thanks for the useless advice you weaboo
Just a note, I wasn't trying to be mean. It just seemed right to tell you to avoid getting an N award and to definitely hit any number above 0 for a subject. So I wouldn't say its the most useless advice otherwise I would be encouraging you to be an incompetent candidate in the HSC, which I greatly assume you aren't and don't want to be. Maybe I take the HSC much more seriously than you, but my advice still stands - how about some effort to avoid ANY N awards and 0s? I would hate to have it affect your chance at a better ATAR. Good luck on your studies.

Had my 3u Trials Yesterday, one of the hardest papers ever. I had done most of the recent trial papers from the top school for 3u and was averaging ~80% under exam conditions. However my trial exam was so much harder and at this point I dont even think I'll get over 60%. Feelz bad man :/

that sounds brutal >__>"
was it a time thing or just impossible qs?
It should be ok though because scaling + most people probably struggled too ( think last year people at my school were averaging below 70 for the ext 2 paper)

trial sounds scary ; w ;

Usually, if they use turnitin, they'll make you submit it directly. At least that's what has happened in my experience.

yeah, if they use turnitin, they'll make you submit it directly. But usually, they can tell plagiarism has occurred when multiple students use the same quotes with the same analysis as say spark notes, in which they'd probably mark you done from.

On another note, it seems like the thread only really comes alive near/in school holidays. You guys must be much more studious than mine was!

You asked for help. She gave you help. You got pissed off at her advice and called her a weaboo but she still gave advice.
My recommendation- Take the advice (go study and stop being a shitcunt) and take the HSC more seriously. You have 16 weeks left. Dont stuff this up :)

at least this time you have some emotional preparation xD
it's about maximising the marks rather than the final percentage! good luck on monday!

Yeah thanks, hopefully its not too bad. I want to atleast get into top 5 in 4u and top 7 in 3u. My School trial and assessments don't really reflect how I will do in HSC as every test this year has been crazy. Even last year, the trial which was much easier than the one I did and rank 1 got 91% and rank 2 got 89% and both ended up with 99 HSC in 3u and the people who got 50-60% got high 80's to low 90's too.
