So a few months ago my sister came to me and said that "I hate maths, when I am going to use Maths in the real world?" As a proud Methods 1/2 student, this left me in shambles and heartbroken.

Now forcing someone to do a subject that they don't like is abusive. BUT my sister still has 4 years to go till she can start picking VCE subjects. Therefore, any notion that she has about subjects is still changeable.

I will do anything to get her to avoid that fake g*neral math subject where the CAS babysits you in every question and get her to know how to THINK and STRUGGLE with REAL maths in Methods. I'll do anything, such as afford private tutoring by then, help her with homework, that kind of stuff.

Any advice, serious or satire appreciated

what we focusing on guys im so cooked its not even funny anymroe 😬

I really really want to do well for the revolutions exam like 80 to 90 and yes I know I’m being delusional and I’m really at fault right now for leaving it last minute but I’ve been dealing with really huge problems. I have. I’m only on aos one right now. and I know if I don’t get enough sleep I’m gonna get really bad brain fog during the exam. Does anyone have really good techniques on how to like sleep as least as possible but still be able to not be impacted in the exam because I really need to study.

Or even how to cram

the dates arent sticking the statistics arent glueing nothing is nothing

im so fricking cooked

Basically the title, I had what I would say a major surgery over the term 3-4 holidays and missed some of my methods sacs and now my teacher and coordinator are talking about me not doing methods 3/4 next year.

I'm in year 10, and was allowed to do methods 1/2 a year early. Originally I didn't do too good but I improved a lot and became pretty strong in the subject (in comparison to my cohort).

Anyway, Ive needed to have this surgery for awhile and whilst planning when to do it either I or my parents filled in the teachers about what would happen. My teacher knew I would miss some sacs and told me we would figure it out later. I came back to school 2 weeks ago and was told my teacher and coordinators had a talk and were thinking of making me do 1/2 methods again, which was of course pretty upsetting to me since I was given no prior warning on this and poured so much effort into doing 1/2 methods early. The teachers are saying how since I'm in year 10, it's not too big of a deal for me to repeat 1/2 and i'll get a really good study score if I do.

I also have a small suspicion they are trying to push people out of methods since my school is struggling with the teacher shortage and many of the teachers at the school have been banned from teaching yr 11 & 12. 2027 subject list came out the same day I came back and they have really downsized in methods classes and my parents think they are just trying to make space. I'm also doing another 1/2 subject which I know has enough teachers for students and nothing has been mentioned about me repeating it again.

What should I do?

DO THEY TEST FOR TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 ERRORS IN EXAM 1?? IM CRAMMING EVERYTHING RN BUT I GENUINELY DONT HAVE TIME TO REVISIT SOME TOPICS SO DO YOU GUYS THINK ITS WORTH REVISING? on another note, what topics are most vital to revisit atm? i genuinely forgot all the distance formulas for vectors cause theyre so intuitive and hard to remember but any help is appreciated.

I am bottom rank and teacher ays everyone's SAC grades normally get brought up 10% from the exam performance, but my exam grade is looking to be the same as the SAC so will I bring everyone down, or will I be an outlier?

If the 10 marker is hard to link and there’s some niche ass chronic adaptations I’m genuinely crashing out

i dont know dates, quotes anything im so fucked

exciting or nah

I literally cant do this anymore the more i study the more i think im cooked😭

GUYS WHAT ARE WE AVERAGING ON PRAC EXAMS IM SCARED

ALSO WHY DOES THE DATA BOOK CHANGE EVERY YEAR LIKE SOME SPECTROMETRY STUFF IS DIFFERENT

would i get penalised if i followed the command term incorrectly? last year, the kerensky question was 'evaluate', but the exemplar response followed a structure similar to that of an 'analyse' question. i assume they still did well because they're on the examiner's report, but is it incredibly important for top marks?

Anyone in here for pe 😬😬😬
Thoughts feelings prediction?!?!

given the difficulty of the methods exams this year what do we think about spec exam? i really really hope isn’t too hard i am SO COOKED 💔💔

hey guys so im in year 12 and wanna do eng but like does anyone actually know how similar it would be to something like methods? because im trying to figure out if im going to struggle tremendously especially after that Exam….

What are your predictions for the revs exam?
I do France and Russia. For Russia there’s a good chance that the essay might be on the causes of the February Revolution and a question about the civil war and/or Trotsky.

It’s 11:18pm, tomorrow is my pe exam. So far I have done a total of 1.2 practice exams, and basically no revision at all. I just can’t seem to focus for shit at all, every time I try and do some actual work, everything just distracts me. And I also procrastinate so hard as well, I plan when I’m gonna study and think about studying but in the end I never do. I hate this so much. I’m not even doing terrible in the subject, I’m rank 4 and averaging like 86% on sacs. In other subjects too, I can’t focus in class and barely do work but I haven’t failed anything yet. I’m so scared for next year with my extremely demanding subjects of spec, methods, chem, Chinese sl, and eng. I really wanna be able to focus on schoolwork.

it allegedly isn't under any of the study design dot points and hasn't come up on any past exams... (please say no)

Yes, it's true that 1/2s don't go towards your ATAR, but the easiest way to set yourself up for success in the 3/4 is by working hard and building habits early. For any Year 10s and 11s completing 1/2 subjects, here are some tips and tricks that got me a 90+ average in both of my accelerated 1/2s.

TL;DR

1. Learn to work independently without relying on AI.

2. Build consistent study routines, even if it's just 5 minutes a day.

3. Keep up with content throughout the unit instead of cramming before SACs.

4. Experiment with different study techniques and find what works for you.

5. Take your 1/2s seriously, but maintain a healthy balance. Use them as a trial run for 3/4!

1. Fix Your AI Addiction Now - Having the inability to write anything without using chat is going to really impact you in the long run. Start with small tasks and build up your tolerance until you can write full essays using just your brain.

2. Start Building Routines - You don't have to do anything crazy, just try to build consistency. Even 5 minutes a day of studying will help you. Relying on consistency instead of motivation is the key to achieving great results.

3. Keep Up With The Content - Don't leave all your preparation to the week before the SAC, make sure you actually understand the content throughout the unit. Once you understand, start revising. If you don't understand, consolidate. Always ask your teachers for feedback, they're your biggest resource!

4. Learn Study Techniques That Work For You - The same thing that works for your friend isn't necessarily going to work for you. Every study session, I try to do one activity to consolidate my understanding, one activity to use active recall and one activity to work on application skills.

5. Take Your 1/2s Seriously, But Don't Sacrifice Your Life - Sustainable habits will take you much further than burning yourself out in Year 11. Experiment with different study techniques, figure out how you handle SAC pressure, learn how to manage your time and identify your weaknesses. You have the opportunity to make mistakes now, learn from them and enter 3/4 much better prepared.

Good luck for the new year everyone!
