Did anyone else **genuinely** fuck up their english trials (missed questions, incomplete responses)? (1 Viewer)

Paper 1 probably not terrible. comprehension solid but essay was shit, can get a b if i'm lucky.

Paper 2 - Mod A probably bad I didn't address the stimulus, would be satisfied with a low B. Mod B potentially good, I loved the question and got carried away with it. Mod C my mind blanked and I wasted time and barely wrote anything (1 page) so I'm for sure failing that.

Was ranked in the lower end of the Band 6 catchment and now I think my rank is fucked

Not too upset but still disappointed with myself.
mine went swimmingly, comp was easy i didnt even study for it and the essays were all easy, i memorized them the night before and still managed to spit them out while answering the question, also how do you NOT address the stimulus??? thats what english is all about, if you just spit out a memorized essay which doesnt answer the question then good luck getting anything above a 12/20... also 1 page for mod c is kinda crazy LOL

Actually I 'answered' the question for MOD A it's just it's a specific quote I also had to make reference that I had no context of and didn't properly integrate into my essay

dude I don't know I just have no motivation for this shit. like I'm not even too unhappy about it I just feel like I don't want it enough to study. I wish I could care more but i somehow just dont

Omg this is exactly how I feel. I really do want to do well but for some reason my actions just don't match?😭 like I always knew I wanted an 80+ ATAR since I was in year 7 but now that I'm here I wonder if I actually did always want that. If I wanted it wouldn't I actually be studying harder/ working harder? I have been studying but it's only now after failing subjects and doing averagely this whole year😔 really don't get my brain. Nonetheless, I'm rooting for us all I'm sure we'll be okay in the end🥳

I think I "wanted" to do well before because it would affirm me and make me feel like I am smart and therefore a valuable member of society.
I used to go to a private school and was in some accelerated classes and I guess the environment there put this idea in me.

Since then some series of stuff happened in life (unrelated to school) and mental health went to shit and I don't care too much anymore. I go to a public school now and there are all kinds of people here. I still do okay but I don't feel like it's all that important anymore and I think I'm much less stressed now.
Part of me still have a superficial desire to do well like I still feel validated when I get a sexy fraction on the report card but I'm not too stressed

WAY TO GO!!! Don't listen to the negativity, it really isn't worth your time ☺
I mean it's definitely a good idea to take the HSC seriously and put in the effort but I don't get why some people like IhateEnglish123 are so obsessed with being a dick and telling us how much smarter he is

Like good for you bro you're doing well and probably deserve doing well but what's the point of belittling everyone else

Yeah i guess we're both quite directionless at this stage in life. Don't stress too much I had

I do bio too i pretty much didn't study for it. I got really really lucky the exam was actually quite easy.

it's so weird I could spend more effort and do shit at one thing and get lucky with something else. The worst I did on bio was when I studied the hardest with the first assessment (I was ranked very highly in year 11 and wanted to keep it that way in year 12) and I've stopped giving a shit about the subject since. I'm doing mediocre in the subject but I don't really care, trials is probably my best yet.

broo thats exactly how i feel
I used to be one of those people that would pull an all nighter to perfect my stuff for 1 extra mark. Now I would risk losing 3+ marks for sleep. During trials I always set alarm to wake at 6 to study but change it to at least 7:30 every time anyways. I just don't think I care enough 😂

I've really let myself go this year I think I even cared more in year 11.

english for some reason is the only subject i do somewhat want to do well in probably because i enjoy it quite a bit
