Nah, English is more fun than *I daresay* maths.

Somewhat agree.

Doing an essay > textbook questions

Doing real maths > English though

I hate essays.

I get into such a roll that I end up writing way too much

 

[JT145]

TY procrastination

staying up until midnight to do homework

 

[enoilgam]

Most people will be finishing in under those times- and only reviewing questions they don't understand.

Even then, it still takes a considerable amount of time to do past papers for MX1 and MX2.

I had a suspicion you were one of them.

This last post hasn't made me less suspicious- I can imagine you laughing as you type it.°

you must be a female, I can smell you

So other HSC and Grammar papers, which other maths 3u/4u papers are worth doing (e.g. independent, ruse, cssa)?

[Solution]

It's all relative to each individual's standards.

True, if she was aiming to state rank for example it would be pretty bad.

I got business back today, 91 and i raged it so i'm in the same scenario anyway.

Marks mean jack. Look at your rank...

and guys she could be raging it because I know schools who mark very easily that an essay that would get 18/20 there would get 10/20 elsewhere.

it's not about individual standards, but more the rank relative to the cohort

 

[seanieg89]

Whatever you do, DO NOT do my school's papers for practice. They are utter shit most of the time!

Also is it possible to do all HSCs since the new syllabus in 2 months? Thats like 60 papers in 60 days right? Doesnt sound too bad...

Of course you could, seems kind of excessive to me though. With each one, the gain to your accuracy/speed would be less and less, whilst still costing you the same amount of time to do.

That said, if you have this time to spare and you think you think there is more room for improvement in speed and consistency (than theoretical understanding and problemsolving) then there's no reason not to go for it.

Totally depends on certain circumstances. It could be for the reason you mentioned above, it could be that someone was expecting to score higher with the effort they input, it could be that a person coming first may not be living up to the highest mark from say last year etc etc. There are a multitude of reasons as to why someone may be disappointed with a mark that may seem decent or good to another.

Although I will agree with you that it is MOSTLY more about the rank relative to the cohort rather than solely about the rank relative to the cohort.

93/100 for Legal Studies (CSSA), lost 5 fucking marks in MC... and my teacher never gives out 25's :'( Oh well, secured first.

How did everyone go? Did your group struggle with the MC as well?

 

[RivalryofTroll]

After the 4U trials devastation last time [72/100], 3U came back and let's say I'm happy.

Got 67/70.

I don't know about rank because too many kids do 3U but mark should be good.
