Why don't they make a Year 11 HSC? Practice run for Year 12.

I think they should retain it except make it harder. It'd be a much nicer segue into senior years and take a bit of pressure off the amount of content you have to learn. Of course, then they might have to make the HSC harder...

I support the scrapping. You do NAPLAN in year 9, then you have year 10 off, then you start your preliminary HSC.

It was awful HSC practice because it was so damn easy.

^Well in my english exam, 20 minutes in, this derro started swearing his head off and pushing the exam table over. He was removed, so he probs didn't. Also if you get three N awards for not handing stuff in, don't you not get one?

Haha at my school you're allowed to leave as long as you've "answered" every question. Needless to say literally 3/4 of people left at least 30 mins before the exams.

And yeh i think you fail the course if you get 3 N awards.

Wow, I wonder how he coped the rest of the time. 3 N awards and that subject does not go towards your SC. Same thing for HSC I think or maybe it's 1 N award. :/

I wish my school had let me leave early during history & geography. It was horrible just sitting there.
