Maybe work harder, of which I could really do more of myself lol....
I'd be more concerned on how you can get a mark of 7.08 out of 15 and 10.2/30...hmm.

RUN!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!?!? become a cave man and live with chubaka and then one day make a glorious return to civilization - that allways fixes things for me anyway...on the other hand - you could do more study? hmm id go with option 1.

i used to be in the same situation with youSteven88 said:
just work harder
do your homework every night even if you have a big workload...you should prioritise your maths first
remember if you do good...thats 40% of your HSC

mm, if youre feeling down about your shit marks, try teasing the kid who's coming last, im sure that will make you feel much better, boost your confidence, and according to jeff geha 'a confident frame of mind can add up to 5% to your marks'
dont freak out yet, you're cutting 7.08/15 is just cutting half way, so i would stress about that mark, and as for 10/30, in my class, 4 out of 6 kids failed the first assessment , the lowest getting 10/50, and our teacher thinks he did great, and maybe needs a little more work, but didnt even recommend he drops it or anything [i disagree with 10/50] but im just saying, raw marks in ext 2 are generally low. A maths tutor told me that if you can attempt at least half the paper in a 4u exam, youre doing ok. Admittedly youre probably not on the yellow brick road the mathematical genius, but hell, dont slash your wrists just yet.

thats actually good advice... just do some work, honestly, if u choose 2 do 4unit then u shud be able 2 go half decent in it, then it just comes down 2 how much work u do, be honest, how much work do u do??? my m8 is comin last in my school in 4unit and he thinks its hilarious cause he does no work, so wake up 2 urself, how muchwork do u do?? is it enough??

agree... its about how much work u do, but its also about being effective in your study. the guy comming last in my skool in 4u, he without doubt does the most (or mabey 2nd most) amout of study, althou he is comming last. and he is like that in every subject, he does so well in class n shit but when it comes 2 assesment he just doesn do well. it because he doesn study effectivley.dawso said:

its definately about effectiveness, honestly, I'm the only person in my class without a tutor, I dont open my book between classes, usually leave it in my locker, so theres definately no bonusstudy going on, and yet I'm topping the class, its partially my pure brilliance, partiall because I actually listen in class, while the kid next to me doesnt even have his eyes open. Every minute you arent fully switched on in class takes 3 minutes to catch up at home. If youre screwing round in class, do everyone a favour and get out of there. If thats not you, my apologies.JamiL said:
