re: Preliminary Yearlies Discussion Thread

I'm nearly finished with exams, majority of mine were crammed into one week... I only got one day rest last week and I was studying hardout for Modern and when I actually did the exam I realised I didn't even need to study for it as much as I did. I could have been working on other subjects... ugh -.-

So anyway! I have Legal on Tuesday and I'm not looking forward to it. Our legal department is kind of... incompetent... so I fear how they've written out the exam.

re: Preliminary Yearlies Discussion Thread

Our starts on the thursday of week 9 and goes into week 10 thats pretty good. Started studying but seeing people say that these marks go to nothing makes me feel abit better :L

Can you guys tell me something? Im a pretty smart kid probably in the top 3 in my school and i work hard but stupid subject selections and a doing stupid things out of school with mates kinda screws me up. Can you tell me what RTAR is possible with these subjects?

1) Standard English (Stupid selection, coming 1st in year, teacher said i should have chose advanced.
2) Mathematics (2U)
3) Business Studies
4) Information Technology
5) Visual Art
6) Multimedia

Multimedia recently got changed to category A, another question, what would be better to drop? Multimedia is really fucked and i hate it but i get slightly higher marks and i believe it has better scaling than Art? Where in Art i really really enjoy. Thanks if reply.

drop neither, or drop Multimedia, do thinks you enjoy in the HSC, trust me it makes a difference.

If you're top 3 in your school ,depending on its school rank, 95+ might be possible.

re: Preliminary Yearlies Discussion Thread

rahh.
rahhhhh.

This weekend just isn't my weekend.
English Extension tomorrow, Don't know what's in it.
Should probably find out. lol;

Tuesday is Society & Culture, which is nothing to worry about at all, but then Japanese is on thursday.

oh god.

Also found out, to my great discomfort, that chemistry is a pre-req of Adv. Science, and especially Neuroscience.
Meaning either a) I do a bridging course, or b) do chemistry for HSC.
Like, I know for a fact that last 2Us of either S&C or Chemistry won't count. I'm too strong in maths/jap/english, but... still?
I dunno what to do.
I'm absolutely horrendous at chemistry, but maybe it's because I just have no interest.
maybe it's my teacher.
I dunno.

hmm.. a lot of thinking to do.

good luck everyone starting/finishing yearlies this week, and screw you everyone who has finished.

you lucky people.

re: Preliminary Yearlies Discussion Thread

How the frig do I study for Advanced English.

heh, it's just an 80min exam anyway. 2 Questions at 40mins each and about 4-5 pages each.

I suppose I could maybe memorize some quotes, themes and techniques. But that requires effort, and effort requires energy.
