Ready for trials? (2 Viewers)

[Riviet]

While some of us have been dreading it, others may be anticipating it, yes it's the trials, and they're almost upon us.

So who's ready for the trials? How much work and study have you been doing in the past weeks?

I've done hardly any studying at all. All these stupid major assessment tasks are piling up for me. Right now I'm doing my IRP for CAFS. urgh.

yourself?

 

[Riviet]

I'm going alright, been trying to get as many past papers and practice questions done for all my subjects. Miraculously I haven't been procrastinating as much in the last week or two and done a little more work than I expected.

 

[Deltan]

Sorry for my ignorance but can someone explain to me what trials are? Do they go to the HSC or something?

I've been studying about 3-4 hours a day. Hoping to bump that up to 5-6hrs starting from tomorrow, as i still have to do so much.

Business Studies: Mainly been focusing on this the whole holidays as theres so much content.

English:Started 2 practice essays. Going to just memorize essays and hope i'll get similar or at least adaptable questions.

Maths: Studied quite a fair bit, mostly before the holidays though. Have to really kill the next 2 assessments, to bring up my rank - lucky there's around 55% left.

Modern History: Haven't touched it. I've fluked my way through 3 assessments with little effort, and i'm hoping i can do it again, but i'm pretty sure it won't happen this time around. I'll just focus on everything except Germany, as it's pretty simple. I also have a assessment on Conflict in Europe which i can't find any info on or at least very little.

Religion: yes, i am zteh screwed. Have to learn the whole course again and about 3 topics which our teacher did very little on. Thank God essay questions are usually the same, except for that compare and contrast shit.

NP, the trial HSC or yearly exams are usually worth 30-40% of the final assessment mark for HSC subjects, so yes they count towards your HSC assessment mark. Other then that if you have a illness\misadventure they can be used for your HSC mark.

Ready? :O not nearly as ready as I want to be I really got to get kicked into gear and organise my time.

 

[ediisjoz]

What i've achieved_
Business: did summaries, haven't spent too much time on it..

Maths 3u : i've been doing past papers. constantly trying to pound away at concepts that i've forgotten

Maths 2u: same as 3u .. not as much of a problem though.

PHys : some sample questions .. testing myself on the syllabus .. been reading extracurricular stuff. re-inforcing my understanding

IPT : summaries .. and stuff. not much to cover. Not much content in this course .. spent least time on this subj.

English : Did some past papers on unseen material .. did some prac. essays.


What i want to finish_
English: AOS and King Lear Prac Essay .. and finish reading the birthday letters

IPT : Finish summarising Core Topics .. and review the option 1s

Maths : do more past papers ... need more prac on 3u.

Phys : finish the list of questions i have .. revise Ideas 2 Implementations and Quantum to Quarks

Business : Finish Summaries for Financial Planning / Management and Bus. Management and Change .. and then revise marketing while looking over past papers, and my assignment.


as u see , i still have a lot to do.

 

[pLuvia]

Maths 3u - Going to start some past papers tomorrow, brushed up on some topics
Maths 4u - Been through one past paper
Japanese - Haven't done anything yet, and seeing as HSC speaking is soon, I'm in trouble, for Jap Ext anyway
Chemistry - Done summaries with all core modules, quarter through Indust. Chem dot points. Done some practice questions, pretty god with this subject. And also finished chemistry assessment task
English - Done nothing, have to finish assessment

So overall, not good

 

[hopeles5ly]

Kent, has your school finished all business topics? Were almost finished employment and about to start finance, which is our last topic.

 

[UnIqUe_PrInCeSs]

we still have Employment relations and Global business left to do. Our teacher said that the only we would be able to finish the whole course is by rushing into it. That's just sad.

 

[housemouse]

I havent done much. Only done 4 hours of work in these holidays which doesnt include the maths lecture i went to as well as the regular tutoring i get. So at this stage, im not ready for the trials.

 

[s2indie]

Not much at all.

Finished my summaries of most courses, except SOR. I'm screwed for that.

But luckily I've got an English workshop at school tomorrow.

For maths to study the first few chapters.

And now, I'm working on my English assessment (speech) and Economics. So many articles to read. *eye twitches*

 

[Asheroth]

OK, so Modern History summaries take a million years to write.

Other than that I have Extension History (historian summaries + basically all the Crusades topic that we haven't actually covered properly in class...sigh...), Drama exam revision, IP and GP, and Music practicals and aural to revise. Oh, and a dodgy 5% Philosophy exam essay to study for.

I broke my wrist, and wasted 4 weeks of the 5 I had to study for the trials.

 

[Mc_Meaney]

Noot ready, but about 35 hours since the start (monday last week)

 

[sando]

havnt done any study.. been doing bloody assignments instead

 

[Mc_Meaney]

we were pretty lucky, only 1 assignment over the holz (had if for 3 terms tho) so no time devoted on assessments.

 

[passion89]

I have so many assignments piling up...
Although, I am very proud of myself that I have some study under my belt at the moment. Now all that's left are those damn assignments.

Same, as i had a large assessment block last term, due to the fact that we didn't have any assessments in term 2 besides the half-yearlies and the religion ISP.
