I didn't study very much or very in depth because I knew how pointless it was to study so in depth for such broadly tested subjects.

So what are your thoughts?
Did you waste time?
Was it helpful?
Do you regret it?
Did you study?
Study was so pointless.

Pretty much. And all the things I studied for were not in the test.

I wishe I did some study on Human Rights. My freaking Geography teacher said that we would be able to choose between Human Rights and Reconciliation, but when it comes into the test, the freaking 15 mark extended response is on Human Rights ONLY!!! KJDHKHKLQAHASHABSXHQEYLB!!!!

I studied more in the trials than for the actual sc. I thought it was much easier than the trials:)

I didn't sleep last night, cramming all the History and Geography notes in an epic session. Was it worth it? No because the notes I compiled, the test did not go into depth about. E.g. Geography, there was no question on a specific link nor geographical issue such as urban growth and decline, coastal management and etc.

LOL, I didn't study AT ALL for sc. I just skimmed through the past papers and found it all okay and basically when our class was doing sc past papers, half of our class just went to sleep instead~~ But yeah, the sc exam this year wasn't that hard...

hey guys. new here. phew...im so glad i got the bulk of the sc over. tommorrow is the 'common sense' exam. So, I studied the right amount for History and Geog(which was heaps). A bit too much for science. And ridiculously too much for Maths(5hrs+) I found Humanities easy, Science easy, English okay, and maths was bloody hard. I'm usually really good at maths(I'm choosing ext 1 next year), but i'm crap at all that skills stuff and especially volume and surface area. Only good at algebra and quadratics.

Don't regret studying. It was great practice for your years to come!

And if you did not study (which I'm pretty sure you did, *wink wink nudge nudge*), then you should really get your act together in preparation for next year :p

I didn't study much - just went over what I had to include in certain long responses [which didn't end up getting asked anyway] so I guess studying would have been pointless.

Did you study?
Yes I did.
Do you regret it?
No.
Was it helpful?
Yes, particularly in history.
Did you waste time?
Somewhat yes, though, it's not like I don't 'waste' time on other things.
So what are your thoughts?
I thought the test was reasonably easy and the studying did help me a bit.
