I recieved my half yrly reports today and thought I got somewhat decent marks, I am extremely disappointed with myself.
I'm currently 3/14 for moden, 6/21 for ancient, 6/44 for business, 9/24 for adv English, 16/59 for gen maths and 13/19 for legal. Yes, I know, appalling. I'm just angry because I started off with greak marks and became extremely lazy during the half yearlies and have now just started to get into study mode. I am determined to get top 3 for everything come yearlies.

Just needed to vent. Not seeking sympathy, though maybe empathy of some sort?

weren't you the one who was aiming for a 99 atar and was determined to work extremely hard from week 1?

I'm not denying anything. You were right, as were many other people. Congratz.

Good.

Now relax, it's year 11.

ATARs aren't made in the penultimate year.

Thanks for trying to warn me, but sadly I didn't take your advice quite a few months back. I will now. I'm going to relax, but study and whatever happens, happens. It's only preliminary. Thanks again, wish I wasn't as stubborn and ignorant last yr.

I'm just going to pretend you're not trying to sound like a sarcastic little bitch.

HAHAHAH whoaaa. I can guarantee that I'm not. I was actually being serious, and I don't blame for for thinking that I was being sarcastic, as your first impression of me probably wasn't the best.

anyway, considering it's year 11, don't worry too much. just try your hardest for now and pick up skills necessary for year 12.

Agreed, it's year 11? Why worry so much when the marks don't even count yet LOOL!

Relax and study in moderation (ignore your current ranks and just study zzz), no point going hard out right now when the chances are you will burn out in Year 12 or in the HSC.

I remember my year 11 report. Absolutely horrible. It was something like English-3/108; 2U-8/113; 3U-26/65; Chemisty-17/60; Biology-18/80; Physics-11/36.

Things changed though, when yearlies came around :) Keep your head up!

LOL and you're complaining about how bad those ranks are? :L

Pish! Thats not horrible at all

And gleeek, don't worry! It's good you're making these mistakes now rather than in yr12, when it actually counts =)

Hmm same here actually... my ranks so far are:
Music 2: 1/5
Ancient: 1/30
English Adv: 1/ about 60
English Ext: 2/8

Physics: Not in the top 10/25
Maths Adv: 20th or 21st/65
Maths Ext: No idea but considering I failed my last exam (along with everyone except for 5 people) I doubt it's a good placing....cannot wait to drop -_-

Conclusion: I need to put WAAAY more effort into the non-humanitarian subjects....

It's ok, trust me you are not only one who feels this way. All I can think of right now is how glad I am this is not yr 12!
