Guys, its it weird that im not stressed at all? I feel really…odd…about that. Like i havent studied as much but, im ok with it? Like i feel calm? ITS FREAKING ME OUT? I feel like i should feel more scared but i genuinely dont, i just feel like im doing prelims or trials. Its so weird. Anyone else?

I feel like it’s good tho like if ur overly stressed it can impact ur performance. I’m nervous but like you know u can get it done.

No cause I flopped my math trial solely bc I was so stressed I made the dumbest mistakes 🥲🥲 besides you overcame trials so yk ur time management!!

that sounds so good, obv its too late for me, but would you recommend?

okay time for me to yap lol

see i feel like what is better totally depends on what time in the school year it is - in the leadup to exams like trials and ofc now, it is far nicer to be able to only need to study 3 subjects instead of 5/6. i also feel way more confident in my exams now because i’ve already done half of them and i have a good idea of what to expect

during the school term though my thoughts are mixed. ofc i never experienced the mainstream way of getting the hsc so i have no idea what that’s like, but everything needing to be done at 2x speed can be really stressful. some of my classes have been astronomically behind and we’ve needed to skip through content to catch up again, because days off and lessons where nothing gets done adds up at double speed. 1 day off in compressed curriculum is 2 days off mainstream, that builds quickly and it can get super overwhelming.

end of the day i think even if i had the opportunity to do mainstream i would have chosen to do compressed anyways. it’s meant i haven’t been able to do any subjects with a major work because time constraints (i’m still sad about ext eng 2) but i consider that a fair trade. i’m very grateful right now to have done it, because it’s allowing me to really hone in on just 3 subjects as opposed to having to try and study like 5/6. i do not have good enough time management for that

[aqwerty13402]

worst feeling is the day before the exam thinking if you have done enough. once the day comes its too late to worry anyway

[lyingsalsa]

just try to do as many physical papers as possible, away from any screen

I haven't done a reflection either

 

[lyingsalsa]

im praying you get to do an imaginitive

I haven't done a reflection either

tbh there probably wont even be a reflection. I think it'll be a 20 mark imaginative because they did a 20 mark discursive a while ago

 

[appleali]

im hoping they dont do 5 15 analysis and piece split like they did in 22 that would be horror

they did a 20 mark imaginative in 2020, there hasn't been a 20 mark discursive.

wait was the discursive specified? That's concerning because I only have a 10 mark discursive

i unfortunately could not cook with a 20 discur

I'm looking at that right now and wtf...I can imagine students that year would have assumed that any on-the-spot analysis was done and over with in paper 1, only to find this monstrosity

 

[appleali]

does anyone have a list of like broad ideas that are versatile and i can use in case of needing to freeball to a stimulus for a narrative
still desperate thanks
