Marks = ...? (2 Viewers)

[bmwz4]

marks are my life until the hsc is over...then these marks go down the drain when i start uni and will be happy with an elusive credit average

 

[the-1-n-only-me]

marks only equal marks.

the second someone makes something out of it, throw it back in their face. fell free to throw a rock or something aswell.. or a textbook - they're brutal projectiles :rofl:

Whooa. :wave:

 

[zangetsu.xo]

Whooa.

i know it's shocking...
well that's the cumulative rank from the half yearly and the assessment before it in which i only got 18/25 [curse you listening!]. but i was equal 3rd with that assessment so we'll see what happens...
:wave: Sofstar.

Haha marks mean absolutely nothing to me. I can temporarily praise some of my marks...but that praise won't last because it's truly meaningless in the long run. If your marks TRULY equate to your self worth, imagine what your family and friends will say at your funeral..."he had such a great life, his secondary schooling marks were so high. What a great guy he was. Congratulations, we will miss you". Sounds a bit lifeless to me. I just use my marks as a motivation and a guide to where I'm situated in the HSC, if that makes sense.

Ah yes. It's all about working hard this year.

You will be thinking the opposite when you get to uni

I think I'm already developing that for Cosmology but at the moment, the rest of my marks I don't really care about

 

[pritnep]

You would if your marks were poor and you were ranked last. Marks matter because they are what get you your ranks.

Even then, I've developed some sort of apathy towards the whole HSC thing at present, should pass soon enough

Only because it is pretty much certain you will get your 1st or 2nd preference. You get good marks, good ranks, go to a decent school and are an accelerated student no matter what you post you know you are set but for others it's not so much easier to say.

Yeah, I know what you're getting at, I'm just outlining my own thoughts towards it.

What the hell is pathways?

 

[SoulSearcher]

What the hell is pathways?

Doing the HSC over 2 or more years, up to 5 years, I think. Not too sure about what Pathways is.

I thought that was it. Lots of kids do that at my school.

 

[Shrikar]

i just want to get to uni thats all i care about, even if it means pathways

Ditto man.

 

[jemsta]

there are heaps of back door options if you dont directly make it to uni or dont get the course you want.
