wouldn't call it an anticlimax

i'd call it we're fucking tired, and not stressed, but exhausted. even if we fucking complexcarbo load we'd still be lazy sods.

we'd prolly be most stressed at first assessments - but after that - it's been chilling
yeah that makes sense.
I was spewing for the first assessment week (that crap one thats like year 12/year 11 but not really :S) and then after that... stopped caring...
until just before eng aos... and now in the middle of them all.

Yeah I was really stressed before my first exam, but after I'd done a few, I haven't really been stressed.

So much less stressful. I go to a selective school and our exams are always set really hard, so this is rather nice. I've got 3U Maths tomorrow and I'm not even worried...

For some reason, I don't seem to get stressed that much anymore. Over this entire exam period, the only time I felt stressed was the night before English Paper 1. Now, I don't seem to care about anything.

You find it less stressful than expected because your state of mind gets used to going into an exam room for 2-3hrs.

You would be stressed as hell during STUVAC since you never sat the exam.

But after sitting 3-5 exams, you stress less, since your use to exam conditions

there's not much point to stress, if you're screwed, youre screwed, count your losses or work on it to make it better. if youre not screwed then whats the point stressing?
uai is just a number.

then again i dont want to make mega bucks as a doctor/lawyer/businessman.

muso ftw...

I've only done 3 of my exams...5 left...only one I stressed for was legal. I am not stressing at all, which is creepy. I do care, I care alot about getting into uni. But...I just don't see the point in stressing. Waste of time.

I've done 6/7 of my exams.

I was so relax for the first 3, then for some reason I've started to stress out for the last few.

yeh i was way more stressed for trials!
i was kinda nervous for english, got over it by the second, had a massive cry last week, and now this week i have 4 tests and i feel like i'm just cruising a bit!
argh its crazy...
i also agree with the person who says its because we're all exhausted!

agree 100%. i was so pumped to study hard for the 5-6 weeks leading into the exams, and all i did was sit there and stare at my page for 7hrs a day!
but im not stressed, until the night before each exam when i realise how little knowledge i have!

I freaked out for my trials but I haven't at all for the HSC. I am bored of the HSC, sick of studying, just want to have some fun.

I wasn't worried at all before my exams until the last night leading up to each and then 15' before them. After that: sobbed, screamed, slept, refreshed.

Well, nothing I can do now. Just prepare to nail Chem. That's it. Feeling pretty good. At least I can start studying French, playing sports, picking up astrology and listening to music. Gosh, the best time ever is post-HSC holiday... until 17th Dec. Then it will all be hell.
