    Would you perform better typing answers?

    ye but i'm sure pro comp ppl might be able to screw around with it unless they gave everyone a laptop to use for the exam or something (wtf). too much effort.

    Illegible writing

    idk, this is what my tutor who marks said to me, maybe it was a certain centre then (?) another mod C senior marker/supervisor/whatever she was told me that usu they only remark if there's a discrepancy of 5 marks, but she always remarks if there's a difference of 4. She also makes them only...

    Good/bad exam rooms

    Today's room was great but idk about the smaller exams. I remember trials sucked cos we (Latin kids) were put right next to the listening exam for Japanese or whatever, 15 minutes of pure hell. And they finished earlier than us = shouting, laughing, supervisor was giving notices fuck. Also, the...

    get penalised...?

    THIS If you frequently misspell you'll get marks deducted, but if it's a few times in the paper they won't care. Even the exemplars every year have spelling mistakes. Hell I had an unfinished sentence in trials after I didn't notice I hadn't ended it, missed a word or two in the creative as I...

    Illegible writing

    No, usually what happens is if they totally can't read it i.e. every 3rd word, it will get sent to a typist who will decipher it etc. and type it up and hand it to the marker (obviously spelling errors and whatnot are included.) In some cases the senior marker + someone will sit down and...

    Pens Down

    Well it's not like you're going to make her hand in a paper without her number. Personally I waited til the end too, what a waste of time writing numbers + crap. They let us fill in most of it at the beginning though.

    Would you perform better typing answers?

    Nah I think typing would discriminate, idk but I touch type to an insane degree. I'd feel sorry for 95% of the state if we had to type, especially with people who prefer writing. e.g. we have laptops at school but I find I'm one of the only few in classes to even use them. Also, does anyone...

    We are the last year to sit HSC without laptops

    Nah I think Australia just doesn't really give a shit about maths, it's just gotten easier in general and nobody cares. It's not just laptops, there are consoles, the internet, social networking etc. You can't really procrastinate maths, at least not to the extent you can do in humanities...

    ..help

    Stretch them out and into fists again (slowly). Use a stress ball if you have one. Alternatively, use lavender oil + a bit of olive oil if you have any of that, I heard it's really good.

    What do you mean be specify a scene etc.? E.g. Refer to a key extract? Fuck I'd be screwed, my preparation's all over the place.

    Exam predictions

    I rang her and she said she would change it because it was a mistake and wasn't supposed to be for students in the sense that it doesn't use the technical terms students use. It was supposed to be for adults to understand how the exam works. Imagine if she said instead "Students have to write...

    Memorising three essays in one night!

    Nah I did it for trials, chill out, Mod A + C are pretty generic, only Mod B needs extra crap.
