Hey. Don't worry, I found it really challenging. I did 2006's HSC and 2005's the other day and I could actually complete the whole tests with around 90% (factoring in mistakes, etc), which is a really great mark for me. But today I just found it so difficult compared to what I've done. Supposedly our trials were meant to be harder than the HSC, but this was much more difficult.js5071 said:i thought that it was hard and im really disappointed cos ive worked so hard there was a lot of questions that i knew i was just getting riduclous anwers so i had to do them repetedly and 3 hours wasnt enough
was kind hoping people would say it was hard
As many people will inevitably say (yes, I am a hypocrite) - concentrate your energies on the next exam.samosbo said:Hey. Don't worry, I found it really challenging.

Anyway, I won't complain as I guess I should have expected it to be a lot harder than previous years. It's still just disappointing I guess…

My thoughts are similar. I've been doing well in the past papers (which I've done 20+ of), with 105-110 and with plenty of time to spare. For some reason in this one, I felt rushed. I think it's because it's my first HSC exam and I was slower to try and be careful and neat. Just remember that in an exam it is ALWAYS easier to remember what you couldn't do/did wrong than all the ones you did right. This is because the harder ones involve much thought and stay in your memory. You probably did quite well.js5071 said:i thought that it was hard and im really disappointed cos ive worked so hard there was a lot of questions that i knew i was just getting riduclous anwers so i had to do them repetedly and 3 hours wasnt enough

You're allowed toFish Sauce said:I disagree
Haha, true, true.airbag said:You're allowed to
Forums are wonderful places
And it probably would have been more accurate for me to say that people who get tutoring are assured of good marks. Which pisses me off, because I can't afford tutoring neither chronologically nor fiscally.rofl: I had to, sorry)
