this thread is stupid... you should be proud of yourself if you got a band 5.

 

[ahhliss]

I got 5 for English and Science, 4 for History and Geography. Just the School Certificate, no biggie. My mum was disappointed though

i'd second that, band 5 is above average guys!!

 

[jessica.ann]

the sc does not mean a thing
i did mine hungover and without studying. dont panic
u shud b goin on to hsc for ureself and no one else.... its not about ur mum anymore.. its goin to b alot of work and u hav to want it for yourself...

my advice. fix any probs u hav in year 11 and then go flat out in yr 12. nothing u previously did matters... start everythin afresh in year 11....

good luck

a band 5 mark is a brilliant result, so dont get down on yourself if u got one!!!

I got band 5 for English, Maths, Science and Geo. But for Eng and Maths, I JUST missed out on band 6 by 1 one mark. Science and Geo, I missed out by 2-3 marks.
*fumes*

If you got band 5 you should be proud thats an awesome mark
Even 4's and 3's aren't that bad
When you think about the marks, band 3 is between 60 and 70 it's still a clear pass

 

[St. Eve]

In my opinion, band 1 and 2 is poor
band 3 is acceptable if the subject is a weak subject for you
band 4 is good, unless the subject is one of your strengths
band 5 is excellent, and if you get straight 5s you should be happy
band 6 is brilliant, if you get band 6s then you should be very happy.

If you put the effort in to get straight 6s you wasted your time.

I would have to disagree about the effort for band 6's thing as creating good study habits that mean you achieve high marks helps you develop a firm foundation for future study in the much more important HSC, but that's what I think anyway

If you achieved what you set out to achieve, then that's all that matters.

SC developing good study habits? No way.

At best, it will get you abit accustomed to what cramming is like but quite frankly, many people (like me) haven't developed the systematic and ordered approach to studying required by those completing their HSC - such as revising daily, constantly updating notes and so forth. Studying for the SC is, in reality, represented by a week of continuous cramming of basic points and information - nothing more.

Well, that's what I think anyway.

Once your into your HSC course you have 100 times more motivation to study than for your SC.

it helped study and subject skills for me but everyone is different (see above)

no not really.

The majority of people don't study everyday for their HSC. Most people didnt start studying constantly until STUVAC. (2-3 weeks before the HSC).

Really? Sure as hell wasn't the case when I asked some guys from Year 12. They said that even though they weren't stressing themselves out too much, they would update their notes and do some mild study everyday.

As for having more motivation to study during the HSC than the SC, I reckon that would be true. In contrast to my week's worth of cramming for the SC, I plan on studying fairly consistently throughout the HSC period - not enough to cause me to burnout though.

Ok so i go to a school ranked in the top 200 in the state, out of the 170odd students i would say only around 10 studied throughout the year. The rest just crammed or didnt study at all. But if you ask people at the selective schools (ranked top 30) there would be a higher % of people studying throughout the year. Truth be told they are the people who get the higher UAI's.

I didn't study for the SC at all because i knew it was a joke and a complete waste of time. As for the HSC the motivation levels weren't "100 times higher", i really couldn't bring myself to study throughout the year, cramming a couple days before tests, and a week before the trials. I finally said to myself, if i am going to get into USYD eco, i really need to study before the HSC. So i studied for like 3 weeks before the HSC and that was easily enough in all subjects bar mathematics in which requires constant study. In saying that, what i get for my UAI could reflect my poor study habits or not-so. .
