History is the hardest to study for because it's so long, but the exams are always a breeze for me. Other than that, I like English exams, they're fun!

History. You just memorise stuff and write it. No skills involved unless you are analysing sources

English: relies a lot on your analytical skills. Not good :mad:
Maths: relies a bit on ability as well, not just on following formulas. Some people go tutoring two times a week and still can't get as high as those who go dont go tutoring. :uhoh:
Science: heaps of skills involved. average is always at 60% :mad:
Geography: mapping involved, etc, etc.....very annoying. sometimes they test things you haven't learnt before! stupid school :mad:
Pe: just bullshit. You can make crap up on the spot and still get great marks :rolleyes:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SChool Certificate aim: all band 6's (worried if I will get that for English)

HSC subjects (considering): Advanced English, 3 unit Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Business Studies, Ancient History.


uai aim:

if I stay at sefton, then it'll be: 95+
if change to fort street, then it'll be: 98+
if change to sydney girls, then it'll be: 99+

History is the most enjoyable.
At that point in time, I can see that you loved history.

At that point in time, I loved science too.

Some people (I think many people) would disagree with me. But my easies subject to do well at is Mathematics.

May be it is due to my effort in this particular subject.

In Years 9 and 10, I enjoyed history so much, that in my spare time such as in breaks, I use to read my whole textbook. With no surprise, I got A's every year with history.

Surprisingly, my history SC mark wasn't high enough to my expectations. Geography being my worst subject was one of my best subjects almost squeezing into a band 6 (mark: 89 :(). Even though I had marks higher than geography in the school cert, geography was definitely my highlight :).

Tip for Year 10: Don't burn yourself out with the School Certificate. Take it easy and develop on your study habits. But if you have asian or curry parents, then bad luck :)

School Certificate did not actually reflect my own aptitudes in English. However, it definitely exaggerated my academic ability in regards to History.

physics/chem/maths on the other hand, i find so much easier because its right or wrong and you dont have to blabber on about shit..
I think english is kinda the same... there are right and wrong answers, a right answer is any which follows the syllabus pattern for how a proper response is to be written, often a matter of form more than thought.
