moment but after about 4PM there aren’t many (not even one last week) patients to attend to so I think some secretarial-type work could be good.

I am feeling increasingly nervous with regard to EL. I feel like there is some degree of creativity in writing Sec B/Cs, but for some odd reason, nothing comes out of my pen when I go to write. I usually have at least one thing in my essays that is original, creative or otherwise setting me apart from the pack. But lately, I can’t concoct something of that nature. Perhaps I ought to read more for leisure. Although, English Language has had a surprising development in which my pieces are going to other schools. Weird, but hopefully beneficial.

I have a methods topic test on Transformations on Friday of this week. I’m looking to make up for the embarrassment of a test sat last time ‘round.
Other than that, I’m falling behind again on working ahead (lol). I’ve decided to take it easy and only complete those tasks when I have free time. It might mean finishing them off during the holidays, but that isn’t the worst that could happen. After I do finish them, I’ll be working on practice questions and possibly exams, as well as “working ahead” for English Language and “revising” for Methods. I figure English Language is a lighter course in terms of workload and Methods is full of skills I need to be keeping fresh as we go through rather than working ahead.

Anyway, that’s all for me for now. Have a great week all!

I know I’m like 35 years late here, and tbh I don’t usually read VCE Journals, but yours really stood out to me!! Especially in your original post, about how one should aim for the highest ATAR even if they expect less. I think that’s amazing. Legit, THANK YOU so much! Also, like others have said it’s nice to see another KPOP fan here hehe.

Will enjoy reading the rest of your journey from all the way here in NSW : D!

Only 9 full days of Term 1 left!
I'm not sure whether I'm happy or a little worried about that fact haha.
We have Labour Day holiday tomorrow (woohoo!), our Athletics Carnival next Friday, and Year 12 Retreat for three days in our last week, finishing the term on Thursday. So, surprisingly, there is not long to go now at all.

I had another methods test on Friday for transformations. I managed to get the exact same score as the first test we did. I probably should have done better in retrospect - I literally wrote on the paper 'I don't know how to subtract/add these algebraically' when afterwards a friend told me what they did and I almost fainted it was so obvious. I'm usually relatively good with algebraic manipulation so it is a little worrying that I'm making weird mistakes. I'm going to have to focus more on methods than I have been. Polynomials, huh...

We have a SAC for English Language next week on Friday. I've got this week to prepare for it and I'm really aiming high. I've just got to get over my weird issues with Sec B writing and smash a few practices out, get the content firmly under my belt and really hit this SAC out of the park. Fingers crossed.

Psychology, on the other hand, is still being marked. It's driving me a little bit up the wall, if I'm to be honest. I do think that getting assessments back in a timely manner is really important in VCE. I think it will give people an idea on where they stand (do I need to study more? Did I understand that topic? Should I try harder this topic?), a wake-up call to those who need it, and a bit of a release from tension lol. Hopefully it will be out this week.

Chemistry is going pretty well. We have started redox but progress is slow. I felt really good though because even after writing notes on it in like December of last year, I was able to explain concepts really well to a mate who forgot/didn't know how galvanic cells worked. It's a good sign. I'll make sure to do redox questions over the term break, as well as hopefully finish off notes for Unit 4. How long have I been saying that for? Hahaha. I took some notes on spectroscopy this week and although I was daunted at first (which may have been a contributing factor to the procrastination...) it isn't too bad and actually quite interesting.

In terms of motivation, I feel that I am dropping a bit. For the last two weekends I have just chilled out and done a bare minimum amount of study. But, I'm not really frustrated or feeling guilty because I know that if I push it too hard, I will burn out. It has happened before. I'm happy with just revitalizing at home and leaving study for school-time until I get some momentum back. It has kind of come at a good time because I can use the holidays to rest up and get back into it before Term 2 starts. I'll still make sure to post entries for the holidays because I am going to study. Accountability!

It isn't as interesting, but I've got some things going on in my personal life, too:
probably boring to you, v excite to me
So, I've saved up some money and decided that I'll go back to Japan (with a detour in South Korea!) in November, after exams. Since I went by myself last time, I really want to take my Mum so I can show her where I was, what I did and have her meet the families that generously hosted me for two months. Also, I only travelled to Kobe, Osaka, Himeji, Kyoto, Kanagawa (only residential), Tokyo and Enoshima. So, this time, I'd love to travel to different places and explore further into the North and South of Japan. My plans at the moment include Niigata, Hiroshima, Hokkaido (may be too cold...), Nara, and anywhere the time-frame and JR Pass can take us. The problem is, of course, when to book the tickets for. I'm anxious to get cheap flights but the VCAA Exam Timetable for 2018 doesn't get released until May. I'm thinking that I should just go off my assumption and hope for the best. For those interested, this is my predication for my exam times this year:
1/11/18 9:00-11:45 Psychology
7/11/18 9:00-10:15 Methods I
8/11/18 11:45-14:00 Methods II
13/11/18 9:00-11:45 Chemistry
15/11/18 11:45-14:00 English Language
The reason why, by the way, I'm trying to buy tickets so close to the end of exams in November is because (a) the earlier, the cheaper and (b) provided I actually get an interview, med interviews are held very early January and then O-Week, biology short course, relocating etc. will all have to happen in February. So, it's November to early December or nothing. I am - if you couldn't tell by the erratic planning - very excited.
Also, my cousin had a baby last week who I saw for the first time this week. I'm beginning to think that all the babies are so cute in our family that I'll really get a shock when I see an ugly one hahaha (just kidding!)

Anyway, have a great week everyone!! Hang in there !

Keep it up, Sarangiya, it is really good to see that you are trying to improve your motivation, just like me :P . I don't think I've said this yet, congrats on your previous SSs, I don't know what it would be like to do U3/4 subjects before Year 12, but it's great to see the effort you put into them. Keep it up for the coming months of year 12 and you will do well. Good luck :)

Thanks for your reply! Yessss literally haha
I checked our intranet portal last night and noticed that the assessment had been defined but there is still no score or feedback associated with it hahaha. It's like it was teasing me.
Hope everything is faring well in NSW! It wouldn't be Labour Day there would it?

Two more weeks left...! Well, technically only 5 days left :)

This week went by pretty smoothly. We did finally get our psychology SAC back! I got higher than what I did last year but I was still pretty disappointed it was only an improvement of 3%. I ended up getting three multiple choice questions wrong and one mark off short answer. I feel like one of those incorrect MCQs and the lost mark in SA were actually debatable. Well, actually, I had this episode of being like "what, she mustn't be an experienced marker because these are definitely correct!!"... only to calm down, think rationally, research a couple of points and come to the conclusion that I myself had exhibited "psychological projection" - which ironically enough, was one of the MCQ I lost. Blaming others > cognitive distortion > cognitive sign of stress. Sad times.

As for math, last time I said I got the same score as what I did for our first topic test.
the story
Well, after these tests we have to write a report correcting and walking through what we got wrong. A very good idea, in my opinion. But as I was trying to rectify my mistakes I noticed that even though I was sure of the method, I just kept getting my answer. I consulted a friend who just eats through methods like it is breakfast and she thought my answers were right. Off to my teacher I go, hoping to get some closure. Instead, my teacher is adamant that his working was correct and no matter how many different ways I tried to elicit the "well, yeah, that's because -- oh" moment, it didn't come. He even said "this is a weird question - most questions on the exam will be like [insert random question]". Anyway, come later in the week, our teacher tells us to take out our tests and either add or deduct marks for guess which questions.
I am happy to say that my mark this time was 6% higher than the first, and I've got a nice positive trend happening. I won't say I'm too happy about the above, but I think things like this must happen, and it wasn't a SAC so...

A similar situation also occurred with English Language. We did our practice SAC and I came out feeling miserable. I had missed a question, didn't write a whole paragraph that I'd planned out, and wasn't really sure about anything at all.
what happened
I had my SAC rescheduled in another room. However, some students rocked up late. Instead of starting immediately, the supervisors wanted to wait for them until it got late enough that the second just waltzed in after starting time. Of course, they and others had no idea what they were doing so they had assistance given to them loudly. And of course, the supervising teachers had a lovely banter while switching over, one had a nice chat with a student, and when one student needed help with the formatting of her assessment task, the supervisor just said 'I wasn't given any instructions' and after a long, loud dialogue between the two, the student was simply left to her own devices. Possibly the worst SAC conditions I have ever been in. I pride myself on having very good concentration in public, and really do believe that despite any disturbances I usually can keep focused. This time, though, I was hugely affected. And with no clock in the room, caught out early (actually, I wasn't given the full time for that reason as well), and left feeling awful.
But, I ended up getting a good mark and for the essay, only one mark off. Turns out I technically wrote three paragraphs because I squished situational and cultural context into one paragraph, when it should be two. Interesting. I've got the real deal this week. Hope I can pull off an even better mark.

In chemistry we are still going through redox. I had a good VET session learning about the skeletal system. Did you know babies aren't born with the kneecaps? Neither. Also, I am an addict to chiropractic videos on YouTube (check out Dr. Rahim - my fave), and so I was all up with the cervical, thoracic, lumbar lingo hahaha. The assessment we have is on workplace safety. Pretty good, I'm having fun.

Hope ya'll have had a good week, and another good one ahead!

Can relate with psych, I swear some answers to questions are rigged 🤣 probably my way of making myself feel better about losing silly marks. My school is up to electrolytic cells in chem, but my school is going way too fast. Literally did redox in one single period good luck with your upcoming sac! :)

So true! Man, our school still hasn't really moved on from redox. For some reason noone seemed to get it in Year 11 apparently. Thanks so much!

Finally, the last real week of school is over!!
This week I just had a full day Monday, and then will have retreat (a religious camp) from Tuesday to Thursday. I'm pretty excited.

I ended up getting sick (again, sigh) with a viral infection/cold-type illness. It started on Sunday and I ended up taking Monday off. Since I only go to school for one period on Tuesday, followed by placement, I called both off. Unfortunately even though it was only a mild cold, it would have been unwise to work around immunosuppressed cancer patients or people on other kinds of drug therapies. It has really made me think about how much anyone employed in health should care for their own health. I also had a lovely man make me a big, green, octopus balloon animal after having a chat with him last time. It was so sweet. Unfortunately, I think my work ended up throwing it out :( I'm actually really heartbroken but at least I have the photo as a memory. :(((

Wednesday I had half my English Language SAC before school. Because of the placement/VET, it was rescheduled. But honestly, I'll never opt to do that again. I was fortunate enough to be able to read what I wrote in the second half that we had the following day, but boy oh boy I was almost falling asleep in the chair. I did the other half, which wasn't too bad. I also sent off an extra Sec B to be assessed externally. I received it back today (Monday) and had my gorgeous teacher "blanket-wrap" me (her own words) so I wouldn't feel so insulted. In fact, the feedback wasn't harsh at all. I actually thought it was a little less sharp than what she has given me before haha.

On Friday, we had athletics carnival. I only did a few events: 100m, 200m and the egg and spoon race. I got 3rd in the 100m and 3rd in egg-and-spoon (lol) but that's it. I got to wave around our stick used for cheering though, which was fun. The senior division of our House came last, but overall it was our win. Swimming and aths - we've bagged it! :) It was loads of fun, and of course, very sorely farewelled.

I might make an update on this post later on. But for now, hope you all have a great week!!

Hey!! New user here but I was reading your journal and your VCE journey just seems awesome, especially your raw 50 in Japanese, that's just amazing! I also did a language last year (Chinese) and didn't do well so to me it's just amazing for you to get a perfect score in a second language. Anyway good luck for VCE and enjoy your upcoming holidays :)

Hi there!! Welcome to ATARNotes!! And thank you so much for your reply.
Thanks so much. Yes, it was so suprising to me actually! I think it just boiled down to some good luck.
Chinese is notoriously difficult so don't beat yourself up about it, especially when you've got amazing results for methods and physics! Crazy that you could get that mark in methods in year 10!! I think you'll absolutely smash this year!
Best wishes to you too!
Sometimes you make choices, and sometimes choices make you.
