How are 07's finding prelim? (5 Viewers)

i think that year 11 is like a BIG U turn in school ,,when the workload starts to pile up, it like a WAKE UP CALL !!
Year 10 and the other years was nothin much ..until u reach the senior years

That's the crap thing about the NSW education system. Yrs 7-10 is honestly nothing difficult (like when everyone got that huge surprise after discovering that the SC was the easiest shit ever) while years 11 and to a larger extent 12 are 20 times harder in comparison. They let you dip your feet in the shallow end for four years and BAM they chuck you in the deep end with no goddamn floaties. It's criminal.

yeah and the scary thing is that the hsc papers contain year 11 stuff too.
like, i had a look at past hsc papers in maths and they're only 3 pages long, but the first few parts is all prelim contents.

Preliminary stuff is assumed knowledge. As in, you shouldn't understand year 12 without understand the basics...ie: year 11. So for most subjects year 11 is definately in there but it's represented as the basics to the harder concept learnt in yr 12. For eg: moles in chemistry. In year 11 you start learning how to calculate moles but in year 12 nearly every calculation you make involves moles but the calculation itself is harder.

In maths, the first question is nearly all year 11 stuff and alot of the other questions have yr 11 assumed knowledge questions. So remember in year 11 that you shouldn't burn yourself out and stress out too much but make sure you understand the key concepts because they will almost certainly be used again in year 12.

30% of the maths syllabus can be examined in the HSC exams. For the other subjects, nothing in the preliminary course is examined. However, you will need some knowledge and understanding of certain concepts from the course though.

Yeah, that's pretty much only for maths.

like my eng teacher says yr 11 is a quantum leap from yr 10. Ha no shit !

 

[Go the gunners!]

yeahh... year 11 is hard.. such a steep learning curve from year 10
there just so much more homework, assessments and assignments.. and the pressures starting to build up for the hsc
well... thats me anyway...

Totally agree... everyone puts pressure on us to get the top marks for the hsc even though for some thats not possible. Went from doing nothing in yr 10 to staying up all night doing homework and assignments

Once you get used to extra work, yr 11 isnt that bad

Prelims wasn't that hard IMO. its just the workload and pressure that makes it hard.

see ? they share my opinion ...

heres a scary fact,
a LOT of students dont remember some basic principles that form the foundation and base of senior subjects ... from rumors, I hear past HSC students go "I wish I paied attention in Year 7" or something similar

I never studied till year 11. As long as you put in the effort throughout the year, all your skills will improve significantly.

I don't really know your situation. Help me out. =)
