Did the first exam feel a little surreal to anyone? (1 Viewer)

Like all the hype of 13 years, just for another paper.

I didn't even feel conscious of the fact it was the HSC, just another examination paper in a long string of papers.

Did anyone feel this kind of detached way during it? It was quite bizarre.

Thats pretty normal I reckon - once you're in there you just kind of get into it to be honest. HSC never felt different to any other exams I have done.

yep i felt exactly the same, did'nt really realise it was the 'hsc' as there so much hype about

Yep, this; and I don't think my mindset will change much. Just another bunch of exams, putting in the best I can and hoping for good results.

Was the same feeling for me as well; as soon as reading time started, all the "HSC" hype went away and it became like any other exam (my bitch).

 

[lani22]

yeah exactly and i thought i'd be more stressed like i was for trials but i was pretty chill which was surprising

 

[SpiralFlex]

And the hype dies down...

 

[skyscraper]

Felt the same as every other english exam Ive sat lol. Only difference is i didnt have to wear uniform this time

 

[will_]

i was crazy

 

[wootwoot1234]

i was crazy

?

 

[slyhunter]

HSC never really hit me when I did it

 

[OneDirection13]

It did a bit..knowing that these exams will get marked by propers markers rather than my own teachers and the fact they were done in booklets which were a pain to have to put the info in

 

[Amleops]

Definitely an anti-climax. I felt more on edge during the Trials to be honest, now I guess I'm just over everything.

I was more concerned by the fact that our school started 20 minutes late and that I was going to miss my guitar lesson.......

today i was like holy shit, i'm actually going to do the HSC, i remember seeing the yr 12 students studying now i'm one of them.. in the exam for the first say 10 minutes i was a bit nervous, but after that i was in the zone. my hand was shaking when i was reading and it was all sweatty..

 

[madharris]

definitely, it just felt like a weird and strangely tiring day

 

[teganjoyy]

The whole thing doesn't seem real, I don't even remember sitting there and writing out my creative.

 

[forgot]

i have to agree, when i did the HSC i was full freaking out and nervous, especially after the trials and knowing this is the last time you would be doing this test and its worth 50%, but as you continue doing all your other exams you get into a routine and just get over the hype.

 

[Gary_Oak]

Nah, i didn't give a fuck, its was all okay

 

[TheOptimist]

After all the HSC is just another set of exams, through both our preliminary and HSC years we have been doing exams over and over again, what makes this exam any different (despite it's higher weighting)?

 

[mike12345678]

yeaa i agree it felt very surreal.

i remember when i had just started year 12 looking at the students doing HSC i was like i would be going crazy if i were them. now that im in their position im barely motivated to study.

and my hand was so sweaty aswell. i kept trying to dry it on my pants but it didnt work. the pen kept slipping haha
