What do you think of the HSC? (3 Viewers)

[spence]

Not every single education system has the basis of assessments and exams. By the logic that some people are "better at exams", imagine if you only had to do exams at the end of the term, you'd have the whole term to practice writing exams instead of spending your time doing assessments....like the old system...if people are bad/better at exams well I don't beleive that is purely by chance, obv if you prepare heaps you will write better exams.

However, the Uni prep is a good point

Do you honestly think being judged solely on exams is a fair and reasonable method of assessment?

HSC tests you persistence, hardwork, patience, and somewhat talent for 2 years.
if you cop with this contineously for two years, then HSC is the easiest thing ever.

2 years? maybe in some subjects yr 11 work is also assessed in yr 12 but otherwise? it's more the skills and knowledge foundation eg in English.
imo as the HSC is so "important" they should give us more time to do less work than less time to do much more.

Agreed, but it certainly didn't seem that way at the time, no matter how many people told me otherwise.

This is true.

Learn to win, guys.

the HSC tests your persistence, hardwork, patience, and talent (to some extent) for 2 years.
if you cope with this continuously for two years, then the HSC is the easiest thing ever.

your talents lie in science and mathematics, surely.

 

[Freddie09]

it is easy if you apply yourself and/or have the brain for it.... i obviously don't do/have either of these things lol
