2008 Higher School Certificate

[Johns Magic]

LOL that happened to me in my final economics exam.

It was my last HSC exam, I was buzzed about finishing and going to the pub to watch the Melbourne Cup, basically was over the whole thing.

The time ended and I gathered my stuff to hand it in. The teacher comes to pick it up and only then did I realise I'd missed three short-answer questions on the back of one of the pages.

I just shrugged at the teacher and left.

yeah I'm over it all too, couldn't give a sh*t about other subjects, but I've always been pretty good at maths yet never been able to snap up a first position... I think I screwed up my last chance :lol:

oh well I only have a few months of this sh*t left

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

yeah, i semi-played that game JM... (pre-prepared essay), i hated it... even though i was good, i was just pissed off at the rich dumb kids who paid their tutors to write their essays for them. MUCH prefer uni.

The kids who'd come to school and sleep/do nothing all day because they did 4 hours of tutoring a day = f*cked

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

I'm a staunch anti-tutoring supporter... its public education, i.e. ppl who can't afford school... too many kids get an edge coz of sh*t parents (but i suppose if they cbf'd, thats their prerogative)

 

[BWNB]

Thats school. the English exams were about preparing responses the week before the exam and memorising them, not ideal but hey i got through it. Uni is better, it involves alot of self teaching but if you run into problems just ask your tutors and they are more then happy to help.

 

[NK Arsenal]

finally came back to school this week cause of exams :lol:

f**k those 2 weeks off were wonderful

 

[Hallatia]

is anybody's formal coming up in the next few weeks?

 

[NK Arsenal]

yeah mine is, cant remember the date though :lol:

 

[DragonPunk]

Our formal got cancelled

 

[NK Arsenal]

why?

let me guess..some kids wanted to act hard and did something reb and the yr adviser/principal/deputy got sick of the carrrrrnts and cancelled it as punishment for everyone???

 

[Hallatia]

yeah mine is, cant remember the date though :lol:

[Apey]

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.

You can always repeat year 12 champ. And on top of that, you'll have an understanding of how the exams work through previous years HSC papers. The hsc is not easy, but at the same time it's not that hard. It's balanced well.

Fair enough.

At least you dont have to stress as much about UAI or the like. (Not that this makes you inferior to others).
