2008 Higher School Certificate

[Hallatia]

last night the HSC time table came out, (I would post it, but it is a pdf) I can finally see the end, but it is daunting, what did everybody else doing the HSC think of the schedule?
I was hoping to have a free month before fizzix instead, I have a weekend, on the Friday extension one eaxam, but otherwise it was alright, went: Friday 19(English common paper), Monday 22(english advanced paper), Friday 26(maths), Monday 29(Society and Culture), Friday 2(Extension One English), Monday 5(fizzix), Thurday 8(Information Technology), there is no extension two exam

If you don't go well, that's the end of your career as anything.

This is it, your whole future right here.

You f*ck this up, you f*ck up your whole life.

Good luck.

a lot of IT is social, I will tell you the names of all the competencies, the HSC ones
I think completng HSC IT counts as a certificate 2 in IT

Using Commercial Computing
Access the Internet (that one was just too easy, that is for the stupid people)
Maintain Equipment and Consumables
Maintain Systems Integrity
Install Software Applications
Maintain Equipment/Software
Identify Components of Multimedia
Oral and Written Communication
Database Operations

I have a mate who got a Star, and well lets just say hes f**ked.


Seriously, f**k this up and you will be washing cars for the rest of your life.

I f**ked up in year 12, badly. Didn't get the score i needed for the only uni course i wanted to do.
Was unemployed for the good part of 9 months, now i work in a job i don't like 90% of the time for next to nothing per hour.

Yeah, regret.

 

[Hallatia]

Ï love how encouraging everybody is, what is a Star stranger?

4 exams in the one week, sh*t!!!

best case for me is media and communications in Sydney (98), you should look into that one, the course is amazing, it pretty much guarantees you a job in the industry and you can get in on flexible entry

 

[Stranger]

A star is when you get less than 30 UAI. They don't actually give you a uai cause its that sh*t.

 

[Stonecutter]

I've got the HSC next year. I'm doing Adv Maths, Adv English, Chemistry, Biology, and I'm not sure which one to drop; Geography or Modern History.

 

[Hallatia]

Modern History is better for your UAI, it is one of those subjects whre if you get above the average it will boost your UAI by a few points

 

[Stonecutter]

Yeh I was leaning towards MH, less time and work involved.

 

[Hallatia]

but isn't Modern History far more difficult? I have heard that the three hardest subjects are Physics, Modern and Advanced English, so each of them will give you bonus UAI points for beating the average (I do two of them)

 

[Stonecutter]

So far it isn't. We've done the French Revolution and Russian Revolution so far which havn't been too difficult. TBH it has been a real bludge so far this year but maybe they up the ante next year. I'll see how I go this year and probably make a decision based on marks.
