• Notes

  • Organize later.
  • Classical was difficult, want to check the score.
  • For math and physics, it would be good to use symbols for marking answers.
  • English listening requires a sense of urgency as there is not much time for marking.
  • Use caffeine for English reading so as not to get sleepy.
    • It’s really long and it’s hard not to get sleepy.
  • Math is difficult.
    • I hope it’s because the question trends are different from IB.
    • Analyze the cause.
    • Chart is essential for countermeasures.
    • Also, practicing time management is important.
  • Ethics politics and economics, yesterday’s short-term memory helped.
  • Overall, there is a constant feeling that math and science are always consuming a small amount of translation resources.
    • Well, I just have to get used to it and solve past questions.

• Study plan for the next three days

  • Math and Physics
    • Let’s do measures for the uncovered areas as a way to kill time, since I have motivation.
    • Memorize formulas right before the test, like the night before.
    • Leave going through charts for later.
  • Chemistry
    • Assuming that the first half is somewhat manageable, focus on cramming inorganic and organic knowledge.
  • Japanese Language
    • Modern literature seems fine.
    • Since preparing for kanbun (classical Chinese literature) seems easier than kobun (classical Japanese literature), focus on kanbun and give up on kobun.
  • Ethics politics and economics
    • Expect to be able to solve political and economic questions to some extent with common sense.
    • So, focus on ethics and cram in information.
  • English
    • Should be fine, leave it as is.

• Strategy

  • Honestly, I don’t have the luxury to worry about it until the UC application.
  • After that, go full power for 5 days?
    • Based on the trends so far, I think progress is easier than with essays.
    • Actually, it’s supposed to be 3 days… lol
  • I have school and stuff, but it doesn’t matter.
    • Well, it depends on whether there are any benefits to going to school.
    • Well, I’ll go anyway.
  • It’s impossible to do everything, so let’s make choices.

• This is really bad.

  • I’m busy with the UC application.

• For now, the goals are

  • Setting short-term goals for Deadline Boost and cramming in information all at once.
  • I want to solve math past questions that I haven’t done because they’re a hassle.
  • Evaluating my abilities
    • I want to evaluate my abilities after improving my scores where I can improve by memorizing once.
  • Something obtained from the test at the test center
    • I don’t really understand, but I think there must be something to gain from taking it since everyone says it’s better to take it.
    • Some kind of unique tension?
      • They say you should take the test at the test center because you can feel the tension of the actual test? (kaya)
        • Is that really the case? (blu3mo)
      • Is it different from the SAT? (blu3mo)
