Why are all the writing booklets stapled from CSSA? Is this a HSC standard procedure? IF so it sucks. You have to full on fold the paper to write on it. and Some teachers make us take the staple off, causing 10 + booklets to go all over the place, wasting precious exam time looking for these booklets, + creating annoying paper sounds in exam conditions.

So is this just a shitty CSSA writing booklet structure?

I don't mind it, I just fold away and write. I just don't prefer it. Also writing names and teacher initials on every single booklet is a drag. I'm assuming you have to put centre number and student number on every booklet as well, even though its stapled as they get torn up and given to different people.

my teachers get all bitchy about having pens in hands during reading time and after exam has finished even when your just writing your name. They're like "you could get a 0 under HSC exam conditions blah blah blah" which is pretty stupid imo, because like today for example, I was writing my name and teacher's initials on 11 booklets, and the teacher just says reading time begins now, I'm fuck bitch wait. But no i couldn't, so I had to waste exam time filling in frekin names, gay shit.

Omg that reminds me. I was having my modern history exam and most of the fuckwits in my class stopped writing which left a few others and me standing out like a dogs balls. Anyways this gronk teacher was eyeballing us whole time and when pens down came all i heard was these stomps, next thing i know she yanks the pen out of my hand...

It’s like wtf bitch let me finish my concluding sentence...

Those sheets you get in the HSC are a pain in the ass, specially with subjects like modern and english where you have heaps of them floating around on a small desk. I prefered the old 8 page booklets, because you didnt have to spend forever organising. Also, they had one blank page to every lined page which meant you could add something into your essay if you missed it.

Eh, BOS probably got sick and tired, of ready messed up "forgotten quotes and shit". Honestly I love how it says in big black font "DO NOT WRITE IN THIS SPACE" just makes me want to put a pen mark in the middle lol
