Leave religion out of the argument.
The fact that the HSC was easier for you is in no way an argument that it is easy for everyone.Honestly, HSC is easy and not lying, I didn't find it ridiculously hard when I did it.
Put simple, HSC is easy.
University is a lot hard and a much bigger workload.
Bottom line, this is harsh but get used to it.
Yeah lol sorry guys the HSC is nothing compared to uni have fun staying up till 2 am consistently. You think you'll have a life in uni but you won't. Sorry to break the news! But on a more optimistic point of view, if you're doing what you love, then it's good
If this really is your perspective, then something is wrong, regardless of your degree.Yeah lol sorry guys the HSC is nothing compared to uni have fun staying up till 2 am consistently.

Agreed. Only because I am not doing well in my subjects and I'm thinking why am I even doing this, I'm just passing most of my subjects.. This is making me complaining everyday and even I'm sick of myself complaining that I'm not going to do well. Pessimist right here.anyone else now saying "why do i even bother with this?"
this is me everyday....i cant be bothered for the hsc anymore!!!
this. Don't become one of those annoying cunts 'oh hsc was so easy, wait till uni'. Obviously uni is harder (you cover twice as much content as the HSC in 13 weeks - once you're behind, no catching up - well at least for me). But its a lot less stressful, there is no 'ATAR'.In retrospect, anything is easy once you have overcome the challenge.
You are on the same boat as maaaaany people (particularly people who ignored english throughout the year). I spent the last whole week before english exam just doing english, don't know how I got higher than 75. You'll be fine.english is depleting my motivation for HSC, because I feel there's no way I can do good in it. English will ultimately decide which uni I go.
that really depends, if you're trying to get HDs in everything (science adv) yeah probably. Most people don't care as much.Yeah lol sorry guys the HSC is nothing compared to uni have fun staying up till 2 am consistently. You think you'll have a life in uni but you won't.

I find that uni, even if the work is harder, is far less consuming than the HSC. (Though I guess it depends how you approach the HSC) I did lots of things outside of school in HSC, but the hype and hype on one number seemed way more consuming, I find at uni you are left to be independent and you just do your work and assessments along the way don't seem to have the same magnitude (yes I will be stressed for the final exams, but in the HSC I'd be stressed for 15% weighting tasks and I don't even bat an eyelid in comparison for uni).Yeah lol sorry guys the HSC is nothing compared to uni have fun staying up till 2 am consistently.

Not a good habit haha. The irony of your statement lol.AMEN everyday I come home from school and youtube shit which waste the entire ARVO....ahhahahhahahah but yeah pick up your game mate!
+1. Not to mention the peer pressure and the typical "If you don't do well in exams you'll become a toilet cleaner for the rest of your life" mentality that are just drilled into some of us by egoistical and harsh parenting.I think if I had a more comfortable commute to school, things would be a little different.
Not talking profound changes, but my lack of sleep is really annoying and I envy anyone who wakes up at 7:00AM or later, or comes home at 3:00PM.
Really, I think it is the hype of the HSC which stresses everyone out. If the HSC was not construed as the 'be-all end-all' as it often is, or "fail it and you are on the inevitable path to failure", I think more students would get themselves together and actually do well. It's just that little bit harder to work when stress and negativity surrounds all aspects of the HSC. When you're outside before an exam and talk to a few students, your stress level would most likely increase profoundly because everyone would be anxious and worried about what would happen to their rank, because they have bought into the misconception that failing an exam is failing their life.
Anyone that states what I'm saying is the minority, is the brimming demonstration of intellectual dishonesty. This site is considered an excellent representation of the state's students, yet post-half yearly exams, threads were made regarding "I screwed up my life" (to use the correct verbatim about it, anyway) or "Is it over?". That's why if one failed, or to put it in a more appropriate manner, did not achieve as they were hoping; they are demotivated and cannot work. They see no hope of improving, because they did so bad, and others did so well; "it is impossible to catch up, it is impossible to redeem myself". When one is to purchase a HSC 'success one' (or something to the effect of that - the one with past HSC questions), what's at the front? Students that attain state ranks in a particular subject, they are the representative of 'success'.
The teachers mentality which is forced upon the students, just serves to worsen the situation. When a teacher is reiterating the importance of scoring excellently in the HSC, or is talking about new study methods every week, the student becomes instinctively stressed. Or likewise with a meeting before exams, highlighting the importance of doing well. Heck, my coordinator said that a friend of his did not do well in the half yearlies, and ended up being a bricklayer. This is not just said, without having an effect on the students. I can just imagine what someone would have felt like if they failed numerous exams. It is like getting a car which is worth $1000, and reinforcing the price on a daily basis, that somehow it turns into $10,000, and that falsely becomes its believed monetary value.
I think doing well in the HSC is important, but it is not the decider of one's life. If it was, I'd be studying 24/7.
ExactlyGot to agree with some here, after half yearlies I have taken it relatively easy. Although this weekend has been a turn around and I'm now starting from here on to do plenty of quality study and work each day.
Also I don't think HSC work is technically 'hard' or that strenuous, what makes me hate the HSC is the ranking system; It's both a motivator and a means for depression. You do extremely well rank wise at one point and then you stuff up later on and suddenly you find yourself down the back end of a class or two... it does motivate me to work harder to fix this 'problem' but it truly plays havoc on my mind.
+1. It does not help, when parents (especially Asian) say "you will achieve nothing in life", when they base it on numbers only...;+1. Not to mention the peer pressure and the typical "If you don't do well in exams you'll become a toilet cleaner for the rest of your life" mentality that are just drilled into some of us by egoistical and harsh parenting.
