[Study to success]

Guys I have a question for essays in general. Say I integrate 2 quotes per paragraph for 3 paragraphs, how many techniques do I use per quote? I've heard its one per quote otherwise the essay gets rushed and less in depth but from others I've heard that it deepens the analysis, hence getting more marks. So, is it one technique per quote or more?

I think doing 3 quotes per parra is better. I usually just do 1-2 techniques per quote

 

[Study to success]

But how many parragraphs?

3

3-4 quotes in each para with 1-2 techniques per quote if you can find 2 then always do 2

can I get a 70 atar with minimal study. If I half wing exams surely it'll be fine right

i mean thats the average atar so...

 

[Study to success]

i mean thats the average atar so...

cause tbh I only need a 70 for the business degree I wanna do. If it makes my parents happy, my mental health happy, and is easy to find jobs then ig it's not too bad. Plus it's really easy to branch out to do different things

 

[Study to success]

Also maq early entry will be pretty easy so now it's just reassuring me that even if my mental health goes down from here it won't affect my future too much hopefully

did something happen?

 

[Study to success]

did something happen?

im to depressed to put an actual effort into studying so im just trying to reassure myself that even if I do fail all my half yearlies it will be fine. Also I've had a second thought of career options and do I really wanna do design. I wanna do something like businessy/ media, marketing stuff more tbh and design will probably make me unemployed. I mean I can always do design as a side thing and run a business

 

[Study to success]

Always better to aim higher though

yeah I'll see if my mental health permits this

 

[Study to success]

cause if I don't find any fulfilment in studying, any purpose in it, then how am I gonna find any motivation. All of my efforts will be pointless and just be liek filling empty vessels that won't do anything in my life. I don't think I've understood how depressed it's made me until it all came crashing down today and all these emotions that have accumulated over the months has finally hit me

 

[Study to success]

I need something to look forward to and the things I wanna do now, I wanna make it useful for the future and actually align with what I wanna do rather than chasing for an ATAR that will be useless for what I wanna do in the future

 

[Study to success]

ive made my whole life about atar, studying and I need a piece of my life back. tbh the joy, the dreams I had liek during hte holidays when studying wasn't taking up my time and thoughts, actually gave me hope and direction in my life. I need this piece of my life back

 

[Study to success]

True but you'll have to balance it. You can't just ("give up") on this basis

I mean I won't fully give up cause ive def given up numerous times but then for some reason I still started trying again but I won't be making studying my whole life. Like I wanna work more on my passion projects and planning my future endeavours

 

[Study to success]

Even if that's what you really want to do don't slack off until you get accepted into early entry. I think the issues with all this grinding & cramming come with bad planning. Ofc in a time like now you'll start to rethink the worth of doing this all but you must push through it and not let these mistakes repeat themselves

yeah I won't completely slack off. But also my mental health is like deteoriating so much so like idk how to balance all this and it's making things worse. The reason why I ahve to cram was cause of my mental health and I wanted ot lock in but things are just getting so tough I physically cannot

 

[Study to success]

Its very possible to do both though

ik but along with juggling my mental health I can't. But I will be forced to do both tho so that I don't get like n awards from my teachers. But I just need to take a step back and reconsider what I wanna do and what im doing all of this for

the thing is it's just a negative cycle just repeating myself. Cause each time I get more defeated, I just become more and more unprepared. It's almost like I care less and less each time evne tho it should be the opposite. Like my school has made us do so many fo these exams that I no longer find them scary and it's jsut like another practice task basiclaly and it makes me care less and less cause I don't see the use of all fo this

 

[Study to success]

You could.... See the councillor? Or you may benefit from planning some fun stuff on the holidays with some friends to get your mind away from all of this. Say, take week 1 as a proper rest and scale up the effort again week 2.

the councillor honestly isn't really that good and ive heard many bad stories about it. Also I dont' feel like spilling my guts out to these people and I'd rather find a psych that I could actually properly open up to and like be more comfortable around. But obv my parents won't understand and won't approve of this soo

 

[Study to success]

Like you had said before, you could push to get a diagnosis for ADHD? I think even getting your parents to call the school, they would be able to change a few things here and there to make the experience slightly less worse

they dont think there's anything wrong with me. They dismiss everything. Like once I said I think im iron deficient and they were like no ur not and were almost making fun of me. Also I feel like I can concentrate when it comes to things I enjoy but school work I jsut can't. Im the type of person that's like if I love what Im doing I will put my whole heart and soul into it. If I don't then I won't gaf
