But that’s like what many tutors charge. I think it’s usually between 60-90

You just have to build the mindset that anxiety will ruin your exam performance; the exam is not testing you on how much you feel but on what you can write. In the moment you really have to strip year 12 out of all of its weight and see it for what it is: you writing on a paper. Another thing I would do (totally up to you) is take St John's wort, which is an herb in a capsule that calms you down, this carried me through trials and HSC. Also, take walks, listen to music and exercise, it's a great way to burn off the stress. Good luck!

I feel like just letting go and going with the flow helped me. Also just reminding myself that there's many other ways to success in life and it doesn't have to be determined by the hsc. I mean its hard but that was the only way I could get rid of my anxiety

That all youre doing is writing on a piece of paper? I mean, not for me personally. In prelims I would be very nervous and underperform due to my anxiety, so in year 12 I made it very clear that in order to succeed, my brain must be clear. I've noticed every time I was anxious, my essays would be confusing and reflect the state of mind I was in.

Yeah that works too but it could also make you partially give up on what you want to achieve

no like the first part where u said "You just have to build the mindset that anxiety will ruin your exam performance;". Cause fixating on that will make u more anxious

But honestly for me I do better when I do 0 study than when I study so much and end up doing poorly cause of anxiety. My anxiety is so bad that even when I get a tiny bit stressed my whole world comes crashing down so I just need to try and stop caring as much as possible. But obv I will care so I'll still put in some effort but not stress too much

If that works for you, then go right ahead, I was just responding to pradhyumn's question

tutoring is a scam

 

[m_avi]

what is the price you all pay/would pay for 1 on 1 maths yr 12 tutoring? i am trying to get a consensus of the current pricing for tutoring

i go for adv and i pay $65 for someone who did ext 2 math. (i think i pay a discounted price though og was 75 bucks)

I go home, eat, shower then I start studying at around 5ish, then I eat dinner at like 7 and then after that I work until like 8:30. But honestly most of the time I only get like 1-2 hrs of work done

- bus home, arrive at around 3:50/4 pm
- Chill on my phone for like 10 min, then take a shower
- eat a full meal so like 4:45 to 5:30 ish (Sometimes i watch my tv shows lol)
- 5: 45 sit at my desk... try to get myself to do work
- continue sitting at my desk and be unproductive (me currently :3)
- eat dinner...depends on the day takes abt 30 min for me to finish eating (ranges from 7:30 - 9)
- actually get productive and finish my hw (this takes less time)

me on weekends
me as soon as the week starts

I actually hate the slump that I get into during the week cause on weekends I will be so happy, full of energy and then during the week I'll start falling into my anxiety and losing hope
