HALF YEARLIES :O when? are you ready? studiesss? (1 Viewer)

[m.incognito]

sooo, half yearlies are coming up for most of us.

mine are in week 10 + 11, but apparently some schools have them in week 5 + 6. early.
for now, i'm not ready for any of them. 6 weeks to pull it together.

anybody have assessments relatively close to half yearlies as well?

and how much are they weighted?

advanced - 15
eng ext - 0
2 unit - 25
math ext - 25
biology - 10
chemistry - 20

i'm also doing ext french with open high... half yearlies are worth 40, yes, 40%. friggin insane.

I think ours start week 6.

 

[veloc1ty]

I have an exam block in week 10, but it's only for 3 of my subjects. I have assessments for my other subjects, the first one being English next week.

 

[Kujah]

Exams start in Week 7 for us. Getting our timetable soon, and we've got notifications for individual subjects. I'm still typing up notes, and I'm finding it hard to balance my revision time at the moment

 

[cs01001]

Yea, I got quite a lot of assessments close to the 1/2 yearlies as well

English: Viewing/Listening DVD task. 20%.... OMG.... (Week 6)
English Half Yearly: AOS Section 1 + Section 3 Tempest. 10% (Week 9/10)

Maths: Half Yearly 30% ... (time to pull up first shitty assessment mark) (Week 9/10)

Geography: People and Economic Activity assessment. 20% (Week 6)
- > Half Yearly - 30%?

Economics: Australia's place in the global economy. 20% (Week 6)
- > Half Yearly >20% (Week9/10)

Chemistry: Half Yearly 25%? (Week 9/10)

Sigh, hope I do good in those and improve ranks/marks in all subjects.

 

[risole91]

i have one-two tests a week every week, weighting varying between 10 and 20 %, leading up to H/Y in weeks 10 and 11 were most are 25%.

also i do distance ED, and my 2nd assessment is in the last week of term.

English: A fucking diptych on BNW/BR, this assessment is ridiculous - 15%

Economics test: Just MC/Short answers -15%

Economics Assessment: Budget stuff, not due till June though - 20%

Nah we can't do Mendel because we do him in depth in class, I'm doing watson & crick, me and a mate did the entire thing in an hour - it was pretty easy and we'll get 100% no worries... the marking criteria makes it easy to get full marks.

[Jachie]

my half-yearlies are like week 9 i think? no assessments due beforehand either, wooo.

oh wait, i have an english speech due around then too that i probably won't even think about putting together until the night before i'm due to present it, does that count?

 

[cal-]

i wish i got to do another speech, it's the only thing i'm good at in english essays and DIPTYCHES (WTF) can eat a dick.

 

[m.incognito]

wtf is a DIPTYCHE?!

i got a fucking D for my chem prac today.
massive wtf factor there, i expected at least a B!


AURGHAKDSJFHJKDSFL. should i drop it?

"A diptych is a 2-leaved hinged tablet folding together to protect writing on waxed surfaces; a pictures or series of pictures (as an altarpiece) painted of carved on two hinged tablets; a work made up of two matching parts."

It's fucking retarded, it isn't visual arts. I kicked up a huge stink but my schools English department are idiots, and they wonder why they get bad results year after year...

 

[Rhanoct]

bring them on

 

[tommykins]

Time to make up for my 3unit ranking.

All my half yearlies are theory papers, love life.

 

[ccc123]

Mine are weeks 10-11 me thinks...

Weightings are:

Eng Adv 5%
Eng Ext 10%
Modern 20%
Legal 20%
PDHPE 20%
Maths 30%

 

[Yamiyo]

I'm so glad we don't have a half-yearly English exam (instead we have a speech on BNW/BR during exam week (15%))!
Other than that,
Maths Ext 1: 25%
Maths Ext 2: 25%
Japanese: 30%
Latin Cont: 25%
Latin Ext: 25%
Chemistry: Theory 20% + Prac 20%

Not too bad... I'm more worried about our 15% assessment on Yeats on Friday...

 

[Prosper]

you will surely have one.... we have in total 6 english assessment tasks, a speech, three inclass tasks + half yearly and a trial.


our half yearlies are weeks 10 and 11.
