90.60! Beat my goal by .6, and I can't actually believe I got 90 to begin with. Beyond happy with it :) All exam marks and assessment marks for my subjects were the same, and I was ranked first in all of them. So I take it that means I got the highest exam mark in each yeah?

That was probably the easiest exam out of all the ones I've done dating back to 2009. Only a few MC questions that were vague and I don't recall ever seeing 'destructive and non destructive' material terms.. what was that?

I'd say it'd be pretty high seeing as the exam was freaking easy. What was last years?

29 (c) was the one that stuffed me up. How do you do it?!

I've done a past paper (maybe 08/07) where they've put deciles as a question... so definitely revising all year 11 too. I'm ranked 1/60ish with an average of 95 so that's what I'm aiming for. Generally the harder questions for me are the ones where they ask you to make an equation or formula...

How did people run out of time? 3 hours is a long time.. Even though I had an idea as to what I was writing, I did get a little bored/tired towards the end, but I pushed myself to get around 3 to 5 pages for each question. Did the Julio-Claudian 25 marker second after Pompeii just because I...

Yeats was quite bizarre, I ended up just referring to time and place as the composers context, shaping both Yeats intended meaning and our understanding of the search for truth (Did Leda & The Swan and An Irish Airman, though a few of my class did Among School Children). I'd be lucky to get a 10...

Re: 2016 Federal Election Elections are supposed to be every 3 years aren't they? I think there's a definite chance of a Labor win, especially with the disdain for the Liberals already at a high only a week after they've come into power. Plus, the Liberals did not get the 'landslide' of...

Depending on how well I think I did, I'll either walk out of my last exam (Vis Art) and fist punch the air, or stew in my own silence. Then I'll high five my friends and probably write a somewhat tacky 'finished HSC' Facebook status. Then after a week has gone by of me drinking and just having...

Week One: Monday~ English AOS Tuesday~English Paper 2 Friday~Ancient History Week Two: Tuesday~General Maths Wednesday~Science Week Three: Wednesday~Hospitality Week Four: Wednesday~Art Fairly spread out, though I'd prefer more time in between both English exams, it's just a bit stupid imo...

Ancient History on the 18th.. my 18th birthday, wooh!

This exactly.

There are so many useful and easy quotes to remember, such as ones that refer to how an individuals experience of belonging is enriched or hindered by their interactions with their surrounding world (i.e. community).. Just remember basic comparisons and scenes that refer to the syllabus such as...

Same, start tomorrow and finish Friday next week.

You're best off making your own test out of trial questions, that's what I'm going to have to do.

Pretty sure my school is ranked very very low (not too sure, but it's a small town school so yeah), anyway, we were informed that we got two 94's and a 96 last year, so it is possible to get a good ATAR. Try to avoid being brought down by your cohort by ranking 1st and getting the highest...

Did a reasonable amount of work in the holidays, could have done more though, but I needed a break before I go full-ball the rest of the year :) Goals... ~Revise at least 1.5 - 2 hours a day on a specific subject (each one on a different day). Goal/time based study. ~Write one essay/couple of...

Wow, the posts on this thread make me feel a whole lot better... I was actually starting to worry a lot.. But as far as studying these holidays, I've done a fair bit but definately not as much as I wanted too. I just need a break and then I'll really buckle down as soon as school goes back...

Re: What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry A similar thing happened to my friend this year. She had tons of notes for Modern on her thumbdrive, and another girl asked if she could use the thumbdrive to transfer stuff. The chick saw the notes on...

So I'm getting the feel that the majority of people hate, or at least dislike English. I go to a relatively small school, so we're not a very good representation of the student population. But, when I scroll down post after post of hard working BoS'ers, I see countless evil/angry faces next...
