Thoughts on the Half Yearly Exams (7 Viewers)

Eco. This shit is horrendous.

I agree, content in eco is killing. We had 2.2 modules in our exam, all of module 3 & 4, and a 20% of mod 2.

Just remember the basics, rest you can bull shit your way through.

Such as macro policies, remember what macro is, and why its used.. everything else can be made up on the spot, assuming you know what policies are involved in macro, just their names.. that pretty much gives away what they do.

I've got Modern tomorrow. My history teacher got cheated a bit for our exams. He teaches all HSC History classes. (except Extension, no exam anyway) We had our Ancient exam last Tuesday. 8 people in the class. He had a whole fortnight with them. There's two full classes, around 30 kids, for Modern and he doesn't get to mark them 'til school's over. Sucks.

EDIT: I had 3U Maths test and Eco today. 3U started at 8:50am and Eco started at 1:30~. They both went for 2 hours. I finished Economics really early, but I think I did very little for my final essay. (20 marks on the structure and issues relating to the Balance of Payments) I screwed up 3U after about a week's studying. Fantastic.

today was first day for me, was painting some walls and now sleepy.
economics contents is so much it aint funny.
Iruler: you done topic 3 and 4 first?

 

[iRuler]

Yeah we started off with topic 3, then 4 mixed with a bit of 2.

2 largest modules in eco

phew! you guys are unlucky.
i do agree with what you said though.. ive adjusted my study technique just then and it seems easier

-know a key sentence or two
-know key terms
-bullshit the rest (common sense)

nonetheless, i've been resigned to the fact that i will be up to 3am.. and hence, am bludging atm... which will, inevitably, prolong my night

Just finished my final assessment before the exams

English Extension - and it's 1 in the morning. Yay for essays

 

[b00m]

lesson learnt tonight:

never... never cram 150 pages in one day ever again

i'll probably feel the impact of this tomorrow morning..

 

[twistedrebel]

shit man 4am, gl in your exam

 

[b00m]

heh! did alright.

multiple choice was decent.. didn't need to study for that /25
short answers were okay.. hopefully full marks /20

but the extended response.. will be my downfall. Not looking at a good score for that.

done. finish. Kablah

 

[Lolsmith]

Haha. I finished my Modern exam. Had to do 2 20 Mark essays on Weimar Germany + Nazi Party. There were 3 10 mark responses too.

Hoping for around 75%. >.>

EXAMS ARE FINISHED! Now I get to do about 2 weeks worth of homework on my Extension History shit. Yay.

[Lolsmith]

Nah. We have this enormous assignment about a specific topic we have to do. I've pretty much only got my direction (had to decide on topic) and have borrowed couple of books on it. Gotta read them and start getting my stuff together.

Got holiday homework for English, Modern + Ancient though. Yay. Currently on school computer supposed to be doing my Extension proposal. Didn't work so I hopped on bos.
