maybe other ppl are more suited to answer this than me but this was the case in the maths ext 1 and 2 hscs, extra writing booklets were blank ofc, but the invigilators gave us time to fill in every page with our numbers after the exam time finished while they watched each of us (it took forever cause you had to wait till they got to you). it would be really petty if they just made it so you have to use exam time to write it cause then no way anyone finishes paper 2. its not like they're able to accept papers without correct numbering anyway.

Yeah I did an accelerated HSC last year they had me write my student number on everything after I finished the exam.

Is it normal to only study 3-5 hours a day for the HSC? I hear people on Tiktok and stuff studying for 8+ hours and that just sounds so draining that I’d actually die

having to study so much means ur iq might not be that high

Does IQ even measure anything???

It's a measure of your brain's slowness/fastness. "are you slow" is an insult towards someone's low IQ

That might have been rhetorical lmao

the most i can hit is 6 i think these next few days ill try 7-8, anything more than 8 hours is an absolute no

I know that but those IQ tests are pretty arbitrary and all they test is pattern recognition. Intelligence is like a bunch of different things and can’t be simplified into a number. My parents have 'high IQs' apparently... my dad went to NSB before everybody took courses to pass the entrance test, but that doesn’t mean anything really bc he dropped out

8+ hours feels insane to me, even the concept of studying that much in uni. I feel that at some point the work you put in doesn’t amount to any benefits and just makes you tired... I noticed people who study Humanities study for longer amounts of time. I don’t study any content heavy subjects like those except Chem, which I’ve lowkey been neglecting lol.

yes bro the only reason im putting extra hours is bc i severely need to for english

ppl who are studying 8 hours+ i guarantee they havent done jack all year and theyre bragging abt their 10 hour crams to others

I think lots of people are predicting 10/10 split with a choice of creative or discursive. Imo, I think NESA will make the reflection be on the provided stimulus rather than your two mod c texts.

thankyouuu <333

Yeah definitely. I’ve been locked in the whole year, so that’s helped me enough that I don’t have to study so much any more.

I suck at reflections and hate practicing them so bad. Should I come up with a formulaic structure for my Mod C reflection and like 2-3 quotes?

as someone who also hates reflections and fudges their way through them decently well, I would recommend memorising a nice conceptual sentence for your purpose, and then just knowing some key techniques that you use - knowing which of your prescribed texts have those techniques means you can link them (you don't have to quotes the prescribed text) - as long as you have analysis of your work and are able to link them well to purpose you should be good!

That sounds like enough, just make sure you have a conceptual intro statement iykwim

 

[bigupsanky]

heyy does anyone have any predictions for mod c

depends on the english u do. at least in standard they might ask a persuasive only question. idk about reflection though but rumour has it that there can be a 12/8 split

 

[Snoopy:)]

Guys is it bad that I'm still burnt out? I have only written one essay for english
I'm so cooked but it's fiiinnnnnneeeeee (definitely)
