how did you cope with yr 12?

Oh! YEAR twelve! I thought you meant you were twelve years old! Because 6th grade was great for me! I'm having the same problem with finals coming up and not studying, and I'm only in 8th grade. We have 8 real school days left, but 9 days that we have to show up. I have a MAJOR test in science, a pretty big one in Language Arts, a sizable one in History, and probably another one in Math. I didn't do any homework last night (I fell asleep at 6 and slept for 12 hours) which means I'll have to do it tonight. But I'm busy tonight. It's just how life is. But I know I'll get it done because I always get it done. I've never not turned an assignment in. So, you just have to DO it, really. I don't know what it's like to be graduating high school, but it's probably a lot more stressful than graduating middle school. Just try and graduate with the best grades possible, it will REALLY help in the long run, trust me. I've seen my brother graduate with not so good grades and not know what to do with his life, and I've seen my other brother get fantastic grades and go places. But whatever happens, good luck! I'm sorry my answer really didn't help, I just woke up and I'm bored.

honestly you need to separte all your work into loads. And each day tackle certain pieces. I quit in year 11 and now paying for it i have to do night school to get my qualifications as well as work. if you think you have to much work speak to your tutor and explain you feel stressed from the ammount of course work maybe drop a class. Honestly your better dropping a class than doing what i do now at 23, work all day and go to night school till 9pm to be up at 6am.
