Re: CSSA Ancient History... The questions I did through past papers on my personality, Pericles came up in the exams - yes both of them! And I did a practise essay on the roles of Aristides and Cimon, which also came up in the exams. Only regret? Not revising properly.

I just looked through the past papers and I agree.

You mean Delian League question? You can if you want to take the risk.

I think I'm just going to stick with answering past HSC questions... making notes is too time-consuming.

Me too... I don't get why some people place more emphasis on homework over assessments. Homework has never been a top priority for me and it will never be.

I hate the tacky designer prints that screams, "LOOK AT MEEEEEE, CHECK OUT THIS DESIGNER BRAND!" Especially LV bags. It's like a piece of walking advertisement. I really like Helmut Lang, A.P.C, Phillip Lim and Rachel Comey for its subtly.

Coffee works for me. I use it to boost my memory in the short-term, not to stay awake and study all night. I'm only drinking one cup of black coffee every morning. I think I may have worded it there a bit dramatically. Oh well, I guess it really depends on the individual.

I haven't done MUCH consistent studying this year. I only did the minimal when required, like for an upcoming assessment task or exams. Since trials are coming up in a month and I'm on a holiday break now--I think it's time for me to start studying seriously now and drink shitloads of coffee.

I was ranked near bottom for English in my prelims but now I'm achieving over 90% in most of my English assessments in year 12. One of the assessment task I had recently was an in-class comparative essay. Three weeks up leading to it, I worked on my first draft and handed it in to my...

English Advanced: 93%, 95% Modern: 88% Biology: 93% Visual Arts: 97.5% I don't know about the ranks though.

0-1. HSC is all about time management and finding motivation. I gave up my ways of procrastinating in the last minute in year 11, instead I make a start with my assessments straight away. Maybe this is the reason why I am finding year 12 so much easier and less stressful than year 11!

I memorise my 1.2k words essay in a day using this method: http://www.productivity501.com/how-to-memorize-verbatim-text/294/#comments Recalling is important, not repetition like re-writing or re-reading your essay.

English Paper 1 - 18th English Paper 2 - 19th Ancient History - 27th Biology - 28th Modern History - 1st Visual Art - 9th

Advanced English - 4th Modern History - 3rd Ancient History - 16th Visual Art - Around top 5 Biology - absolutely fucking dreadful lol. I bombed out in Ancient and Biology, hopefully I'll catch up in the next set of assessments!

Glad I'm not the only one!

Internet in general, argh!

Love: English, Modern, Ancient, Visual Art Hate: Biology

Getting a high ATAR will prevent your parents from kicking you out of the house.

Re: BOS Resources Database online About fucking time!

Same here. I jog three times a week and do pilates once a week. HSC is no excuse for getting fat...
