Tests where you're allowed your own notes are really really bad. Some genius always thinks he's so cool printing out the entire syllabus dotpoints with Size 5 font, back to back on three pages of notes. :p
I agree. They are absolutely pathetic. However, I won't complain because I will benefit from this pathetic task. By the way, the notes must be hand-written & I am not allowed to write front to back. Teachers also said that they will look at our notes as well. So I just wrote only the important information that I cannot really memorise (sentences full of big words, teachers will feel that they are marking the Extension 2 English HSC work rather than Chemistry Preliminary exam).

can you write really really small and use a magnifying glass to read it?

If I write really really (really --> infinity) small, teachers would not be able to read it & I will lose marks. :mad1:

On top of that, I don't think I can write really really (really --> infinity) small.

But I will make sure that I fill up those 3 pages.

But the teachers say they're going to check it, but they don't really. It's just to scare a couple of people - but the real desperate will just write their entire essay at home, and copy it in the exam. They include their notes when they hand it in, but the teacher doesn't even read it.

Notes in a Chem test? What do you have to learn then?

Well, when you get 95+ (read 100) for 2U, don't forget to look at all your friends...
Well. I won't be happy with less than 98. I need to live up to my school's acceleration tradition.

Meh.Today is crap. i got tonsillitis and it sucks.
1. because it hurts like a bitch
2. because it means i miss out on school and will have stuff to catch up on
and 3. because my other computer just had a spaz and stuffed up so i have to get it repaired. so I'm on the little mac laptop. which has absolutely no games on it to amuse me=[.

I've got two essays and a test to study for so i guess i can do them instead of gaming. but gosh. what a pain.

I think you're all taking the HSC far too seriously.
Life really dosen't revolve around whether you succeed in one exam that takes place once in your life
You're right. But a lot of people want to get it right the first time.

Anyways - Phys prac outta the way - Chem prac tomorrow - last exam!!!

The weather was crappy today.

Legal mid-terms: 98% Rank: first.
CaFS mid-terms: 92% Rank: second.
Business mid-terms: 84% :( Rank: don't know, don't care.
Overall Economics rank: first.

A load of my teachers will be going to the Zone Cross Country tomorrow.
Hopefully that'll mean less work.
