I didn't but I did finish with about 15 minutes to go and I was going slowly. Over half the people in my exam left early though :S

Haha, there's about 20 people in my class, so naturally there was about 18 in the exam to begin with, and at the 1 hour, five minute mark there was exactly 4 remaining. I used the whole time.

(did I mention that I go to a VERY elite school?)

only one person in our class (of 7) left early...i think its mainly cos our teacher was waitin outside the hall the whole time ready to annoy anyone who left early.
n we share our hall with this other scool we hate n all their ppl bar one left early..kinda made me feel good...

I go to a selective school and I don't think in the whole history of the HSC anybody has actually left early... There's no way I could walk out of an exam - what if you thought about something you could have written two minutes later?!

At our school we are told that you can't leave in the first hour of last 30 minutes.


I don;t think anyone has ever left an exam early this year at my school.

There's about 11 in my class and only 3 made it to the end. We all finished with about 5-10 minutes to spare though, so we just filled out centre numbers and student id fields.

There were 6 people left from about thirty at my school, but that was generally to be expected I think.... I worked for the full three hours... I needed it

It was like the exodus, and the 1 hour mark was Moses. Seriously.

There are around 40 people that do ancient in my year and there was less than 10 by the end of it. I finished 15 minutes before the end so I spent that time writing my student and center numbers on every single fucking page... I hate doing that.

My best friend was the first to leave at 11 o'clock. She knew literally nothing for the Greek world so spent her time drawing a map of Greece and wrote 3 pages on a completely different dot point.

I finished with about 40mins to go, so I went to the loo and cleared my head, then came back and remembered another 2pages worth. In our class of 13, one guy left after an hour, and by the time I made my loo trip, there was 5 of us left. I finished short answers in like 20minutes, and was happy with my responses too, so I think timing was what made me finish so early. Ext. Eng. yesterday made me write super fast to get maximum response in, so I don't think I adjusted very well. Will be sweet for modern on thursday though :D
