do you know what time

from memory last year's timetable came out at 10am

i did back to back exams last year (i’m doing a compressed curriculum hsc, so i have already technically got half my hsc, for clarity) and it was absolutely rough, not to scare you but i don’t wish for that again hahaha

Do you like doing the compressed curriculum or would you prefer to do it the usual way?

personally I would love to have some in the last week so I have more time to study for it

this is a really good question actually!
i'm not sure, i think both schemes have upsides and downsides - it is definitely better during exam season studying for 3 subjects as opposed to 6, and i feel more confident going into this year's hsc because i already have half of mine and know what that environment is like, but also you can fall behind super fast if you miss even a few days of school, because one day missed is basically equivalent to 2 days in the mainstream system, which can add up
the system does mean some subjects are limited, like no soc or eng ext 2 (or anything with a major work or project, really) because time-wise it is pretty impractical to get any major projects done in time which sucks

random question but since you did them last year, did you get your marks back or do you get them along with the rest of your hsc?

thanks for answering!
It does sound nice as I'd rather focus on 3 subjects rather than divide it on 6 and that early HSC experience would really help but I can see the impractical side of it also. Unfortunate about major works

brooo thats wildd good luck tell us how it goes

I meant tomorrow as in Friday, sorryy

 

[spiderfan44]

Memorising 4 essays and then adapting them to questions is going to be the end of me

My eng teacher told us that we should do what I said above but another eng teacher said that you should never memorise and adapt bc markers know so what do I do??

wait do we have to memorize 4 essays for the hsc exam??

 

[spiderfan44]

im pretty sure most of my exams will be in the last week bcuz i take low scaling subjects

 

[souli]

good luck everyone! timetable is out tomorrow.
praying modern, eco and english are spaced out

 

[hafsah_]

wait do we have to memorize 4 essays for the hsc exam??

Yeah because we have Common Mod, Mod A, Mod B, and then Mod C which won't be an essay but I'd memorise the key characterisations that I would use for a story and just reuse it

I'm hoping every subject has it's own week tbh

 

[aqwerty13402]

afternoon exams would be good, tbh all i want is just for things to be decently spaced out

me too.

 

[aqwerty13402]

But i always think. How am i going to have all the knowledge in my head? Like yeah i do good during the term, but how am i going to have roughly 4 topics per subject, for so many subjects? Idk its so overwhelming

 

[aqwerty13402]

do you know what time

No clue. Probably 9am or 12pm. I have ext eng before school so ill post here if its out
edit: nvm i didnt see nats message

They don't base it on scaling, its based on how popular it is. Correct me if im wrong, but i've heard that the more popular subjects are spaced out. So Maths, Biology, Business Studies, (and other popular ones) are usually pretty spaced out.
