Ok so now that we've all been yr 12's for a term i want 2 ask you guys if you're familiar with this situation:

In year 11 you had these unrealistic goals for year 12 and convinced yourself that because of the mere fact that it's YEAR 12 you'd suddenly become this genius..
anyway all i'm asking is..hav you guys stuffed up your first assessments?

I've done four assessments already.

Modern History - 23/25.
Extension History Proposal - 5/5
English: Handed in task and did the essay. It was good.
4U: Better and easier than expected compared to some textbook questions.

I find that cramming still works :)

Answering your question, I don't think I've failed any assessments but I do think I done not as well as I could've in my physics assessment due to last minute work & being too optimistic thinking my class wouldn't have done such a good job on their assignments (one presentation was 40 minutes ! O_O")

But either way, I KNOW that it's not too late to start improving. Consistent work will get you there. In year 11, my speech got me a 50%. A few weeks ago, I gave my first assessment speech for english. 90% ! My weakness is speeches! Trust me. I'm too shy and people think I lack confidence. But I showed em ! =] lol .. see ! miracles do come true ! I, for one, never thought I'd EVER get anything >80 in english. Wooo go me ! :)

Got two assessments in the 80s and one in the 90s, so pretty good so far. Still have to get Eng Adv Imaginative Journeys Synthesis, EngX2 Proposal and G-Maths test back.

Definitely. Don't lose hope yet- theres around 3 terms to go. And don't despair yet; you haven't received your results back yet :) You might do better than what you expected :uhhuh:

Or:

Weir's effective use of film (I'm assuming its a movie?) techniques is critical in conveying...
