How did your Half-Yearly Exams go (Post-exams feelings) (1 Viewer)

[lilsxcwog89]

Im glad to have finished my half-yearly examinations.

My exams literally killed me, and it strange that I only had four exams (Modern History, G.Maths, Legal Studies and Biology)

Well how did the rest of you go in your exams. Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings.

Hey

I started my exams on monday. Ive done advanced english and ancient history.

English was crap I have to go back this holidays and relearn all my work because I did not prepair my notes well enough to be able to get a good mark.

Ancient history was 3 hours. Ive never had a three hour exam before. Towards the last hour I was gettin really tired and not conentrating properly. It will show through my work.
Pompeii and Herculaneum was easy I knew most of the information could have known about the forum and religion better but ohh well. It was good having a 3 hrs exam gives me practice.

I have Aboriginal studies on thursday.. another 3 hour exam...
However im most lookin foward to legal and not lookin forward to modern history since i have never been able to get my head around reliability and perspective!!!!!!!

Hey ive noticed that theres not ABoriginal studies forum onnnn the site >??????

Just had maths x1 this morning, finished early and very satisified with the exam. Yesterday I had economics and did alright in that, most of my other mates didn't finish on time (but I did). Still got 4 assessible and 2 non-assessible exams to go.

did second english paper today... it went ok, at least i wrote a lot which i took to be a good sign. they did give us a feature article, however. i hate those. lol by the end of the second question my writing was just a scrawled mess with like 4cm spacing between words, usually its more like 2cm. good thing i had some time at the end; i had to write over the last 2 sentences in felt pen to make them readable.

i finished my exams today... this is what i think of them...
adv english - alright, above average i hope...
jap cont speaking 15-16/20 (like always)
maths 3U - ill be happy if i get over 70%
eco - ... cough... cough...
maths 2U - too easy, but i still stuffed up 1 question
sdd - not too hard, but some questions were wtf!?!?!
jap cont listening - too easy, top my class again
jap reading/writing - reading was easy, but i ALWAYS miss out on fine details, bit scared about my composition though... i dont think i used enough SS...

but not that theyare OVER, i dont care anymore!!!! its not like i can do anything... so 5 day weekend, and then back to school for 4 days where i get all my exams back

Halfway through my hellish exam period. So far done English Paper 1 and Paper 2 plus Mathematics Extension 2.
English papers were alright, nothing too hard. Mathematics Extension 2 on the other hand was F***** hard!!! Left out a few questions and gave up on many others. Freakin' hell, like 50% of the paper was HARDER EXTENSION 1 TOPICS!!!!!! The other half of the paper had actual Extension 2 topic questions (Graphs, Complex Numbers, Conics) that we had covered. Those harder Extension 1 questions are those that I have never seen before; not at school nor in tutor, prior to this exam....There was even a single 8 mark proof question...WTF???!!!! I'd be very lucky to get above 70% for this test...

Trebla- How did your other classmates in MX2 go? Because if they stuffed up as well, you may still maintain that rank even if you didn't think you did so well.

 

[pLuvia]

Did alright in the Jap Ext test, composition writing not so good, the english part very good
Maths 2u was way too easy too bad it doesn't count

 

[Loz_metalhead]

-English was ok.
-Math was so much easier than last years half yearly exam...I thought it would be harder...doesnt mean I went well though. Lol. Finished about 45mins early...
-Catholic studies...meh who cares.:rofl:
-Business Studies-not to bad. I needed an extra 5 mins to finish the business report properly though. Didn't have time to go back and check over answers.

I have Economics, Biology and Chemistry next week.

hey what was your modern question for weimar? i have mine tomorrow

Had first half of modern history paper today was on The First World War and its Aftermath 1914-1921 but based around the homefront as we already did a test earlier in the year on the war-front.

Worth only 5% the exam consisted of 4 short answer responce and 2 extended response questions exactly the format I expect although a little disapointed with my responses although that was the general feeling of the class.

On monday we do the second part also worth 5% 1 essay question on the Weimar Republic.

Good Luck for tomorrow hopeles5ly!

physics was alrite, not as hard as i would've expected it to be.

everyone came out of the exam saying they did crap... i know i did crap. forgot how to do some of the questions. exm-1 is going to kill me this year.. ><!

hey what was your modern question for weimar? i have mine tomorrow

good luck! our question was something like "Explain the collapse of Weimar democracy in the lead up to 1933, using the economic implications of the Treaty of Versailles as a focal point" or something. i cant remember the exact words, only my reaction (horror) because i didnt really study that aspect much, lol. i thought it was all gonna be on hitler... but i hope you go well tomorrow,
