i got 16

 

[Chris_S]

Okay well I don't have enough then lol

leehuan you'll get those marks easily, stop doubting yourself

If you were able to get those amazing marks in accelerated 2 unit and 3 unit anything is possible

Kawaii aim higher for english and definitely go for a band 6 in chem and phys - You're contributions to the marathon threads are a testament to your potential

Meanwhile we have a certain accelerated 4U student...

Nah but that's mainly cause maths is my strength. I just gotta keep hoping and more importantly trying.

Guys a character's name in my creative is ISIS, should i change it?

I'd change it because you don't want to get flagged.

Guys what should I do, I already have all my essays memorised from trials and feel pretty well prepared for monday and tuesday, I feel like I should be studying heaps hard rn but I don't really see the need

Congratulate yourself on being prepared lol. Make sure they really are in your head and maybe write them out once, if you've already done them practice a past paper / question for each essay + do a discovery trial paper. Don't see the point in doing any more than that, spend some time on your next subject.

Yeah exactly. Say 5 years ago I would have instantly thought of the Egyptian Goddess if someone says Isis. As unfortunate as it is, I cannot see Isis without thinking of the terrorism group.

It might distract the markers.

would practising english short response questions now be beneficial or not?

Just look at the answers to get an idea on how to answer questions and what to write, how much etc.

This was actually a really good and accurate post on FB forum : With 2 days out from Paper 1, it is now more obvious than ever that English should not be compulsory. Which genius thought that people actually need what is taught in HSC English in actual society. It is just a load of useless literature that half the state memorises anyways, so nothing is actually learnt from it. If there was compulsory maths, people would complain because each person has different skills. Same deal with English. Just because it is our spoken language, the bullshit they are teaching us isn't meant to be everyone's forte. If they still want to keep it compulsory, at least make the syllabus such that it will benefit our English language skills, not bloody literature skills. Tech boys know the struggle

This sounds very familiar

And I'm not sure if this highlighted part is referencing my school or Sydney tech

I'm pretty sure that he'd be aware of his abilities in SA by now (Through half-yearlies and trials) so it's up to him
