I had 5 exams in 4 days yet I wasn't particularly phased by stress. I always feel mildly stressed waiting outside the hall waiting for the exam but that's normal. I think I only felt the pressure before the Advanced English Modules section.

Id say overall 5, during mathematics yesterday it would have been about 64-72/10 due to the fact i couldnt answer more than 10 marks with any confidence.

Yeah it varies for me, moving between about a 4 and a 10. The main thing that's stressing me out is not feeling as prepared as i thought i would be, and the constant sinking feeling that the past 13 years of my life are going to be a complete waste because i'm not going to get into the course i want anyway.

even though my exam timetable has been pretty shocking (english, sor1, english then maths, maths ext 1, french and then 2 week break for art) I am surprised how un-stressed i have been. HSC was never anything that seriously stressed me out but i thought during this time i would get a bit nervous but its all still pretty cruisy so i would say im at about a 1 atm :) :)

good luck everyone for their other exams!

Started off reasonably... maybe a 5 or something... Hamlet in the English Modules paper pushed things up to about a 7 (always despised that module), and then Ancient History the following Monday with little break bumped it up to an 8 or 9...

...now that Ancient History is done I'm hovering at around a 2 or 3 heh, only Extension English, Modern History (which'll probably bump it back up to maybe a 5) and then Visual Arts. The bigger hurdles have past, methinks.

Honestly im not feeling the stress, i think i'm almost as ready as possible, and hsc is ovverated...

Maybe about 2 or 3/10.

English gave me the most worries, but now modern/physics is left and thats just practicing writing skills i learnt in english :D

I was kind of nervous for paper 1 and paper 2 English....from there I was pretty chill about maths and IPT.

Just got economics and I.T to go and here I am planning out how I'm going to redecorate my room and what TV to buy.. life is friggen good for me right now... 4/10 stress level (I care about the exams but not overly worried).

However I'm sure the scale will rocket up to around 9-10/10 once the Atar's come out :(

No stress at all - not confident about any exams at all, but no stress!
Normally, I would be a wreck - nerves every morning, throwing up with worry - but for once - I am not bothered! Weird!?:monkey:

Exactly. There are people in selective schools crying over their math exam paper all in hopes of getting an ATAR over 99.. If they do get that ATAR, good on them - but they will never be able to cope with the demands of life and I feel sorry for them for that. At this age you need to be able to handle things without crying and becoming an emotional wreck..
