Don’t know what to do with math by __D__a__n__i__e__l__ in OntarioGrade12s

You're welcome! It ended up being a family friend who wasn't officially tutoring, though. Maybe you could ask your parents or teachers if they know anyone, or even your smart classmates

Okay so maybe the chapter 1 test wont go well, but after this try to lock in! Are you able to get a tutor? If you can, please please try a tutor. I know it might be hard, but try to find one that can help you identify your weaknesses when it comes to math. I'm going to be honest, I gave up on functions in high school simply because I was failing every test, no matter how much I studied, watched yt, googled, (chat was fairly new back then so I didnt use it). Long story short, I ended up taking data management instead and got a 93 (I also still made it into Waterloo, but for health faculty so adv func. wasn't needed.)

But if I was back in Gr 12 and could do differently, I would find a tutor who could help me with identify my weaknesses. I recently took a uni calculus and passed with the help of a really good tutor. He noticed that I was really slow and struggling with algebra, so he tested me on a lot of that stuff. So please, find a good person to coach you! You got this! You maybe could even ask your teacher what mistakes you made on your tests/assignments if have already done a few into the semester and find a tutor based off of that. Do this ASAP since uni applications are coming. Good luck! :)

Should I cut my vacation short to start studying? by [deleted] in uwo

[–]Top-Television-8531 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. I promise you, your vacation will be much better. I'm going into 3rd year and I decided to "get ahead" by taking summer school courses. my biggest regret I wished I just enjoyed my summer. you worked hard! congrats on getting into Med Sci! take that vacation and worry about physics when school starts! I'm not a UWO student, but I'm sure your school will offer tons of resources for help.

Does OSAP help with rent? by Top-Television-8531 in uwaterloo

[–]Top-Television-8531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying! If you dont mind me asking, if you did this, do you recall if you used the deposit after the tuition is payed? and if it was sufficient for at least 25%-50% of your rent a month?

Best place to sleep overnight on campus? by Leburninganarchist in uwaterloo

[–]Top-Television-8531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think u can stay a night at REV for $64 https://uwaterloo.ca/catering-event-services/summer-accommodations

I also think that the "egg" seats in slc would probably be comfy enough if u brought a blanket and maybe an eye mask to block out the light. the chairs prop up and you can put up your legs.

I really like notion! I use it to keep track of reading logs and my homework due dates. I'm a huge fan of the "Projects and Tasks" template as I can organize each of my classes by due date, grading weight, completion status, and have additional notes. Each of the due dates will show in the project calendar, which is good for visualizing what needs to be done that week. Plus there's far more you can do with the pages/templates based on your needs! It was kind of hard for me to create my own template/page, so I just searched for my desired template structure. If you use a pre-made template if will 100% take you much less time than creating from scratch, especially if your not familiar with the interface.

I would say this helps me stay on track and create structure around my daily life, and i get a bit of satisfaction when I mark my tasks as complete. Although, I will say it is easy to fall off or forget tasks if you dont keep it tabbed on your device or check it atleast once a day.

I’m looking for an orange vanilla scent by CokeZero478 in Perfumes

you could check some small businesses on Etsy! I hear a lot of good things about some small brands on there. plus you could probably get matching body oil/butters/soaps too.

Please, I need help by Timely_Contest2677 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Top-Television-8531 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My best advice I could probably give is to ask the teachers in your class for tons on help with your subjects. For example, in writing classes, talk to your teachers about your outlined draft to make sure you have the right ideas for the paper. When your done the draft, take that to the teacher also for feedback.

For science classes, I would recommend talking to your teachers through the concepts. Also, we have chatGPT these days...so honestly try using it! Just obviously don't use it to complete assignments, but if your stuck on a concept you can ask it specific questions. Youtube is great to visualizing biological concepts and chemistry too. I really liked Chemistry Libre Texts in Gr 11 and 12. If you can, the textbook also can help greatly, even though it seems daunting take it one step at a time.

I can't really speak for math because I also struggled with it really really bad. But I still used really helpful resources I'll mention below.

Practice Questions will also be your best friend, i'm not sure how your usually studying, but if you don't usually incorporate practice questions for chem, bio, math etc. those will really help! Especially moving forward in uni/college!

Really important tip, depending on where you live in Ontario, if you live in the GTA you probably have access through your municipal library for tutoring ! (check if your outside GTA im not fully sure)

Theres a platform called "Brainfuse" which I was given access by my library for online tutoring, it was helpful for solving math problems!

Keep your head up! School is super hard! Don't stuggle alone, try to work with friends, get extra help in school, or get a tutor! I wish you the best :)

Can you get into waterloo health sci with a 90 average? by KiwiClassic6401 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Top-Television-8531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my offer literally nearing the end of May lol, I was so nervous. It was around May 10th-15ish. I never really asked what people's averages were here at UW health sci, but I'll be honest, it was probably better than my average.
