Just wondering when everyone's trials start? Is everyone stressed out?

Mine started yesterday....bloody english...

Anyways, I am really stressed out right now, and the trials are pissing me off. I am one of those nerdy people who study and stress over everything, but I am sooooooooo bloody annoyed, and the pressure is really getting to me now.
I'm in a bad mood today too because I had my Economics and Religion exams, and a mental breakdown!!! I failed both.
Religion, for me, is a subject that I will get a band 5 at if I just study. But Economics is my kryptonite (as well as maths, ext. maths and ext. english). I studies that frigon subject for over a week and wrote about SEVENTY pages of notes - and i failed. And because I spent so much time studying eco, I barely even read over my religion notes. The trials suck balls.
So, is anyone else feeling the same and want to vent the pressure?

I don't know. That's just the timetable we were given. My year co-ordinator said that it was the "catholic" schools timetable but he is full of crap and was probably lying to me. It was bloody horrible - I hadn't had two exams in one day since year 10 and in the last two nights I have only had around 7 hours sleep altogether... when does everyone else's trials start.

Yep your school is following the CSSA trial timetable, so your subject coordinator was right.

And I am luck as such that for my trials I don't have any 2 exams in one day, one exam a day and they are pretty well spread it - although I probably won't be saying that next week. Although for the HSC I have General Mathematics and Software Design and Development on the same day 5.5 hours of exams. *sigh*

My trials start next week (week 4-5). As for stressing\worrying I think it is actually a good sign, showing that you actually care about your performance. Good Luck!

I don't know if religion was like past HSC papers or not, but it was a pretty easy exam. Well, it would have been had I read up on the "religious rites" part... It was a pretty short exam too, only a few questions... I don't know if that is normal...Maybe I should have written more than 4 pages...
I know I stress more than the average person, but like Kid.@dmin, I think that it is a good thing. If I didn't stress, I would have no motivation to study at all. I read somewhere once that "stress is the key to life. If there is no stress, there is no life".
And I would prefer to fail because I tried too hard, than because I didn't try at all. My teacher once said that (and I think he was referring to me because I was upset about my crappy mark), getting 50% when you have tried is better than getting 100% without any effort. I don't know if I exactly agree, cause I would love 100% on an exam, but I find it kind of comforting. The 50% wasn't very comforting at all...

Mine started today, with an English exam that means nothing. Figures; the one subject that I love and can do quite well and they choose have the exam mean nothing.

Modern History tomorrow...eep.
