Its been getting real weird lately, for exams like chem and x1 math i was extremely confident and went in with the feeling that i was going to ace it, then when i am in the exam i am like omfg wtf this is gay, then i start panicing and fuck the exam even more :S. Then come out and feel like i am going to get 70% :S

Really pissed, i cant believe how hard x1 was too, it was harder then x2 imo, and i didnt study 1/10 as much as i did for x2 (not that i study much but thats not the point)

Hope i ace software tho :mad1:

any 1 else been getting this feeling?

Not really. I knew maths was going to be hard, english and business were surprisingly easy. I'm expecting it to happen in ancient or legal though... just because they're my best subjects, so if they're hard, I'll panic.

If I'm unprepared for an exam, I do all the stressing and cries of "OMG, I'm going to fail" before I go to sleep, but on the morning of the exam - I am always surprisingly calm and even more once I've started the exam. :) I haven't properly studied for any of my exams. lol. I hope I do reasonably well. :eek:

I don't see the point in being stressed out once you're in the exam. There's not much you can do about it and it really is all our own fault for not being prepared. Bitching and crying about failing before an exam only depresses people. :(

One of the girls got to take a 5 minute break during our modern history exam though, because she was feeling really "nervous and unfocused". LOL I didn't even know what I was writing about. :eek:

I didn't like english paper 1 at first, but once you start writing, it's all cool.
English paper 2, laughed all the way through it because it was easy.

Well our maths teacher set us the hardest trials imaginable, and assured us of that, so after doing them, I knew that HSC would be much easier, and I was prepared, and it most certainly was so..... I was happy there.

Computers.....goes without saying. When I'm doing a computer exam, it's like I'm playing broodwar against a n00b.

I've panicked for Business Studies and Maths. Once I got into the exam room, I was eerily calm, but stayed until the end and by the time I left the exam room my friends and I were all frazzled and crap. Eh.

Won't be panicking for EE1 tomorrow, though - I'll just want to get it over with so I can SLEEP!!! :mad1:

DUDE , i felt EXACTLY the same as you did , with THOSE exams too !
i thought i`d do well in friggen MX1 , but the paper this year was upped so much , ffs. MX2 shitted me too , but i`d honestly say parts of it were more doable than MX1.
chem , yeah i agree. walked in confident and walked out leaving out like 10 marks =.=" bloody hell.

I've been surprised by how much easier the exams are, than what I make them out to be in my mind. The night before I usually go, "argh im going to fail, im stuffed, etc." Then I wake up the next morning, go to exam and just go "wtf was I stressing about", then repeat this process ad infinitum. Until next thursday. Woot only one more!

Because I wana write software, and software engineering is the heaviest geared course towards that.

Also, I don't see myself as much of a scientist, but an engineer :D
