First off, dude you are not fucking hopeless. Hopeless are those people who are ignorant of their own problems or mistakes and don't bother trying. YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT THAT. I don't want this to turn into a motivation thread, but if you seriously think you are bad at English, work at it tomorrow. In the meantime, listen to music/go to sleep/write(am I the only one that does this for fun?)/chill ax.

[Dejan]

Haha, let's play that game, we'll keep refuting eachother's points cause it's always fun

1) That's good, not a bad motivation, but is there a motivation behind that, or are you just wanting to get 25+ (I think) in English?

2) Good, have a sleep in tonight, wake up a little later than usual

3) Why would it be negative, who has to improve? Who has to put in the hard yards? Who wants to do better? Who wants to get into their course? Who holds the key to his own future? That's right, YOU, so why are you being negative, why do you want to deny yourself this opportunity?

4) Maybe so, but if you don't change that, you're not going to improve, that's why change starts NOW.

Look at it this way, which would you regret more?
1) Not trying, being negative and not getting in?
2) Giving it your best shot, not getting in, but knowing that you really gave it your all and you have other pathways to consider?

Forgot to cut out the top bit of the message .
1) Yes just a 25+ is all is that needed and that's the only motivation really..
2)I'll try my best, never works out because I feel really tired so I tend to sleep in more to make me feel all ready to go
3) Because i'm not amazing at english, I do :p, me , I do , I do , I do (unnecessary I do's but that was motivating), because yet again I am crap at english and I don't want to of course I don't, but I have already sabotaged my chances as i have did nothing for english this and last year 

1) Yes it's true I would regret not doing anything, being negative and as I've experienced this before

[paulsterio]

Hahah, yes, do try your best.

Exactly - YOU DO it's all up to you and really this is what I have to say - if you don't change now and make an effort to improve your English my remotivating yourself, are you going to get better at English? If you keep thinking negatively and complaining about how bad you are, does that make you better? Of course not.

You can change how good you are, write more essays, read more, look at past exams and look at a variety of topics. Who cares if you haven't done anything all year for English, you can't change that, so why live in the past - we're worried about the here and now and the here and now is that you have a few days left, so use them.

People complain because it's easier than putting in the work - if you put in the work and pull of the study score you need, you'll remember this for the rest of your life.

10/10 advice

[Dejan]

To be honest, it depends on how you look at it, I love having a target to work towards, that's why I love seeing how good people are (*ahem Thushan ahem*) because it truly motivates me, I say to myself "Alright, I want to be just like them" - it's what drives me to be better than what I am

Just remember that deep down, everyone has it within them to be great, you just gotta find it somehow

I had that target but I won't get there anymore.. I mean it would be amazing to great as someone who has scored over a 90 ATAR

[paulsterio]

Mate, you have 7 hours to get from Melbourne to Sydney. If you sit in Melbourne and say "it would be amazing to get to Sydney, but I have no hope of getting there", you're not gonna get there. If you actually get in your car and give it a shot and drive to Sydney, you might still have little hope of making it there on time, but at least you give yourself the chance.

Never deny yourself chances

Again I'll say this: procrastinating on here is NOT going to help you.

[nisha]

By complaining you are not going to achieve anything. Focus on what you CAN DO, and not on what you cannot. Focus on the positives-Why? because it makes you feel a "helluva" lot better- and you need that positivity and attitude going into ALL YOUR EXAMS. Not just English. The more you complain, the more we cannot help you, because you will just spiral into your own misery.
Get up.
Pull your socks up.
And sleep.
Tomorrow's task: DO ENGLISH.

EDIT: English is in your top four as well. Its best to devote some time to it.

Yes I will if I really wanted to change then I will improve but if I don't then I won't be any better but maybe even worse o.0
The bad thing is about the upcoming days is I have to devote my time to my other subjects as I have ZERO STUDY FOR THEM so I can't spend more time on english. I know it will be a memory that I will never forget if I get it

You're so right and I'm here bringing my self down instead lifting my spirits up and becoming motivated.. What a pathetic human being I am

[Greatness]

Just Do it.

Seriously write a few essays from each section and go to your English teacher to get feedback

During term 4/swotvac I was consistently bringing essays in for my English teacher to go through with me and I learnt to craft and perfect my ideas which brought my B+ essays to A-A+ standard consistently

Email your English teacher and make a time, prepare a few essays beforehand then see her and go through it

Just receiving constant feedback is the best way to improve for VCE English since there's no answer guide for the subject

[Shenz0r]

You can't just crawl into a hole and not do anything about your woes. That's not how life works. You have to pick yourself up, and just do things. Nobody succeeds without getting hit by a speed bump along the way.

Already 4 for Section A and B but I got to do more for Section C, I will hand in essays but it's the weekend unfortunately

[Furbob]

There's always Monday! Just hand that truckload of essays to your teacher and he/she would be glad to see you're trying and will help out

[Base]

Lol don't worry you're not the only one. You sound just like me atm. I'm pretty much screwed due to procrastinating. The panic has only just hit. Only a few days left and I've barely done any practice exams and my English sucks.
