I got one for my birthday :D Im left handed so I can't write on those screwed up little tables at uni.

I don't find the words hard, but I have a science teacher who doesn't understand them and we subsequently lose marks for her stupidity :rolleyes:

ahhh thats why. Yeah I knew there was some reason it wasn't fair.

If you were ranked first, you would need to get 80-89. However, it depends on how the others are doing. It is not so much your raw assessment mark that matters as your rank. Your raw assessment mark virtually gets thrown out the window, it was only to get your rank. However, it does not sound...

I was told it was NOT done like this, and thats why it is unfair and inaccurate.

Yes exactly.

Yes such is the importance of doing well all year not just picking up ypur act around exam times.

They don't do the whole of the state, only the top 120 (or maybe 150 Im not sure??)

yeah the HSC will not ask something specific like that. You can almost go in there with a prepared answer. It will either by about how the law reflects culture, values and ethics, or how effective it is in addressing problems.

I bought one today, its quite good, not much different to an excel book though. I think Im gunna try and find the modern one too. And theres these cool online tests they give you the password for. Pretty nifty.

Yeah I don't think Im going to need that much help, I don't fond any of my work hard its just cramming it into my head....I have a memory like a sieve. Call me fishy.

Is Sydney Boys Private? I just assumed they were public!!

All my teachers are a phone call or email away.

I had my first major freak out this year in one of my trials. I knew that I wasn't prepared enough and a first ranking was on the line so it stressed me out more. I got into the exam room, read the exam and absolutley freaked out at the essays I knew I wasn't prepared for. I did the beginning...

I got this during the year.....believe it or not it is actually a pyschological thing, you're not tired at all you just don't wanna do it. To overcome it I started excercising before sitting down to study--go for a 30 min walk or jog (whichever you can do without having a heart attack!) and then...

Im sticking to one subject per day, so I can devote a lot of time to each. Today is English paper 2....hence why Im on here cos its so boring!!!

Hehe thats funny. Alcohol (Coronas or red wine usually) is good for male teachers, just be sure they drink cos otherwise its kinda a waste.

Hmmm theres an echo in here hehe

Yeah being a slow writer is a pretty piss poor excuse for special provisions. We would all like to be able tro write faster, and we practice. Its the only way to improve. And there isn't enough time to worry about handwriting in the HSC. Unless is to so horrendous that it genuinely can't be...

they do't give you a laptop in the HSC, its a word processor with the memory cleared.
