    Best Movie Series?

    Not sure if this counts as a movie series since there are only 2 films but Kill Bill is incredible. There is also news of Volume 3. Squee!!

    Soooo pissed

    I know the feeling. I haven't felt confident with any of my external exams but I've finished everything already so there's nothing I can do. Yes, the silly mistakes and misreading the question have absolutely destroyed the marks I could have potentially achieved but you never really know...

    What happens when you write in pencil?

    Seriously?!? Oh gosh..is there anything I can do? Like asking the supervisors to trace over it in pen or something? :S

    What happens when you write in pencil?

    I wrote in HB pencil for 3 of my exams and didn't get the chance to trace over it in pen as well as my school always stressing that diagrams must be in pencil. Would the scanner be able to detect it or would it not show up at all? I'm worried that I would get 0 for all those questions.

    What are you going to do the moment you finish your HSC ?

    I actually laughed out loud at my computer monitor when I read this.

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Definitely. Misreading the question and assuming it's 'easy' screws me over horribly.

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    I didn't think I did so badly in multiple choice. I think I got 5 or 6 wrong already judging from what everyone else got.

    Sections III, IV - Extended Response

    It sounds like people found this exam pretty easy though :S. I would have chosen finance but I couldn't think of any case studies.

    Sections III, IV - Extended Response

    I wasn't expecting those extended responses at all. From the specimen paper, it looked like it would be something along the lines of influences, processes or strategies for a certain topic area. Both questions were horrible for me and I ended up writing very little on the marketing one :(.

    Q16

    For 16.c)ii) Rearrange 4c=1+4r^2 c=1/4+r^2 r^2=c-1/4 r=(c-1/4)^2 If you take the square root of 1/4, you get 1/2 Since r>0 then c>1/2 I made silly mistakes everywhere else in the paper though and i didn't get 16.c)i)

    What are you going to do the moment you finish your HSC ?

    Go onto BOS and complain about all the answers I should have gotten. Then catch up on sleep, movies, tv shows, clean my desk, buy a formal dress etc.

    Tips from 2012 HSC students to 2013 students

    Sleep properly, read through your notes before you sleep, etc. I think getting your dot point summaries done should be your first priority. And the best advice I ever got was to have a functioning printer. It helped out HEAPS.

    1 week down another 3 to go......

    2 subjects down, three to go. Completely screwed up English and bio so hopefully I can make up for it next week :S. I'd hate to know I did badly in every HSC examination.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I was hoping for that as well :(.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Completely. I think they made it 5 because they needed it to add up to 100 and had to place a few extra marks somewhere. Throughout the question I just kept asking myself...why is it 5 marks? Is there some really big thing I'm missing?

    Did anyone else answer the wrong question?

    I don't see how it's cheating.. And it was my friend that did it and only so she could remember which page her question was on.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Did you relate it to evolution though? I think they would be generous enough to give you a few marks if you included variation somewhere.

    Section 1, Part B - Short Answer

    Same here! I was kind of stumped on the question :/.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Thank goodness. I thought I was completely wrong about mutations because my friends were going ...why would you talk about that?
