Is anyone else's school doing the same? (1 Viewer)

[nonconformist_]

I've already completed my Biology Prac assessment (which i thought was EASY!). I have General Maths on Tuesday and Legal and Modern History both in week 10.
Not sure if our schools science faculty is giving us our Chem exam this term though

 

[Sendoh08]

Basically my school is flooding me with assesments for every subject in the space of about two weeks, this seems a little ridiculous. Anyone else's school like this?

I had the same thing last year. I heard from most of my other selective school friends that its really common =)

Take it one at a time- if you use your time according to the weighting, plan ahead of time and do them in order you should be fine. remember it's just the beginnign of Yr12 for you guys- not the be all and end all!

Same But i thought this was normal? We've been doing this like since forever

I've had literally 1-2 weeks apart for all my assessments so far. This has been a really relaxed/chilled term. We get a lot done in class, but assessment wise it has been well planned.

I'm sure most of you are all going to get your study 'technically' done by these xmas holidays. (woo 9 weeks of xmas study XD)

A lot of schools like to have one assessment task in each subject before the end of this term (25% into the course) but students need to have something on which to be assessed so it has to be later in the term. My school used to mandate that the last week of term (week 7 or 8) was a Year 11/12 assessment week but that has become more relaxed now with some assessments in one week and the others in the next and some subjects holding off until week 2 of term 1 next year.

well, our assessment exam week, all exams are squashed into 1 week, that is week 8

 

[nifkeh]

Lol @ some of you guys who are complaining about a 2 week assessment period.

My assessments are from 28th Nov - 4th Dec (1 week). I have MX2, MX1, 2U, Eng Adv, Chem, Eco, Legal. Eco and MX2 on same day. So yep, cuntsfucked.

I have english and ancient on same day, and physics prac and maths ext 1 on same day

Eh, assessments in our school are all in Week 9, but that provides us with a formidable amount of time to study beforehand, of course. Is anyone else not having their English Advanced assessment this term?

 

[atar90plus]

Yep! Assessments from week 6 to week 10

 

[I am the Law]

Yea man I estimate this to be the case for a majority of current yr 12 students. This gives us adequate time within the six week holidays to study for half yearlies in term 1 and some in week 2.

thats the harsh reality of yr12 bro

 

[resourceater]

Yes, I feel as if the faculties are all colluding..

"oh, resourceater has a sunday free?"

"that cannot be!"

We're lucky our teachers weren't cunts and gave us our assignment much earlier then usual. Lets be honest, we have it much better then most people here in terms of the time we have.

 

[someth1ng]

It's a good way to prepare you for the stress of assessments/exams. A 2 week gap is PLENTY for assessments - stop complaining.

 

[hayabusaboston]

Because every faculty seems to think they are the most important. (at least from my experience, especially english)

PE can fuck itself.

 

[suprwoman101]

Death weeks is 7+8.

I think they try to break the record each year for the amount of students having a complete nervous breakdown over assessments during death weeks.

 

[mrbananaman]

Have to say, my school has been incredibly good with these first assessments.
Week 5- Modern
Week 6- Ext 2 English Viva and English Adv
Week 7- Ancient (also maths for those who do it)
Week 8- Business

Pretty evenly spaced
