really? Because that's the only thing ik so far in business. I memorised every single dot point, but content-wise I'm cooked

Anyone else locking in for Ext History? idk how else to prepare other than just going over and memorising examples, worked well for the trials so I'm just hoping its a nice question

well like go over the not so common sense stuff that they can ask (most of which are in finance) eg, make sure you actually know what a timing issue is in financial reports and why it is a limitation, id say go over the sources of finance too, especially the equity stuff, probably have a look at hedging and deriviatives too, i feel like most of the other things are quite straight forward

maybe just print out your syllabus and highlight words you don't know the meaning of and make a new summary sheet with JUST those definitions and examples, it'll stick better once you filter out the reptitive content you already know

Is investigating science good? I would have done it but our school doesn't offer it, unfortunately. Also, compressed curriculum sounds so cool!

How bad can your handwriting be to still get a band 6. if they can't read it do they just mark the bits they can read and not bother? All my responses are very hard to read and I'm scared imma get really bad marks as a result.
@jimmysmith560

My understanding is that every effort is made by markers to read potentially illegible student responses. Markers will ignore illegible parts when they have determined that every effort was made to read them but failed, and they will focus on marking the legible parts.

With that being said, it would be reasonable to assume that NESA has substantial experience in terms of student handwriting, so the chances of markers failing to understand your handwriting may be lower than you think.

It’s year 10 science on steroids like a mix of content on different scientists and lots of data analysis
It was pretty good like I am English heavy so it was my break subject lol

Yeah I don’t even know if what I wrote was vaguely right

but our teacher saw us after and said there’s many ways to get marks lol

i personally really enjoy it even if it's not my strongest subject, but also i'm really into the idea of research and stuff (thinking about it as a future career path) so some of the content in investigating really aligns with that.

compressed curriculum has been a godsend with my sanity during hsc season... it's fast paced but also i'm very lucky i've only had to study for 3 exams this year. i can see why people love it and also why people would hate it

 

[bbmiffy]

is it just me who feels so bored when sitting my exams? im too understimulated to even be nervous, i waste time counting the bricks on the walls and im not even stressed about it hekp this is not supposed to be happening

i am hoping the markers are nice and can comprehend some of the absolute reaches i made in that exam enough that i can scrape some marks together i basically just yapped about how the experiment was partially invalid because it focused on water while helmont focused on soil....the things my exam brain have managed to cook up continues to surprise me
