Anyway, we're getting down to "crunch time" in the HSC internal assessments. Got to start studying for trials soonish and cope with the loads of assessments we have. How have past HSC students coped with the balance during this time.
I am finding that parties are popping up everywhere now cause of yr12 and all these 18th birthday parties. How do u ppl cope?
I am cruising at the moment, a lot of shit to cover for english for the trials and upcoming assessements this term (2). I know some of u are not into seeing the light of day after school hours and i have come to respect that (those who do not go out and study heaps). I do work hard, I am doing pretty well in school and I still go out heaps. I am aiming for 99.3+ and it will be hard i know, but work is pouring in at the moment. How did u cope?

This is pretty much a continuation of what 1Time4thePpl mentioned.
Best way to achieve your goal:
1. Like 1Time4thePpl mentioned, convince yourself the UAI cut-off will be higher (which it probably will anyway). A great way to achieve the result you want is to stick post-it notes in your room, on the toilet door, or anywhere that you know you'll see it of the UAI you want to achieve. I did this and it worked quite effectively.
2. The second tactic is to write down 22 times for 11 days on a piece of paper your goal. But instead of putting it in future tense, put it in present tense. For example "I am getting xx.xx for my UAI". For each of the times you write that, put a comment underneath of what you are thinking. For example:
"I am getting xx.xx for my UAI"
"I hope I do"
"I am getting xx.xx for my UAI"
"I know I can"
etc
The reason for the comments is to show your change in state of mind on your goal. You may initially believe you wont reach your goal, but after the 11 days, you may be determined and motivated to reach it.
This is another way that helped me achieve my goal (although writing for 11 days straight is a pain. You can't miss out on it one day. You have to do it 11 days in a row).
3. Don't burn yourself out by over-studying. You need to have a social life as well. This will release the stress and keep your mind off the HSC. You can also get a part time job (but don't work more than 10 hours each week). I found working quite enjoyable during the HSC. Besides the crappy customers, work was great and it released the stress (by yelling at the customers
).
I hope that helps as well.

trials at my school vary from only 20 % - 35 %... and most of my subjects only have a 20% weighting LOL... trust me... i already looked into that as my one last hope lol... plus English is a real sore spot for me... I cant understand my teacher... Im not being slack here... he just makes no sense... and stays on one point.. oh lets see... we're currently up to the 2nd week of a point that should have only taken about 10 mins. its frustrating... eh. i dunno. *fingers crossed*
shoulda got motivated b4 now.

Plus don't forget that the HSC carries a massive weighting as well.
What degree are you aiming for?

Remeber everyone, the marks in internal mean shitall basically, its the rank that is important because that is where all ur marks are decided. A 60 at a competitive school could mean a 90 at a pleb school. Its all about rank during the yearMike Long Le said:
actually for uni ive been typing notes (partially because i dont have the time for writing them out manually). What I will do though before the next exams is type them then briefly write them down in dot point form/
