Studying For School Certificate (3 Viewers)

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone is actually going to study for the test. Preferably people that are going onto years 11 and 12.

Save yourself the trouble & don't study.

Some will, and some won't. Just wait til we get some replies from your fellow Year 10'ers :uhhuh:

That was the plan.. Only subject I want to do well in is maths and I would easily get band 5 and I have a fair shot at band 6 (without studying).

Well, then you don't really need to ask any other SC'ers if they're studying or not - doesn't really matter. Seriously, the SC exams are the easiest bunch of tests you'll ever have to sit for. Just enjoy this time and you'll be fine.

Don't study for Maths. Just looking at the papers online, my Year 9 (and possibly 8) Yearly had harder questions in it. I might just look at my History/Geography books the night before the exam, and as for Science - I heard it's pretty basic, and you need to memorise the science equipment.

As for Computer skills - someone at BoS said that posting at BoS will get you something like 80%+.

Yeah I agree with Aerath. There is really no point in studying for Maths, especially for 5.3 students as it is easy to get a band 6 for maths. Only study if your maths is at a low level.

I need to go through history and geography as well. I didn't do so well in the trials so it's best to go revise and go through each subject. The SC subjects you didn't do so well in trials would be best to go through.

Yep if you know how to post on BoS you will probably get in the 80's or 90's for computing studies..

And as tanjin repeatedly continues to say in every topic, 'the school certificate means nothing, there is no such thing as failing'. I agree as well. But for studious students who want to top year 10 and beat fellow year 10'ers around the state in different schools, you should be studying like I . And my parents will be pissed if I get bad marks so yeah, worth the study .

Happy studying for the SC or Happy Bludging lol.

Yea, we did last years Computing Skills test and I got 49/50 for the multiple choice. (Our teacher went through and picked the 50 hardest)

Practise the English Comprehension MC questions - most of them have two answers which are correct, but its a bitch trying to find out which one is more correct.

Not worth the effort!
Seriously, I didn't open a book and got band 5s.
Just enjoy year 10 while you can!!

 

[jessoc1990]

they seem big in yr ten, but i dont think anyone has ever looked at what result i got, and its a bunch of subjects you'll probobly never look at again. they're much easier than you expect. Study if it makes you less nervous, but for actual productive reasons, dont worry about it

 

[soopacow]

I don't think I even touched my school stuff for my SC exam.............

And I passed
But then again, it wasn't a very pretty pass.... so......

My parents were exactly the same, but in the end they didn't give a shit about it either, so if i had studied properly and spent my time on the SC - it would've been a waste. That's the only reason i say it.

Never again will I make the same comment

Good luck to everyone!

lol... hey ppl haven't posted in a while.... so sleepy now hahaha.... well.... i'm studying.... cause i got parent's that won't get off my back... jesus if i got a band 5 i think they would faint.... lol

I wouldn't give a crap if they didn't keep badgering me hahahaha

bye....

*goes off to pretend to study for SC cause parents just came in room*

you don't need to study for your SC
it like the simplest exams you will ever do.
i didn't study and got band 5's and a 96% in computers.
so you really don't need too.
besides if your doing HSC then it doesn't matter at all.

[Aplus]

If I do crap in my trials (75-90% ish), does that mean I have to study harder to get to a score of 95%+ and guaranteed band 6?

 

[Kujah]

I've always been under the belief that the internal mark for the SC does not affect your external mark. You get what you get.
