Mate, you're doing better then "pretty alright".Oh yeah I got so many exam marks back today...
92% in Ancient History (4th lol)
94% in Food Tech (1st)
88% in Bio (1st but gross)
15/15 for English Adv Creative, 15/15 for Reading Comprehension and they haven't told us the essay marks yet.
93% for Legal Studies (1st)
And Idk English Extension yet.
So yeah I did pretty alright, but I'm disappointed with Food Tech and Bio... I made a lot of stupid mistakes in Bio though and the multiple choice was really hard, I got 21/30 for MC and that was the top of my cohort
I could always have improved though. The person who got the top mark in Ancient got 100% which my teacher said she hasn't given for a Half-Yearly exam for over 30 years... So yeah in Ancient I m content with my marks and position but in Bio in particular I was really disappointed though. It was kinda unfair though because my teacher put in a couple of Multiple Choice questions from the next topic that we haven't even started yet. Needless to say, no one got a single one of them correct.Mate, you're doing better then "pretty alright".
tfw when got 68% in Bio, but came 4/13 the ranking was good for me, I finished with an hour left lelOh yeah I got so many exam marks back today...

Yeah I captain my school debate team currently so I may be able to help, I guess my biggest tip would be to be prepared. So, if the topic is education I tend to look up a bunch of statistics related to the topic that you may be able to draw into a debate to make it stand out more. Which speaker are you on your debate team?anyone got tips for debate/debating? I might be doing my first debate this week, I am pretty confident on the speaking part but I've never done debating before except a couple years back. They always ask me to do it and say I would be good at it tho but I never had fridays free the other years or even a slight care/interest.
Yes. You have the proper mentality, don't throw away all your cards before you play them. Same in exam conditions - don't sit there doing nothing, double check and triple check your answers.WDYT about students that finish and hand in their assignments weeks early?
Even if I finished, I wouldn't hand it in until the due date.
Because I can read over an essay 5 times and I won't be able to fault it, but when I hand it in and read through it at home I find a mistake that's blatantly obvious.
I had an embarrassing one once due to auto correct. I wanted to type whereas, and in my essay it said whore as. Lucky I could print another copy off at the school library though.
To the point - isn't it disadvantageous to be overly confident and risk not picking up on mistakes or having that extra time to refine things?
If I complete assessments too early I slack off because my mind says "You've already done it, chill man." I just try and do it in blocks and then edit it with around 2-3 days left.I normally complete my assignments 1-2 weeks before the due date so that I don't feel stressed and so that I have time to receive feedback (if able).
I like to do my assignments all at once no mater how long it takes. I then continue to edit away at it whenever something else needs to be added or taken away and I fix it up a bit. Idk, that's just what works best for me.If I complete assessments too early I slack off because my mind says "You've already done it, chill man."

Makes me feel better. A couple of people handed in an assignment 2 weeks early, and were like 'I've got this, it was so easy, lol'Yes.

I do this too, but sometimes it bothers me because I'm seeing less progress than I would if say I just focused on one assignment.I like to do my assignments all at once no mater how long it takes.
