well, i can't say i was stressed out at all, so perhaps i'm not right about this, but i would have imagined that getting inot the exam and finding that your memorised essay points don't fit the question would be more stressful. Knowing that you have practiced writing essays in answer to a wide...

oh dear, asy is having a bad day. leave it doll, we both know the premise is completely flawed but pre-HSC stress doesn't seem to leave much room for anything else but "woe is me"-esque thoughts

there's a difference between defeatist and realist. There's no point in complaining unless you have a viable alternative. If you argue "20 minutes more would be good" where is the cut off point going to be? what stops every year saying "well, we can write excellent papers in 1 hour but in 1...

doll, no1 said you shouldn't know your stuff, that'd be pure idiocy. theres a big difference between knowing quotes and critics and learning your texts and memorising an essay. anyway, mostly we were pointing out, with having done the hsc ourselves, that it is more hinderance than help to...

fossil is the only word doll. but there are good and bad fossils...

yep. and if we can do it...then again, i'm sure we could do lots of things harpy can't...:p

Newcastle in it's swampiness all the way doll. if you end up here just remember insect repellent - if you make it through one year without getting ross river fever we'll have a party! :p

can't say i agree with your maths/english analysis but the rest of it i do...especially the sig :p

yeah, thats what i interpreted it to mean too. doll, dont complain if you get more marks! just stick with what you're doing --> it's more trouble than it's worth to try to change your style now

i luv it how killing is the constant theme through these pages.... what does that say about us then?! :p

lol. it's not ducks fault. we were brainwashed by an evil ancient teacher who knew stuff all. for once, pwaryeux, i agree with you. ange: perhaps you could include a little more evidence in this argument? harpy's obsession with showing stele detailing pharaohs and their involvement in battles...

no, we DO understand how you feel. trust me, the top students everywhere feel the same way. My whole year complained for months about it as we were having tremendous problems with our rankings. but in the end you just have to do it. Look at what you just wrote: in a way, this DOES test your...

gotta luv the attitude of the post-HSCers. "we had to do it so so do you. shut up!" classic *huggles*

i completely agree. an E3U student is expected to know their material in so much more depth that 60min to complete an essay or creative piece is considered equivalent to 40min for Paper 2. The ability to pick out the most important and relevant pieces of information and express these concisely...

ummm, couldnt tell u exactly what my school marks were (or actual HSC marks i only remember bands...) but they were fairly high. it would have been 99% for school but my teacher and i had a small *cough* argument about a speech (which she so marked unfairly!! *resentful rant*) which took me down...

hmmm...your description sounds like the amino acid research coupled with beta chain of haemoglobin - is this what you meant? coz im sure that that research is about using DNA evidence and blood components to identify evolutionary links in terms of humans. then again it was a while ago i did that...

exactamolly.......

i agree - many people find that they prefer extension english to advanced. i blame journeys

*rolls eyes* reminds me of legal studies..."find evidence for your case children"

excellent team effort going here
