It was like this around this time last year too.

I’m only getting two assessment this term: religion and English. I hate the Religion test so much cause it weighs 20% and is worth 20 marks (4 five markers), meaning each mark is 1% of our internals. I really don’t like low mark assessments cause it just means each mark weighs a ton, although the test does seem pretty easy ngl.

Same. We’re finishing post 1945. I think for exam prep I’ll just do a 5 marker for every dot point - I can send you the doc later when I do all that.

Our school doesn’t even use the textbook lol. We just have a very good Canvas page the SOR teachers put together

i love tasks for sor, they're so chill, although i don't know why my school is doing the syllabus out of order, we're doing the depth studies first so my first assessment is on islam

i'm getting assessments for all my subjects this term, and i'm pretty sure i'll have an exam block in week 9ish? not sure, the teaching staff aren't transparent with us at all, it's really annoying

i can relate to that so much, my school doesn't use any textbook, it's just some external sites and random slideshows, but it ends up working out for me lol

when i first started yr12 i was pretty on top of my work and i think my biggest regret was not staying consistent and continuing that for the rest of the year

 

[AsuTeksu]

consistency gets difficult closer to trials and when assessments start coming along because that's when you start neglecting your subject notes or you prioritise certain subjects over others

No tutoring. What about you?

 

[AsuTeksu]

No tutoring. What about you?

I don't get any tutoring but a lot of people in my grade do. I don’t plan on getting tutoring at all for the duration of Year 12, but every now and then I wonder if self study will get help me achieve the academic goals I’m aiming for since my school is no help
