Only for those who already sat for the HSC:

I did my half yearly, yearly exams in the school hall.
I did my School Certificate in merged classrooms

I was wondering, where do you sit for your Trial HSC and HSC exams,
because I realise HSC is given much higher priority and the noise of other students outside having recess and lunch is too much for HSC students sitting for their HSC exam

And for those who are going to sit or already sat for HSC exam:

Which courses are you studying right now ?

And does Physics and Chemistry have a scaling up as I heard of ?

If youre doing Chemistry, did your teacher drop pure Sodium into water ?

If youre doing/did Physics, is the Electrical component of Physics easier than Wavelength , Refraction and Reflection components ?

Depends on the subject and number and school. everyones different.
Personally, I did my maths exam last year in the hall, but that was during the MX2 exam, so those 100 guys must have been somewhere else (im guessing in our schools senior study centre).

And for those who are going to sit or already sat for HSC exam:

Which courses are you studying right now ?
Eng ad. mx1 mx2 physics eco cosmo

And does Physics and Chemistry have a scaling up as I heard of ?
its up (as in positive), but not so much, and you shouldnt do it for the scaling, otherwise it would mean you're asian, and we know all asians look the same.

If youre doing Chemistry, did your teacher drop pure Sodium into water ?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, he dropped sodium into water and happy rainbows came out and i rode on the unicorns back. It was a good day. I wish my teacher dropped sodium into water again, as opposed to placing it in water.

No. but again, depends on the individual.

The HSC students at my school would be doing the Trial HSC and the external HSC exams in the school auditorium and for the other HSC assessments, the students would be doing them in allocated classrooms.

The subjects i currently study are adv english, 4u maths, business, eco.

That's a bit of a generalisation.

Our half-yearlies, trials and final exams will all be in our hall. That's the most common place they are held in a school.

Most of our exams are in the Hall, sometimes, if it's only one small class we use the library because that's relatively out of the way. I did Chem last year in the Hall, which isn't exactly part of the school, more of a Parish hall. Our RE speeches are held in two of the Yr12 homerooms.
My subjects are in my signature.

Trials in the hall where all the silly Year 7s live next to--crap positioning

Final HSC in an area cordoned off from rest of school so well it's deadly silent. The only thing is, you can hear the bell ring still and there was some really annoying bitches who were yelling and screaming like animals at the front of the neighbouring building in one of those exams.

You need to have accelerated in a subject last year, distinction courses have major scaling

Our school just plonks us all into B block (a bunch of classrooms which used to be the only ones which had air conditioning)... and then sections this area off from the rest of the school to prevent disruptions. The library is also part of B block so they can limit that only for HSC students too.
