How is the class of 05 coping with the pressure of HSC (2 Viewers)

serious hsc is useless when u get to uni

 

[fakingtheday]

You seem to miss the point that the hsc is to fucking get into uni. Idiot. Of course its obsolete when you get there.

im sick of the teachers getting in 'motivational speakers' from last year in who got UAI's of 90-something to come in and talk to us. IT DOESNT MAKE ME FEEL MOTIVATED... if anything, it makes me want to give up. "blah blah blah study 5 hours a night blah blah blah" yeah well, some of us dont finish homework til midnight, stuff doin 5 hours of study after that! grrr they make me feel like crap

I know exactly what you mean. The teachers in my view put way too much emphasis on getting the top UAI of like 90+ and the best marks in everything!!!! Like HELLO they dont have to teach 6 subjects they've just got to focus on their subject & quite frankly I think they forget that students have a life & other comitments in life.
The best thing is to keep living your life and doing what you do, then fit the HSC around that. Not the other way around. After all HSC is not the be all & end all of life, there are lots of other ways to achieve your goals in life

. it is amazing but once ur done ur like, oh, i could do that again.....QUOTE]

yeh true but i wouldnt if you paid me

 

[_muse_]

its just bullshit, the hsc really should be spread over 2 years.. or even just 1 and a half.. because honesltly, how the hell can u remember an entire syllabus shitty thing in one year for 5/6/7 subjects AND do major works AND assignments AND study for 5 hours a night. it doesnt work. im sick of it and im just about to give up on the stupid fuckin thing

sorry if im whinging im jus in my little depressed PMS mood

I find that the more teachers and parents nag me to study, the less I do!

I only start studying if I have a short-term goal, or it's two nights before the assessment.
I don't think I'm coping, juggling work and study commitments isn't going well for me now but the problem is time management. Less procrastination and excuses, just do it.

Working hard for 10 months is better than slaving away behind checkouts and Centrelink offices, knowing you'll get out of it slightly buggered but alive anyway!

I have so many assessments that I really cant be fucked to list them all. Ignorance is bliss, that is, until you get a letter sent home =/

Also most of my conversations have atleast the words ''Study'', ''I failed'' or ''OMG im going to fail'' and ''HSC'' in it, the atmosphere is competitive and the students 24/7 PMS'y

that is bs hsc is alot harder than trial

uni is worse off

are you joking? i bombed the trial becuase it was so hard, the hsc was a hoax!

 

[champ_sammy_19]

I agree on that point

huh i dont get it

hilary duff clubbing

He's dissing your dilemma. Slog him one!! lol

 

[goan_crazy]

hmm well im sure every one else will disagree with me but there is not enough time to really do study notes at the moment. i just did all of my homework and tried as hard as i could with my assesments. and then in the holidays i did all of my study notes. worked for me coz i got 98 in the end. just see what works for you in the end

i think ill take that approach
thats what im doing at th moment
only assessments and homework pretty much
i cant understand how people can do 3 or 4 hours of study on top of this per night without depriving themselves of sleep...

 

[ameh]

i cant sleep less than 6 hours, i get this funny twitches in the eye-lids!

 

[tennille]

lol the major problem is sleep and the lack of i am getting of it

about 4 hours last night and probably about the same tonight, i do feel tho im up to date this way though

adam

You better be careful though. You really need to get some sleep.

What is going to happen when the HSC exams commence?

BTW, what are you aiming for in the HSC?

I tried summarising for chemistry. It worked for about 2 topics and then I gave up. I prefer to just study out of books and not write notes.

 

[AntiHyper]

Well im reasonably happy with my maths (88% non-assessable assessment task)
All the "Higher order thinking" classes i'm very comfortable with...

The only subject i'm doing bad is english. The lessons are too boring especially with my teacher who repeats the same question at least twice in 2 periods (waste of time)

hmmm....good study technique since it gave you a 98

I haven't even attempted summarising for chemistry (let alone any other subjects). I find studying out of books takes alot longer because there is a fair bit of unneccessary information you may try to learn!

Not doing enough work...... and having extremely dodgy teachers..... especially my bloody modern teacher..... she pisses me off so freaking much......

Yeah of course there are, just becuase we are a selective school doesn't mean that we get the best teachers, far from it..... there are plenty of dodgy teachers at my school who you can just hope to avoid them having you.......
