I've heard a lot about these, I usually use my Papermate InkJoy 1.0 (the triangular barrel ones) and they lose ink real quick [emoji35]

Cut the self loathing and victimhood and start studying. You have full control of your body.

Follow your normal school schedule and do a task for each subject that you lack confidence in (eg. Period 2 for me today - 9:45-10:35 is Ancient and I need to go over my Ancient Society and do some responses under timed conditions) If you want to see a sample, message me [emoji1]

Content > test yourself on content > past papers


Get a planner, see how many days until HSC is over, plan each day and put in stuff u need to do, say study topic 2 of bio, or do 2010 past paper for math ect.

Pick a subject
Pick something that you need to know
Pick a study method
1 + 1 + 1 = Start studying
Repeat

Wrist doesn't feel better, but I've talked to school and apparently I can still get special provisions. So I'll be able to have an ice pack and wrist brace in the exam and get breaks. I don't really understand how the break thing works though, do I just say 'i need a break' and they pause the clock??

If it gets worse and I cannot write on exam day, I will have to get a scribe. But I'm thinking I'll just push through it and hopefully I will be able to write with the brace and ice. Having to use a scribe for the HSC would be my ultimate nightmare.

If anyone else is having hand issues, there's this gel you can get from the chemist 'anti-inflammatory pain relief gel', looks good, I'll be using it.

How did you ruin your wrist again?

I make scaffolds for topics that I am confident in. Whilst I write essays under timed conditions for topics that I need to improve in. For English, just rote learn your essays - During trials, I rote learned my essays by using flash cards with the main points on them. However, I'm aiming to add more detail to my responses (since that's what cost me a B6 in the trials) so I am rote learning my essays in full.

I have no idea? I think overuse, RSI. But I remember I did bang my wrist on the table like 4 days ago, so maybe that did something and then me writing for 7 hours every day probably fked it up.

Don't write today, just reread your notes or look over marking guidelines for HSC exams.

@flop

Were you writing all your notes out or just the main points?

ah okie. I'll probably write a couple of essays for history to get feedback and then make scaffolds for a few other Qs.

lol..i just got an email back from my english teacher basically telling me nicely that my essay sucked and that ill end up getting C's if i keep going the way I'm going.

edit: not sure if to actually bother with english anymore? we have 6 days and i don't think any amount of help will save me. should I just ditch it and focus on other subs?

 

[Flop21]

Was just doing past papers, and writing main points from notes, plus recalling stuff and writing it on paper. But tbh I don't write that much. Been doing some self diagnosing googling haha and looks like it's probably TFFC tear.

Oh well, hopefully it'll get better, I know I'll be able to push through for first english exam, I just hope it doesn't get worse after that.

You should share them with a classmate doing well and get feedback asap. Teachers are useless with feedback, they just rush through it and give some quick comments.
