Hello! How are people going in the HSC???

I had all my exams in the first week Now I have one left which is on the last day!

Which basicly means, I finished all my exams and can't even finish early coz my last one is on the last day!!!

Anyways, I stuffed up pretty bad... Esspecially in Legal studies...

Question: Explain how legal instruments help maintain world order, also in your answer include a discussion about [include discussion topic here which i have never heard of before]

Answer: World order is... keeping the..order in the word... *raises hand and walks out of the exam room with 1 1/2 hours left on the clock*

Well I wrote like.. 8 pages on the Family Law essay.. So ... hrm. Stupid Exams.

All the way through the English exam I wrote about Kill Bill

l love KILL BILL, l watched it last night (for like the 50th time!) lol

well, the HSC, sounds like a blast dosen't it

here's what l got to look forward to next year

Chemistry
Advanced English
Ancient History
Biology
Physics
Advanced Maths
Mathematic extension 1
Mathematics extension 2


sigh, it's gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg year

No it's not going to be a long year... it's gonna finish so fast... Then when you're on your last month of school ever... you're gonna wonder where all the time went. I feel like an old person and not a 17 year old girl saying this, but: Enjoy it while it lasts!

I WATCHED KILL BILL YESTERDAY TOO!!! AND TODAY for the 70th or 80th time

Im 17 as well, PM me sometime (we can talk for a long time about Kill Bill lol), my favourite scene is the fight between her and Gogo, she rocks, you heard the rumours bou Vol.3, l'll tell you over PM centre some time

............................... so back on topic, l meant that l have my work cut out for me, not that it will take a long time coz year 11 flew for me, it was over so fast.

I walked out of the maths test today realising I was supposed to use dy and not dx

Cypher- I don't do maths so I would have no idea what on earth you're talking about

Jinzo - Do you use msn? If so what's your addy? Easier to talk over that. I LOVE GOGO! ON MY MSN SPACE I HAVE LIKE A WHOLE SECTION DEDICATED TO HER!

Not to mention the poster of her on my wall... and my msn display pictures... >_>

I did the HSC in 2002. Now i'm finishing my 2nd year of uni. High school seems like a big nothing now.........probably shouldn't say that since i'm studying 2 b a music teacher. lol.

Hey chooken i'm trying to get a Horus deck going - experimenting at the mo. What do you use that you think goes well with horuses. I noticed u were using Elemental Dragons. Any good?

Maths was hard.. -_____-

Next week's my worst week. 3 subjects in 2 days. -______________-

Yeah that's like my friends who have Art, then hospitality and then drama in 2 days!

I decided not to do the Hospitality exam so Im safe from that.

I used Elemental dragon with armed dragon, horus and masked dragon... but coz I didnt have armed dragon lv 7 i used TIV as replacement coz I was sposed to be getting one, but that seemed to fail... so Now I'm going back to my original horus deck which was horus/fire...

I used to have field control but with the cards slowly being banned... thats not working to well either

Whats your elemental dragon gotta do with HSC? o_O!

Mine's worst. Ancient History, IPT then Chemistry!!!

AHHHHHHHHH!

I've got good schedule. Only 1 exam a day.

Last Week:
Mon - English
Wed - Japanese
Thurs - English

This Week:
Mon - Maths
Tues - Japanese Ext.
Thurs - Maths Ext.

Next Week:
Wed - Chemistry

Yay, I can study heaps on chem, the crappiest subject of the lot!

my schedule was quite good,

week 1
monday- english 1
wednesday- french
thursday- english 2
friday- legal studies

week 2
monday- maths

week 3
bludge

week 4
wednesday- business studies

i so owned at the english exams. for paper one i wrote a total of 20 pages. for paper 2 i wrote a total of 22 pages for all 3 modules. damn my hand hurt after that.
french was so easy, since i am french so no probs.
legal studies, 9 pages on family and 8 pages on world order. better than i thought i would do.
maths was so freakin hard. they give you 4 hours worth of questions to do in 3 hours. damn i hate maths, i shouldnt have chosen it, shoulda stuck with IPT.
only got business to go which is my favourite subject and ive never done bad in it this year so i should be fine, hopefully.

peice of advice to anyone going to do the hsc in a later year: only chose subjects you think you can get good results. dont chose a subject because you think its a smart persons subject, dont chopse 4 unit maths and 4 unit english because you think "scaling" will save you. only chose them because your good at them.

Yeah, especially 4 unit maths. If you don't like to work like me, just do 3 unit. Not as difficult and time consuming.

And choose your favorite subjects. I should've chose History over Chemistry but I didn't and I hate Chem =/

If you like the subject but afraid of bad scaling or something, remember that if you do well in the subject, scaling won't really matter as long as you do well. If you can do that with most of your subjects you can still get a good UAI anyway.

Chem sux.. But I hope I won't have trouble studying for it since I've done the revision this holidays. =\

Here's mine.. o_O
WEEK 1: ENG, ENG (MON,THURS)
WEEK 2: MATHS, MATHS (3U) (MON, THURS)
WEEK 3: ANCIENT HISTORY, IPT (TUES), CHEM (WED) *dies*

I do fairly well in Ancient and IPT, so I hope i could pull it off that day.. *faints*

You know, they did say that the 2U Maths was easier this year compared to other years.

f***.

yeah, it is "bradsfat@hotmail.com" (don't worry l'll change it soon, then l will let you know.)

Now, you also asked what dx meant, it is the derivitive notation used in differentiation in calculus. (say that 20 times quickly lol)

Now, l may be in year 11, but since l am doing it next year l feel that l can be part of this topic as well

My yearly exams were very difficult. Especially the 2 unit and 3 unit paper. Even the top advanced kids had trouble on the 2 unit paper. As for 3 unit,. no one finished (noone ever does lol.) and it was just diabolical from beginning to end. It was one of two tests l failed (l failed chemistry as well), Chemisty is so hard, and l hate it.

I stand by make remark: Chemistry sux.

Don't worry, Chemistry is really tough just think of it this way. Chem is one of the hardest sciences and you should be proud your doing it and surviving. =D

As for 3 unit, the time usually is a big factor, but you should really try to have a good pace so that when it comes to the HSC or even the trials, you won't run out of time, like i did.. o_O;



o_O; One things for sure though, the trials were easier than the HSC one..

I agree. During trials I sat around for an hour and went to sleep for the 2U test.

Alas this was not meant to be

And you better pick up the pace in 3U Maths. The reason why people get raped by 3U is:

a) It's 2 hours
The questions are harder than 2U
c) If you don't know your s*** well, the questions are even harder
d) Practice. Do lots of past papers and you can finish 3U quickly without much problem.
e) James Ruse. Nuff said.

bradsfat? Tell Brad to lose weight -__-

Man I'm glad I don't do Chem.. I have heard about how terrible it is... I did Biology but I dropped it.. basically my teacher told me i really sucked at it.. and hey, I didn't disagree.

will do, cept that'me lol, l'm not fat (in fact the opposite) but it's a joke the Gosford guys all have lol

I suck at biology too, but l have been getting better.

I should've done Bio.. o_O. I thought chem was more on practicals.. but no.. and the fact that my teacher sux. chem's a blduge.. =\

Speaking of practice papers. I should be doing some now.. =/

bruuutal im only half done

24 pgs for advanced english paper 1
27 pgs for modules...no random text types like feature articles so i pwned it with my prepared essays

got canzored in 4U maths but i heard it was the 2nd hardest paper after 2003 in like 15 years...

got 3U maths, phys and eco left...finish on the last day

need 95+++++ plzzzzz must get into bcom@unsw lolzzz

BCom @ UNSW? Cool.

I hope to get 90 at least.. =S

Yeah, I want 93.5...

I don't think I will though, I've been slacking off lately. And 2U Maths I don't think went very well :S

lol bcom...u bludger
hmmm 2003 was not harder than 2000 haha ..........they all about the same =/ heeh

if u see a circle geometry in the last questio....those are teh hardest..

Circle Geometry? Not too complicated IMO.
This year's trials had CGeometry at the first question.

sif!!! circle geo is hard...along with harder probability ie factorials and perms and combs and also binomials where u have to prove stuff like (nCk) = (n-1 C k-1)+(n-2 C k-2)...or something like that.

24 hrs to go till 3u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just need to know the rules/laws/identities for circle geo and recognise them.

I dun like Projectile Motion... hopefully I'll get it by tomorrow..

I hate Physics but somehow rape projectile motion.

P&C and Binomial are the hardest for me. Oh look, 4 hours left to learn Binomial stuff >.>

Uhh, that test raped me hard up the ass.

f***.

Question 7 was.. o_O

And the rest, i manage to answer a few.. o_O

But that was hard, brudda.. =\

yeh that was pretty hard. i believe i lost 15 marks...

lost 5 marks on projectile motion

and another 7 on the last page...><

and the induction lol...

God, I came out of that test and was like:

"f***, I know how to do Question 7 "

Damn, I'd be happy to get half marks

Gah.. Just browsing thru the paper with such simple looking questions boosted my confidence.. But then when I started doing it.. ahhhh crap.

How to do the first part of Question 7 part a anyway?

You guys doing 4U?

I dropped 4U, it was screwing with all my other subjects...especially 3U for some unknown reason. Ever since I did 4U my 3U was always lower than my 4U mark. Don't ask me why, I don't get it either.

l know what you mean, l do 4 unit now, and the amount of work, followed by the stress to learn it all is huge, l will prolly drop it eventually........before it ruins my life

I guess if you really can't handle the work, then drop it. But if you did it cos you loved spending your nights doing maths questions, keep it.

I should've done it and see if I could last. =\

HSC has been easier than the Trials. English was easy , CFS was easy and General Maths was easier than the trials . 2 left.

CFS?

In relation to 2u maths, Trials was heaps easier.

Congrats! 2 left! I've got 3.. T_T

haha..i meant 4 unit circle geometry. And when it was the last question on a paper, its almost impossible to do.

even know when looking at 4u math papers...still take me a whle to figure it out,
i had no chance back then.

Yeah, but that's General Maths...General Maths is like always easy

I liked Paper 1 in English, but for Paper 2 I had a bit of problems because I had trouble with one of my texts for telling the truth.

really u do telling the truth too? well i guess u didnt do frontline right? coz that was just an generic essay hehehe

4u is a lot of work but if u keep doing the hours u will get decent results. I however did not bother to do those hours.

for 7a) let the point where r touches the circle be X, u can consider the triangle PTX and work out a equation for tanA...this is the way they want u to use, as u need it for 7b.

i used the cosine rule instead, which got the same answer, however it left me no possible way to do 7b...

I did do Frontline, except I put too much emphasis on one text and the other one kinda sucked

Ooooh.. Advance Ppl..

*runs back to the good ol' standard..*

l know, usually when l get told something in clas sit completley flies over my head, then l go home and practice it till l get it. It is easier to understand that way.

I have to do tons of work on it everynight just to keep up coz it certainly likes to squeeze a lot into one hour

CFS


I think Community & Family Studies

Almost there!! AHHH! I'm soooo dead tmr.. =/ well, not really.. =D

Lol, I have like 20 hours or so to study the entire Chemistry syllabus.

Talk about screwed

Anyone doing IPT 2moro?

I just did IPT.. phew.. that was a bit tough.. =\

Chemistry tmr.. need to reread notes which i already forgot..

LAST TEST BUT!! Mwhahahahaha!
