I emailed board of studies, and they said............

"The scheduling of examinations for all Higher School Certificate courses
within the time period is a complex task. The primary consideration in the
formulation of the timetable is to avoid individual clashes for students.
In addition consideration must be given to the placement of examinations to
allow sufficient time for the marking operation and the processing of
results. This means that some students will be required to undertake two
examinations in one day, and on consecutive days.

I understand your concern at doing six examinations over six consecutive
days but can assure you that many other students will have a similarly
intensive schedule if not more so. For example, some students have 4
examinations over two days or five or six over 3 days. There is simply not
enough examination days to ensure that all students have even a days break
between examinations.

If you have adequately prepared, I am confident you will not find your
examination schedule too rigorous. You additionally will have the added
bonus of completing your examinations within two weeks.

May I take this opportunity to wish you well.

What a load of bull if you ask me...

 

[im jess]

well i have 3 in the first week
2 in the 2nd
then a 13 day gap between my last one in the 2nd week, and my last exam.....

 

[Minai]

sh*t I feel sorry for u, and other "first-week'ers"

"If you have adequately prepared, I am confident you will not find your examination schedule too rigorous. You additionally will have the added bonus of completing your examinations within two weeks"

Oh how considerate of them...

 

[tweakin]

yeah mine is pretty fu.cked aswell...
english on monday
english on wednesday
business on thursday
modern history AND IPT on friday
then maths on the tuesday.

grrrr

 

[dissonance]

yeah I get to start off the exams with a bang...

english paper 1 and music 2 on the first day!

5 of my 6 exams are in the first week...these also include the 2nd adv. english paper, modern history and business studies.

I then get more than a week off for the ext. 1 english exam...

Well I guess my timetable isn't quite as bad as instinct's but I do have the same amount of exams as you do in the first week and no less than two on the first day!

I was pretty pissed about it for a while but it didn't seem to me like it was something that was going to change so I'll have to live with it.....there's other people in the same boat.

 

[PSsylockE]

Yeh thats pretty bad , id really hate to have that kinda timetable

Im pretty happy with my timetable,
I get a day's break between every exam , except for english&business which are next to each other.

..daylight savings oooooo,, is that the good daylight savings, or the bad one??

 

[im jess]

i think its the one where we get an extra hour of sleep isnt it??

hope so!!

 

[timbk2]

it should be the one where the sun goes down alot later than it does now.

its a real bummer now it goes down at like 5pm.

 

[dissonance]

yeah I'm sure we're all hangin out for those long, hot summer nights...

 

[ben]

i hate the fact that I have four in the first week, including three in a row in that first week...

wednesday
ENGLISH morn
DT afternoon
then next morning BUSINESS

argh!

but yeah, other people have it a lot worse.

 

[Striker]

woah you exam timetable is a killer! i feel sorry for you!

nice of them to say:
"If you have adequately prepared, I am confident you will not find your examination schedule too rigorous. You additionally will have the added bonus of completing your examinations within two weeks."

wow, its the exams of your life which will decide what you do for the next few years. (sorry to put it that way).

but hey, don't worry! you get "the added bonus" of an extra long break! <---sarcasm!


lucky my timetable isnt like yours! mines spaced out cept for the business exam being right after then eng paper 2! then i got math the next week with IT the next day after. in the 3rd week i only got legal studies, then economics in the last week!

you must think who i am to talk with my timetable not being so hectic! your right, i'll shut up now!

 

[Minai]

hmm
i dunno if its good or not, but my exams go for the whole month
English AOS and Adv in week1
Math 2 and 3U in week2
physics in week3
economics in week4

i guess mine are obviously more spaced out than the above unlucky ones

 

[ben]

Striker and MinAi you have good timetables

 

[Alex]

I feel sorry for you guys, I am pretty satisfied with my timetable.

I have:

• english on wednesday
• ipt on friday
• maths on the following monday
• Following Monday English Ext 1
• Tuesday Legal Studies
• Wednesday Week Economics

So Im lucky in that I have my exams spread over 4 weeks.

But my trials are F***ED...

5 exams in the first 4 days...... ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[im jess]

yeh i dont like my trial one either
i have 6 in the first week (one of them is my yearly for one of my 1 unit subjects).... so basically i have 5 in the first 4 days too.... and then one on the 2nd last day of them

 

[Morgues]

It might be good to get all the exams over and done with in a short burst while your still very motivated

Mine are spread out over the 4 weeks and I bet by my last exam I will be so over the whole hsc thing I will barely be able to keep myself motivated

 

[christ_ine]

I would have been peeved if I had a shit timetable, but I agree with how they replied. If you are prepared enough, it shouldn't be a problem .. and you can rub it in your friends faces that you finished really early

 

[Minai]

even if u have prepared enough
theres still all that exam stress - all jam packed in a week or 2 for some ppl

 

[Lee]

i first thought my timetable was really crap - all being but two being in the first week. but now i'm actually really pleased with my timetable cause i finish on by 18th b-day so i can go out and party all night without having to worry about studying for another exam!!!...it does mean i have to do an exam on my b-day but it's in th emorning so it wil be over quickly!

 

[Big Willy]

Dont have a cry, i think most ppl out there would have shit times aswell; i know i do
