How did you guys go for Maths & HSIE. Discuss some of your answers...I'm curious of what you guys wrote.

What did you guys pick for the Geography Extended Response?

i think i just went in circles with that one!
if i remember the question right, i picked Air Quality.
i dnt think i refered to the decision-making thing very well. i think i only mentioned that a little.

Maths was pretty good although, i just realised that i got 2-3 questions wrong, or was part of the minority that chose it.
History i think i just screwed up like usual. I can never make out the difference between the correct and the "more correct" answer and that really irritates me.

Maths, I think was really easy because it was really basic. I BS'ed a lot in HSIE but I think I went alright.

As for the Geography extended response, I chose coastal management.

I chose coastal management because our school went to 'Nulla to learn about it.

Hmmm... I thought maths was really easy. Lol, I thought hist/geo was much harder because I didn't bother studying it.

I'm actually really pleased with my school cert. Because I didn't study an inch and I think I did alright in eng, maths & sci (I'm mentally blocking out hist/geo).

Btw, for the time thingy-y, I got 6:05 am as well.

Lol, for the life of myself, I honestly couldn't remember what my school did for geo.

huhh^^^???? lol, ok :S well i just used a simple tree diagram of 5 circles and everythin, and i think i got 10...coz 20 didn't work out


geo: the last 2 page question, we didn't touch that topic at all.....so i was completely clueless. a lot of BIG SPACIOUS WRITING and bull for me lol some of the multiple choice were weird coz i hadn't learnt those topics eg urban growth/decline

history : was okay, the last long response was such a relief....!! lol i new the answers off by heart, and it was pretty easy for me

maths: finished just in time was okay though i probly made several stupid errors. btw, that grl runnin to the end of the jetty....i got 5:55am...??? she took 25 min, ???

o well

hey i was just wondering...do they ever scale u DOWN....? that's all i'm scared of. otherwise i'm sure i did okay......

I found maths so hard because i didnt study at all for it and didnt even practice past papers, i always go bad in maths and always find it difficult . I found history and geo easy but found that the history multiple choice were abit hard.

Yeah i put 10 as well. I think you got 20 because you did repeats. What did people get for the number of paths possible when going east or south in a multiple choice question?

Maths: I didn't study for this. I haaate maths, I'll probably get a band 3 or 4.

Geography: fucking easy. They practically showed us the answers in the extended responses :\ I didn't study at all for this either but I bullshitted about urban growth :)

History: This was the only one I actually cared about besides Science, I study heaps for it but now I know I got at least 2 multiple choice questions wrong :(

Afterwards was fun. We went to riverside and burnt our geography notes :D

i stuffed that english editorial :( i couldn't think of what to write near the end, it felt so dry and pointless >.< the short story was much better by comparison, even though i stared at the paper for like 10min trying to figure out what to write XP my story was basically about a boy who was trying to get out of the control of his boss in this 18th century english town, and the guy he had to meet was a business person whose boat was due to leave in two days. and in the end he got promised by the person to leave cos he stole a pair of earrings to give in return, but actually for turned in back to his boss by the business man. yeah. pretty dumb stuff XP history and geo were ok i suppose, they're sort of the stuff that i can actually blab about :p but anyway, i'm just so glad it's over :D

Nope, everyone was told to either scrible on the formula sheet or the multiple choice booklet.
