I completely lose my appetite around exam periods due to stress, and it's so bad because I cannot concentrate without the energy. I haven't pooed in 2 weeks lmao, I've lost about 10kg and it fucking sucks because I can't even walk up the stairs without fucking running out of breath. It pays off...

I'm feeling good about paper 1, have done a practice essay to basically all the possibilities I can think of. Paper 2, on the other hand, has been a bit more complex. I know my texts super well, and have done a ton of practice essays over the past month or so, but still am not that confident. My...

Just get to the library when it opens ahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doing about 6-8 hours per day. Aiming for 97, but would be happy with anything over 95, although I feel like I'd be lucky to get even 90 at the rate I'm going rn ahaha. Slacked off way too much after trials Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The school obviously won't give it to you, but, if you know the weighting of each internal assessment, then you can plug your marks into a weighted calculator accordingly, which will give you your cumulative mark. Ultimately your mark doesn't matter due to the moderation process though :) Sent...

Our school doesn't do ATAR predictions but where in the ballpark am I looking at with these marks/ranks? I was ranked in top 4 at half yearlies, but I bombed out of 2 of my trials which dragged them down quite a bit. I lost my 1st rank in eco, but I'm hoping I can ace externals to bring my...

I'm really disappointed. Fluked two exams even though I studied my ass off for them. I had never gotten marks below 85 in year 12 until the trials. Cost my 1st ranking in eco ugh. 92% - English Advanced (91 in P1, 92 in P2) 72% - Maths 96% - Legal 79% - Economics 95% - Multimedia Sent...

No, you'll always get your external mark, but assuming you come first, your mark will be averaged out with whoever comes 2nd externally (which is likely to be the person coming 1st in this case). So yes, rank 1 will get your mark as their "internal mark", but it will only constitute 50% of their...

Dude, I would suggest holding out in Advanced, because your mark isn't irrevocable. If your school is anything like mine, literally 99% of the standard cohort have little to no regard for school, and this will significantly pull you down if you aren't at the top, especially considering they give...

If you smash your HSC, you'll still get whatever mark you achieve and this will be reflective of the apparent awesomeness of your essays. However, this will also be averaged out with whoever ranks the same as your internals in the externals. So, you might have to work a bit harder to offset a...

After maintaining marks over 85 for the whole year across all subjects, I completely bombed my trial exams. Hard. My handwriting was literally criticised on every trial exam I got back, and it was so bad that I had to verbally present my Mod C and creative to the marker since she could not read...

Yup, he went to my school and we're ranked 140-170 ish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey. I haven't graduated, but I have a lot of friends who have. One of them had an internal mark (reported mark in school report, NOT moderated mark) of 70 in English Advanced, then got 91 as a final HSC mark. They had a very strong cohort though, 90% of them got either a Band 5 or 6 Sent from...
