umm if you want the marks i suggest u hit those practise papers now - theres heaps of them, and even if u end up running out [which i doubt] nothings stopping you from doing them again. kinda like in maths, even though you've done the exercises, the questions are still great for revision.

i generally wing english - i make notes on my texts and learn quotes...but that's pretty much it. you should probably practice writing some essays, though i feel hypocritical writing that considering i only write them when i'm told to :)

as for maths....all you can do is try the hardest questions u can find. :) [and some easy ones too so ur self esteem doesn't plummet]. do as many questions u can get ur paws on.

GOOD LUCK :)

1. dont stress. you need to be calm

2. start studying like mad.make sure u have all of ur main theme and ur thesis for each module.

3. now hit the past papers and when u finish them give it to ur teacher/tutor to check..... you should do abt as mani past papers as humanly possible

make sure you have a big goal, eg: perhaps a uai estimate, and simultaneously you should have small goals, eg: gotta finish this past paper tonight..... by having a series of small goals, you will eventually your big goal and your big goal becomes less overwhelming and more attainable. :p

No it is certainly NOT.

I -started- studying halfway through year 12 after flunking at least 50% of my internal assessments. And my school wasn't even close to being in the top 120.

Although your subjects don't scale well, if you put enough effort it should be enough to get into university.

It is never too late. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Even if your marks arent really high, you will certainly do better than if you dont try.

Yeah only thing you need to worry about is the scaling but if you do some decent work you'll mark it through. I did harder subjects and did crap all in them, didn't get very good marks for any topic but still managed to pull out an 80+ UAI.

Hmm I should probably be inspired by this, oppps, lucky I actually listen in class and do my summaries, and have a good memory.
