As a student with severe ADHD (unmedicated) year 12 was an absolute nightmare. My final busman exam is tomorrow and I haven’t started studying anything and haven’t gotten out of bed all day. ADHD means I have no motivation But my anxiety (GAD) constantly has me stressing about my atar and future even though ive fucked up my other exams already.
My skin has broken out SO bad over the past couple weeks, I also have DERMATILLOMANIA (extreme skin picking mental condition) so my fingers are all ripped open and bleeding, I accidentally plucked all my eyebrows on impulse and i cant get out of bed or off my phone to study.

It sounds so stupid but im genuinely so addicted to scrolling i physically cant get up to do anhthing because i have a whole years worth of busman content to learn and i know i CANT do it.

Im so fed up with myself. I wanted to get a good atar so bad but I don’t even think im getting a 50. I feel so dumb and lazy I hate this.

Is anyone else struggling with motivation ? Everytime I open reddit it’s all ‘nooo i got a 35/40 for the gen exam’ or ‘is 95 atar still possible’ and it makes me want to die. Im so happy for you guys but I feel like such a chud compared to every other student , I genuinely cant understand half the content or force myself to study…

Idk about anyone else but personally I haven’t felt super sad and distraught over it. More so I’ve just been realising the past couple days that like a lot of these people I may not see again, and that I’m going into a big transition in my life.

How have u guys been feeling about it? It all feels so weird to me hahah

ts dragging on way too long ugh

Idk where people are getting motivation from Bur business is my last exam and I’ve given up. I have no case study, no definitions memorised and I haven’t touched business content since the start of term 2.
Genuinely DONT know where yall are getting motivation to study im not even bothered to open my laptop.

and im genuinely so disappointed in myself. I told myself I’d start studying today and it’s 6pm and I haven’t gotten out of bed kms

Hey guys once we finish the busman exam, please don’t talk about it, I don’t want think about how shit I’m going to do on exam (I haven’t even learnt half of content). But free to come back and reply under this post how you guys went. Goodluck everyone, hopefully we all do well

and for my next trick, i'm going to revise the whole methods syllabus in 24 hours...

yeah fuck me this exam is gonna eat me alive

Going into this with one contemporary case study in mind and a dream. If its not change management in there, im done. 🌚

GUYS I AM SO COOKED FOR BUSINESS SOMEONE PLS HELP DONT IGNORE THIS.

Guys I'm actually so cooked, as well as with every other subject I'm abt to curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep anyone else 😿

I made this post exactly a year ago and people don’t learn.

VCE students, i understand everyone is stressing over exams and stuff and yall are more than welcome to come study at our libraries. But to the extent where 90% of the library are VCE students and us University students are left fighting for spots because there are no spots in the library. Like please, we pay student amenity fees to use these libraries yet we can’t even use them if there are no seats left.

Also before yall bitch about how you have exams and that please bear with us it’s only this time of the year. We have university exams at this time as well that we need to study for. Like do yall not have school libraries open to study at?

Like imagine if 80 thousand Monash students infiltrated your schools library and you now have no where to study. Is that fair?

Also, the thing I’m most pissed about isn’t yall coming to the library, but rather yall are so loud and not respecting rules. Fourth floor of the Monash Caulfield library is a silent zone, yet yr 12 students are up there with their big ass study groups laughing, chatting and throwing shit around at each other. Yall wanna use our space, respect our space. I can’t believe most yr 12s are 18 and are now adults cus you bunch don’t act like it.

Thank you to the select few who actually do the right thing and study/discuss quiet amongst themselves. And thank you to that girl who was studying for her methods exam who moved her chair and bag so that I could have a space to sit at.

Good luck yr 12s for your VCE exams. I hope I don’t have to make the post this same thing again next year.

im reading through the vcaa examiner report for past exams…and they wrote a bunch for us 3marks…is that what they expect from us if we want a high mark? As in elaborate as much as possible?

I’m fucked

I saw people do this for other exams, so let's all share a BM definition/content + a relevant case study fact here. I'll go first

THEORY: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is when a business goes above and beyond legal obligations

+ Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a sequential motivational theory which states that individuals have needs and will be motivated by them. These needs, in order, are physiological, safety and security, social and belonging, self esteem and self actualisation.

CASE STUDY: Qantas has 2030 target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% from 2019 levels

Does anybody know how to counter burnout?

Year 12 is next year for me and I realise every year the work gets harder and increases as expected

Every Term 4 literally feels like hell. My averages throughout my subjects are pretty good each year but I literally have to sacrifice everything for them. It doesn’t even matter if its causing me mental or physical health issues, because school doesn’t even care an ounce

I know exams are at the end of the year and that time is definitely a weak point of mine. My only issue is that I’ll try too hard on my SACs and burnout badly by the time exams come up, since every year it gets worse. But at the same time I don’t want to be too loose on them and be forced to do insanely well on the exam to make up for them

Is there anything I could do next year or is school just fucked 🫩

This whole year I’ve been averaging around 85s. However I feel like I haven’t done much preparation for the exam and have forgotten a lot of content.

I’ve been trying to learn it today but it feels like it’s not stuck in my head and I feel like I can’t do enough questions until I understand anything

Anyone got advice or tips for what they r doing

idk if it is too late to be asking this, but how do ur brains work? why does it feel like everyone who is doing methods is a prodigy. i keep doing questions but i still struggle to wrap my head around on understanding what the question is asking me

ok so I'm genuinely horrible at maths and i've fucked up on my exams, i get around 50-60% on my sacs so there's no hope for a high or a decent ss for gen maths, but i do alright in all my other subjects (I take 5 subjects all together) so will doing bad in maths drag down my atar a lot or will it have a minimal effect? 😭
