For me, I have learned that I am a one-day deadline person. During these last minutes, I am going to pour out all my effort and the result is usually satisfactory. Then I will talk about it with someone (like in Exam Thoughts forum where I double my post counts in a week) and then realise I could improve next time. But next time never come, and I am just moving on.
One example is this one-night assessment task. I scored top marks on that assessment (note I rarely come first in that subject) and the teacher even admitted that he marked it really really hard. Then he photocopied my assessments as modal answer. That's because of my one-day deadline effort. Even if the teacher gave me two weeks to do, I am going to do it on the last day anyway, while my classmates will have more done on that time, thus I will not score the top mark.
After the teacher returned the assessment, we talk about it, and I realise there are a lot of areas where I can improve. But there will no assessment on that subject anymore for me.
Look, I have Mathematics Extension 1 HSC in 2 days, but I couldn't and wouldn't be able to study if the exam is not tomorrow or in 5 hours. This applied to all my other subjects and I have done just that. I am quite satisfactory with my attempts in HSC though after talking about it, I realise I could improve next time. But there will be no HSC next time for me. See the pattern there.
The funny thing is if I try to do it long before the deadline, most of the time will be wasted to procrastinate and planning (not doing). Then, I will still finish most of what needed to be done on the last minutes. I am going to be stuffed if I don't change this habit in university.
I haven't studied anything in my own time, everything I know is learned during the lesson at school; that's because I am also a wannabe perfectionist. I want to have the best notes, understand everything teachers say and even correct them, but well, it just ain't happening all that too often (It did happen though).
That's me. Just have to type a mini essay after the craziness of Math today. What do you guys have learned about yourself during your HSC?
