Does preliminary count towards HSC? (1 Viewer)

[hsphouse]

Does any (even a tiny bit) of preliminary results get counted for the HSC mark?
I hope not, i'm not doing well this year.

 

[glycerine]

no, not a single mark

 

[dark`secrets]

nope, yr 11 only provides the foundation for yr 12

 

[santaslayer]

No, but what you learn in prelim can be assessed in the HSC in some particular subjects. eg. Legal studies

 

[idan]

Do you ranks continue through?

 

[...]

nope

nothing counts..

 

[04er]

even though nothing counts i would recommend studying hard because your performance in preliminary gives a fairly good indication of that in year 12. Plus you'll take on a fair bit of studying techniques with you.

 

[04er]

It help you to work out what works and what doesn't for YOU. Theres no time in year 12 to do that. Start now i say!

but u cant have a massive burn out take it easy

 

[sweet surrender]

yeah in the prelim years one of my classmates coined the phrase 10% of nothin, 40% .... but all the concepts u learn in yr 11 r important for the hsc
especially maths

hmm it depends. in my school we have to pass prelim in order to do hsc.

 

[Kuya]

yup yupz. but i heard one person didnt pass prelim and still did hsc.. thats why i said that.

you cant really "fail" year 11. You can really only fail by not turning up to school. You can fail all the tests you want, just that you'll have a very bad self esteem.

I know plenty of people who failed nearly every year 11 paper - they dropped subjects - but still went on to do their HSC . If you are consistently failing though you either picked completely the wrong subjects or maybe the HSC just isn't for you

That so is me. I swear i'm only getting C's this year and stuff. HSC is definately not for me.

This girl at my school chose chem, physics, eco, mathematics, adv. eng and......I forgot her last subject....anyways.....in english and maths she had to go down a level cos she was failing all the assessment exams......she wanted to become a doctor......but she bummed out ALL of her half-yearly prelim exams.....so now she's left and doing something at TAFE....
