Got my exam results back today and yesterday. Pleasantly surprised by some, not so pleasantly surprised by others.

 

English - 66%. Was hoping for slightly higher, this is around average for the year group. I'm rereading the paper and kicking myself for not spotting very obvious things.

Business - 78%. Argh could've gotten so much better. Taking into account I didn't take Business for the first 10 weeks of the term I did pretty well. Dat 6 mark question...

Maths - 72% asdfasdjfhaworaoie omg. Didn't expect anything above 60. It's also the first ever thing I've gotten above average for maths, not counting investigations.

Physics - Again, I thought I would fail this but 63%. Also the average for the entire year is 52%. Everyone who got over 60% was celebrating. Big accomplishment.

Economics - 76%. Expected.

Geography - 64%. Wut. I thought I did reasonably well but apparently not.

 

All you geniuses out there are probably laughing at my mediocre marks but everyone has different standards. What matters in the end is what I do in 5-10 years time, most likely further out.

 

Back to lovely, lovely school. *sigh*

If you keep comparing yourself to people you know are better than yourself, you are going to crush your own morale and as a result, not improve very much.

 

I always tell my students that the key goal is to perform to the full extent of their own capabilities. People can have a bad day and do poorly on an exam, but the trick is to be preparred and ready to take it. Anything beyond that is circumstancial and very dependant on the situation.

 

My advise to you is to look at your grades and ask yourself "What do I want to improve?" or "What can I improve?". For the next semester or school year, put specific goals and work dilligently to reach those goals. That is far more productive and easier than to set impossible standards and measure yourself against them. :P

Within 2 years of finishing HSC(NSW) the only thing that mattered was that I finished - not what the marks were.

Unless you have specific University courses or high level "trades" ( medicine etc) in mind & grades targets to earn entry, getting @ least above average as you are is plenty for the real world.

Besides, after you get a job, the education is not what matters the most eventually. The experience you have become far more important. :P

I thought it was the people you knew / slept with / had nude photos of.
