In saying this, I will clarify exactly what I mean. I am saying, if your expectations of yourself are causing you to excessively stress (e.g. not sleep, worry alot etc) LOWER THEM- make a realistic aim, one that won't cause you to stress too much!!! If you want to talk to someone about it, as I...

True. To year 10 and any one else for that matter: I have already said some things in relation to this issue but I really can't emphasize strongly enough the importance of recognising when your stress levels are too high and more importantly still, actually DOING something about it. If you...

No, year 11-12. And by majors, we mean Ext English, Ext Maths, Ext 2 English etc. Any of the extension subjects. I did Ext English and Ext Maths. I also did just over a term of Ext 2 Maths at the beginning of Year 12, but my stress levels got too high, so I dropped it. :)

I did Heart of Darkness in Year 11 Ext English. It basically is about English Colonisation. Find a section where they are travelling down the river in the Congo and Conrad is describing the setting and perhaps compare it to a section at the beginning of the text before he leaves? Long time...

It's okay - lol- I probably should add that in on my profile!!!!!

Certainly it does- but it's definitely NOT the be all and end all. I ended up doing well in my HSC, but only AFTER my stress levels got way out of hand in mid-Year 12. So, if it is going to cause you alot of stress (excessive stress we are talking about) in order to obtain that mark, IT IS NOT...

I'm a she! :p But yeah, talk to someone- THEY WILL LISTEN. And always remember, there have been Year 12 students to go through with the HSC before you, AND THEY SURVIVED IT!!!! (Trust me, I'm one of them!!!!!)

Flipsyde- that could almost be me speaking. I only did 2 majors (started out with 3) but I got SO stressed during Year 12. Anyone in class of 2005/6 believe me, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. As Flipsyde said, it is NOT the be all and end all. And aiming for a UAI too high, I did that and therefore ended...

I did Music 1 and I'm in to B Music!!!!

Through UAC, just got B Pyschology with Honours @ UNE But going to QLD : )

Yep, sure is : ) : ) : ) He He He- Lol - wOOT!

Tim, Bunny04 and Ur_inner_child - congratulations!!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!!!

Lol! I keep checking the site in case they have released the 2005 cut-offs. (lol) Unlikely that they would release them before the offers though!!!!! Still....

Congrats! : )

ROFL!!!! I wish I found this forum when I was doing the HSC- particularly with Ext Maths being the painful subject it was!! To continue the thought started way back on the first page...hmmm....chocolate...LOL!! 50TH POST- I just stopped being a junior member!! YAY! : )

Lol! : ) That does seem to be a good idea!!!!!!

How frustrating!!!!! Btw, out of interest, what sort of dog was it?

So, generally, is it more or less work than the HSC? Or is it just relative to how much you personally need to do to achieve what you want? Just curious : )

Personally my favourite novel is Vikram Seth's An Equal Music. However, I think that probably in terms of 'brilliant' writing, Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisionwood Bible is the cream of the crop. The characterisation is amazing. Oh, it terms of humourous writing, I can't go past Hitchhiker's...

You're welcome : )
