I haven't started mine yet! Meant to do it this morning but decided to phone a friend instead and get the gossip from her schoolies trip last week. As the deadline approaches, I'm getting that same feeling of anxiety that used to accompany all my last-minute assessments...I thought that was all...

Argh, those damn essays! My biggest issue at the moment is the 400-500 word limit...my writing has become very long-winded after doing both a 5000-word PIP and 7000-word English Ext 2 major (although I have to admit at the beginning of the year I thought it would be impossible to write that much...

The meaningfulness of the HSC is indeed a debatable topic, as shown in this thread, but I just have to ask whether anyone else found that in exams all they were basically doing was regurgitating information? To give an example from SaveFerris' experiences (my God, is there anything more...

Hmm, I'm still undecided about the phone/net/mail issue...Mum wants me to find out my results on the 19th/UAI on the 20th as early as possible so she can know before she goes to work...however, as I have pointed out to her repeatedly, the 19th is my 18th birthday so I will have more pressing...

Society & Culture next Friday...grr...

Speaking to a friend of the family not long ago about UWS, he was saying that when they initially put forward plans for a uni in the Western Sydney area they were going to name it after some guy, quite like Macquarie Uni or Monash Uni in Melbourne, anyway, someone equally well-known. For some...

I've applied to do Journalism at CSU and got my questionnaire/essays last week...I'm not so concerned about the actual essay questions but it looks like I'm gonna be returning a pretty blank questionnaire... * "Have you undertaken work experience relevant to the course you wish to study?"...

At some point before the HSC begins they must be taken to the town, and then kept in a secure place (police station, bank, etc.) that's local. Dad's a teacher and he said that they're picked up from the police station or whatever by the supervisor in charge each morning and taken to the school...

During the 2U Maths exam last Monday, one of the guys from my class had his phone ring about halfway into the exam...he pulled it out of his pocket, pressed a button and put it away. I thought he'd turned it off, but then it rang five minutes later. About five minutes after that, he got up and...

I began with "The best weapon is integrity"... Basically I expanded on the story excerpt we had to write for our trial exam...it was set in Australia in 2050, about how the governments of the early 21st century had banned immigration and asylum seekers and as older generations of migrants...

I loved that paper (well, as much as you can with an exam, it's all relative I guess)! Last night I freaked out about it, worried that the questions would be narrow and obscure and they turned out to be wonderfully broad! WW1: Found the sources okay but spent ages looking at the photo going...

I'm with the people who used Person 1 and Person 2 (which, after hand cramp, became P1 and P2)...the thought never actually occurred to me to name them!! Person 1: educated, enlightened scholar Person 2: ignorant fool (who was, at one point, called an ignorant fool by Person 1) BTW, I did...

Our english teacher was telling us at the end of last term that in the weeks leading up to the exam they keep the papers at police stations...I guess your experience proves that no matter where they keep them, even if they were in like a vault within a vault within a vault or whatever, they've...

I couldn't do it...the guilt would be awful...and plus a UAI of 99 that comes from cheating would be meaningless to me. I'd rather get a true indicator of my ability, even if it was initially disappointing. After all, what's the value of a good result if you haven't properly earned it? OMG...

I've learnt the hard way to be prepared for them to specify a particular part of a text in the modules exam...for module B in our trial (Speeches elective) we got "...with reference to Abraham Lincoln's 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People'..." Yeah...that was annoying...

Thanks guys...it's good to hear what others have to say concerning study/exam techniques, especially during StuVac when I'm spending so much time sitting at my desk all alone and wondering whether I'm "studying right". Personally, I'm pumped for the creative task in the Change paper...always...

Okay, what follows may be complete and utter crap due to my current state of mind...brain is overworked and mixing things up, etc. If this is supposed to be in another forum, i.e. a specific subject, I apologise but this forum seemed appropriate (note use of the word "seemed"...oh dear)...

Right now I am overcome with immense feelings of irritation more than anything else. This has stemmed from the fact that so much is happening this week (my school's Yr 12 outing all day tomorrow, graduation ceremony on Wednesday night, a 4-hr shift at work on Thursday night, etc) when I would...

Your student number should be available through your school...I had to go see my year adviser to get mine...I've also heard that you can get it from the certificate and reports they sent out for School Certificate...apparently it's the same number for SC and HSC.

First episode of CNNNN was good but I remember Election Chaser as being better...maybe the team just needs to find their groove in the new show...comedy is often like that I agree with the watching scrolling words vs. images thing...where to look? A friend of mine taped the show so she could...
