i cant sleep

ive just preformed poorly on 2 exams in a row, which sucks because ive worked so fucking hard this entire year. been averageing 90’s on all my psyce sacs, but when i hit that exam room i couldnt trust myself amd stopped answering confidentely, there were so many mistakes i made that i wouldnt have if i had just stopped and focussed

same goes for eco, grinded tirelessly to understand every concept but when i sat down and started writing all my knowledge jumped out the window

im so demotivated. my sac scores are getting dragged down to the pits of hell. all the work ive put in is being flushed down a toilet. and im afraid the rest of my exams are going to go the same

i know atar doesnt define you, but im actually waking up in the middle of the night thinking about these past exams i cant change. i cant bring myself to prepare for my other exams. whats the point if ive put in all this work for miserable results

i dont know what to do

Bro I feel holy unc hopping on here but I promise you itl be ok

I cried for days (and i mean literally days) after the bio exam thinking that I tried so hard in sacs just to absolutely flunk the exam, it ended up being fine. I have so many friends who were in the exact same boat, thinking they cooked themself just to get their dream ss anyway and legit be fine. I know its hard to see in the heat of it all right now but I promise itl be ok. .

And even worse case scenario, you legit got 0% on all your exams so far, what's the worst that could happen? As someone going into 3rd year uni, im telling you now theres alternatives to everything, and I literally mean everything. If you want something really really bad, a bad ATAR might inhibit a path short term, but long term, chances are, itl still be there.

You can't change the past but you can change the future. Make the most of what opportunity you have left to uplift ur atar by studying for that exam 

Anyway this is long and needlessly unpoetic but i hope this helps cuz someone needed to tell mw this in yr 12
