Can you scare me into studying for my mock and level 2 exams? I really need it rn. Don’t hold back

Hi guys, just wondering what subjects to pick for next year Level 2. Right now i'm in NZ and want to go to Australia for Uni to major in Vet, what subjects are most recommended. So far i've decided on calculus (lvl3), english, chemistry, bio, physics and i'm not sure about the last subject, but I was thinking of doing history. However I do want a subject thats chiller compared to the rest.

Just wondering how realistic is it to achieve Excellence in all three NCEA Level 3 Physics externals? If triple Excellence isn’t a realistic expectation, which two standards would be the most feasible to achieve Excellence in out of Waves, Mechanics, and Electricity, and why?

Hi, is anyone else stressed for externals because I'm so done this whole year has been a whole mess for me and this holiday flew by so fast and I bascially just wasted the entire 14 days doing nothing. After mocks I just have no energy to study for anything because everytime I try it just doesn't work the way I expect it to be. I don't know what to do anymore like all I wanna do is just dissapear because what the fuck this year all i've experienced is downs and there was nothing good. Not to mention about the fact that everyone is just such a bitch to me at school including my teachers and deans literally draining my mental health and all I want is to fly off to another country or just fucking dissapear. They're so unreasonable and literally the worst people I've met. So fucking unsupportive and my deans had the audacity to say they felt like they didn't need to check on me because I'm just too negative. Well if you had done your job and tooik that matter seriously then this would've been resolved long ago. This whole year I've been going in and out of the councellors and they're so useless literally I wanted to . about 20 times this whoele fucking year and my grades fell OFF so bad I just don't even know what to do anymore. My mock exams were so fucking horrid everything was not up to par and I actually studied a lot for some subjects that I barely made any improvemens compared to my topic tests in term 1. I feel like i'm gonna do so bad on externals and that will literally be my breaking point. I fucking hate my life. My internals is all so bad I don't know what happened but I'm just fucking done with everything all I got was the worst grades compared to everyone else. All my friends studied at least like 10 hours+ per day this holiday and I barely scraped by 2 hours with full focus. I think whatevers going on its not just my mental health like i physically feel like i'm dying everyday and it's so hard to drag myself out of bed. Then I still have to force myself to study because I'm already so behind on every subject. The subejcts I used to be good at I compeltely fell off. I kinda distanced myself from everyone I knew irl this holiday tho because I just had no energy at all to talk to them im just so dissapointed in myself because I could have never imagined this year turning out like this.

Sorry for venting.

Hi guys! I have been practicing Section A for Scholarship English and it is wiping me out. I have never actually done an unfamiliar texts exam before as our school for some reason removed that standard...

PLEASE if anyone has any tips, tricks, or techniques, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

Also, sometimes when I read the texts, my interpretations can be extremely abstract – insofar as they go far beyond what the author intended. This is genuinely an unintentional propensity, but I am unsure of how to condense my interpretation. What am I supposed to be looking for, and how do I explain it effectively?

Thank you so much! :)

For my short text I used Mitskis song “a burning hill” to reflect on how my anger towards a certain person and relying on them getting justice for me to move on lead to exhaustion. I think it’s pretty good but it does revolve around my experience of sexual assault. I never explicitly say I was sa’d I just pretty much say “this person hurt me and the unresolved anger I felt was pointless”.

Is it too personal? I don’t know if it seems like I’m trying to get pity points or anything. I was told to be more personal with my texts, so I’m not sure if this is inappropriate for school. I didn’t focus too much on the experience, more so the unresolved anger and later in my response I talk about learning to move on despite not getting the outcome I wanted.

who's the smartest person you know that didnt get into medical school/healthsci first year? or failed healthsci first year and coudlnt get into medical school? im trying to motivate myeslf lol

Hi guys ive been wondering if it'd be alright to choose stats or chem if i would major in art in the university (graphic design i suppose). After deep talking with my art teachers they said its totally alright to not take any of those but somewhat im still nervous cuz obviously this will matter to me alot next year. Instead taking stats I'm thinking about taking media studies. Oh yeah forgot to mention I'll be taking painting, design, art history, English, stats and chem next year

Hey guys, so I'm currently a Y11 student going into Y12 in 2027, and I want to get into an Australia university (specifically melb JD law program with a philosophy undergrad). I just want to know that if I take 5 english rich subjects (english extension, history extension, classics, media studies) and stats, am I going to be unemployed in the future if I don't become a lawyer? I chose these subjects because I'm pretty good at english so I thought it would guarantee a lot of E credits so I would have a high ATAR for melb uni, but what if I don't get into it? Are there ANY career pathways that pay well for a student with these options? (no sciences am i cooked)

I have done level 3 Te Kura this year but I still havent done any credits this year (I have 30 credits from last year, bartending etc at level 3). I was born Dec 2008, is there any chance that I can do Te Kura again next year?

My Kaimanaaki has been really amazing at understanding my bad health issues and I am just wondering if I will still be able to get in next year? And what the process is? At 0 cost as well?

Thank you anyone in advance

Hi, anyone else's mind like gone blank for L2 bio after mocks?? I did okay on mocks (doing cells and genetic variation) but after a few weeks off even though I've been going over most of the topics I just feel so bad at it compared to before mocks. Don't know if this makes sense😭😂but hopefully someone understands 🫠thanks team!!!

Hi guys, I just got my DGE results back for level 2 social studies and I got not achieved which I'm pretty bummed about and I got limited feedback from my teacher. I will talk to her more about it when school starts again but does anyone who passed have some tips and tricks? I swear I have been studying and paying attention in class but it just isn't clicking for me. Anything is helpful
