yeah its like, you are genuinely trying to support people, but your advice isnt grounded in any kind of reality or real, genuine experience. There is a robotic feel and a separation from idk? humanity? with your responses because you arent undergoing the hsc and are limited in the knowledge and experience, which many people on here are asking for advice or help from people with real knowledge and experience who are currently or have previously sat the courses. People do genuinely want the connection and advice from their peers

i just keep gaslighting myself into thinking everything will come to me in the exam like it will literally be so easy and i will state rank english
It’s basically manifesting and positive thinking so you don’t bomb the exam bc of stress!! A+ strategy

what if i give up on memorising full essays and only memorise quotes, techniques, and general analysis , as well as the things i did wrong in my trials so i don’t do it again in the hsc. doesn’t sound that hard. surely it’ll be fine..… i did decent in trials with this sorta method and i did it the day before….
Thats what I'm doing! Im only really doing mini paragraphs on each bit of evidence i find and connect them to the rubric for prep. Im not usually one to use solely the memorisation route. Also because even if i did, there are 6 days left so it would be a bit silly to write a whole essay and have it approved by my teacher...but i will have SOMETHING prepared, at least to fall back on a little if all goes wrong!

My goal for english is genuinely just to FINISH the exam, Im a slower writer...because i tend to overthink every sentence, so what i need is to just trust myself. Thats the hardest part.

Ive learnt this all before, i know this...i know the topic...i just gotta not overthink it.

As long as i finish it ill be proud of myself!! Even if my marks are terrible, because that would be a huge achievement for me. If i finish all of my exams and get a below average atar i will at the very least have the confidence still to say that i achieved something really cool.

THIS IS THE WAY!! Id rather do terrible in an exam but being somewhat stable than doing terrible but stressed all the way through. Autogaslighting...
Oh my god your subjects make me wonder how you are surviving, sure I get that you like writing but almost all of them have essays?! if I did that I would've been 6 ft under already.

I really like essays...even if i don't do the best on them a lot of the time, i just love the process. Which is why exams are so tricky, it takes away all the linguistic care and careful construction of a piece of writing...granted, its really good practice for strategic thinking! But I'm neither strategic or practical...yet. Im getting there...

Its funny too because the writing style of every single one of my subjects is completely different from each other. Doing english ext 1 and then going to chemistry is whiplash.

ALSO WHOEVER made the hsc timetable is evil they put ext 1 and chem on the same day. Im sobbing.
