    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Not insecure at all. If I was I would have left this discussion a while ago haha. And I do agree with your comment about how not all people who have high ATAR's lack the social aspects of life, I said that myself. What I AM saying however is that in my experience more often than not this is the...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Interesting point actually. There's probably cases for this as well, just like there are for those who get higher ATAR's. I guess someone could make the argument that those who get lower ATAR's tend to be those that aren't all too interested in school, and therefore only go out etc. And that...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Not every single one of them is, I'm not saying that at all. But there are those that DO do that, and there are MANY of them. If you want an example of that, I can only say that one of my good friends was like that; Incredibly smart, but during the HSC was almost non-existant in terms of social...

    Obviously we've all got different views on this topic, but at least we can discuss civilly for the most part.

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    I absolutely agree with you on this 100%. What I dont understand however is how you'd associate someone leaving early in an exam, given that they've tried their hardest, to 'floating through life'...if thats what you're saying.

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    I'm not being condescending at all. I think people who are THAT devoted to their studies and spend all that time going hard-out like that are very commendable. Do I think it's a smart thing to just ignore the social aspect though? Absolutely not. And that just makes you completely wrong. During...

    This. I've said it a number of times, obviously you seem to miss that part. :P

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    I never actually think I would get that high. I'm very critical of myself, which is a MAJOR downfall of mine coz it gets me worked up when I shouldnt have to. In all seriousness, I thought I would be lucky to get 80. In hindsight, I can see how stupid I was to think that as my marks were good...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Yes, with those marks I received 93.2... You really don't get the idea behind ATAR's being re-calculated do you...hahaha

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Granted however, I did get into Uni based on the 93.2. So I can give you that.

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Not at all actually. I had my ATAR recalculated :) Even with 93.2 I would be incredibly happy, especially since I failed my Modern History trial and was expecting 50 or something for the HSC Course for that subject o.0

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    This is a generalisation. I'm a perfect example along with the majority of other kids who were in my cohort. Are you saying that myself getting 97 in my Biology exam was me not trying my best due to the fact that I left just under 1.5 hours early? (No I'm not meaning to sound conceited, I'm just...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    The logistics of it all are more complicated than this, but the generalisation would be yes, but since you'd be coming first it'd either have no effect basically, or a very minimal one.

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    You just made yourself look stupid imo. The whole point of the discussion in this threat has been about generalisations. You're making the generalisation that those who leave early didnt try etc, which is just that; a generalisation. Dont tell someone to not make generalisations when you're...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    You've obviously completely missed the point of this post. It is 100% true that workplaces more often than not hire those who are more "well-rounded" in terms of their approach to life. (I dont have a source because I'm not all that bothered to find one, but I'm sure you're smart enough to do...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Thankyou! haha Yeah I completely understand what you're saying. For me, I've worked hard my entire school life, including University. But in conjunction with that, I've gone out to parties, even during times when its probably not the BEST thing to do due to exams etc. But in all honestly I'd...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    And this is what I'm saying...making the assumption that they havnt finished or attempted all the questions just because they've left early is utter bullshit. Going off what you believe, I must have written next to nothing in my HSC exams. There is no definitive correlation between someone...

    Do most schools have people who leave 40-30 minutes early?

    Just curious and not having a shot at you, but why would that piss you off? As long as they're not galloping out of the exam hall and causing a scene, why would it matter to you if someone left early?

    Thanks :P If I can get that, anyone can, with a bit of natural ability I guess!
