also update - i spoke to my school and my trial exam extra time has being increased back to 5 minutes per 30 minutes. they initially put it down to 2.5 bcuz thats what they applied for with nesa (idk why), but i told them im really struggling so theyre increasing it to 5 for trials.

im going to use earplugs for my trial exam bcuz im doing individual supervision in a classroom, and last year for prelims i was in that room and it was noisy as fuck. i think its too late to apply for provisions for that in hsc though : ( ,though hopefully it can be added as an appeal ?

are earplugs allowed for everyone coz that's such a good idea I'm gonna be sitting trials near the rest of the school who are noisy af

Why do I have english on Monday and Tuesday and then modern on Wednesday :|
at least you're getting all the very writing heavy subjects out of the way, it will feel a lot more relieving in the long run

also the exams for modern and english go by really quick since you have to write so much

i feel like nesa should allow them for every student though as long theyre foam yellow ear plugs. like to prevent cheating the school should have to buy a sealed box of those 200 pack ear buds so that no one can sneak in an ear bud or whatever. its very slightly unfair with distractions, bcuz some schools have 200 kids and theyre able to get them to fuck off away from the exam room, whereas other schools have 1200 kids who are all little shits who will still dick around next to the hall and there arent enough teachers to wrangle them.

I use builders headphones bc earplugs mean I can hear my breathing and my heartbeat and that stresses me out.


do you get rest breaks as well? i get those, but they wouldn't allow me to get extra time bc I can read/write too well which is annoying bc I need extra time for maths

how did you qualify for extra time - as in like what did you send to them/ show nesa? nesa is so annoying about extra time i have legit never finished an exam and they still won't give me extra time
