Yeah it's probably ideal replicating examination conditions. When doing a past paper, if you finish before 3 hours elapse, do you continue checking until time is over? Or begin marking?

Worst: Chemistry >____< Best: Probably Biology

~4-5

Alright, thanks everyone. Guess I've got a bit of memorising to do.

I'm never going to feel prepared for the HSC. Last week went pretty quickly though =/

Yeah whenever I do open book, it doesn't feel very effective because I'm just copying.

Is it wiser to memorise it and then attempt past papers? Or do an open-book test with past papers? Thanks

I have no choice but to study at night considering how much of the day I sleep through -_-

...Is their marking worthwhile?

I write about 6 pages and my teachers complain that it's not enough (Also it's not very legible >_<)

Is it recommended that I study/memorise quotes from each of these speeches? Or will going into the examination with maybe 4 prepared be better? I have not written notes on any of the speeches set for study yet, and was just wondering if I would survive if I didn't prepare all of them. Thank you.

Obviously ecstatic...But I can't help feeling a tinge of sadness (HAHA never thought I'd say this). I must say, officially finishing school is anti-climactic.

Still need to finish my Maths, Chemistry and Modern notes >_> FML why did I leave it to the last minute? After that, I'm just going to do past papers and re-draft my English essays

- Going to a concert - Travel - Get part time job - Take up a hobby - Get my drivers license :P

I see :) I think I'll focus more on the areas you mentioned considering using "big" words doesn't feel natural to me

What about the introduction? Do you directly restate the question or is it advisable not to?

Ambivalent. While I'm very excited to finish High School, I'm also a bit sad about it. Except I'm soooooo looking forward to sleeping in after the HSC.

Did you ever write with big words? Or just supplement your arguments with relevant details etc?

That's my problem I suppose. I find that when I consciously try to write with sophistication, my thoughts are not clearly conveyed. (It just doesn't come naturally to me)

Whenever I write an essay for any humanities (English, Modern History etc) I always get comments from the teachers advising that I attempt to sound more sophisticated in my response. I've always gotten the comment that my essays are too simplistic in word choice etc, and I was just wondering...
