I had English Paper 1 on Thursday, which was just on the Area of Study. Fairly happy in that regard, I managed to write 16 full pages overall in 2 hours.

Had Physics yesterday, very very easy. The only thing was that one of the formulas, for centripetal force wasnt on the formula sheet (which was strange because it had the Board of Studies insignia on the top), so anyway we only got told that the formula wasnt there in the last 5 mins, a few ppl were annoyed because they spent valuable time trying to figure out what was going on. I personally remembered the formula, but that question prob will be taken out. Anyhow, when the director of studies found out, apparently she had a scream fest over the phone to someone about it. So someone is in trouble.

Next week I have 3 maths test, but they are fairly evenly spread - 2u monday, 3u wednesday and 4u friday. Also Chem on monday and English paper 2 (in the wild) on friday.

I've done 4 exams with 2 left to go. English had an easy question which was good considering how little I had prepared for it. Physics had a lot more science in it than I had expected, I faired pretty average on that test. The Chemistry exam was too easy, finished with 20 mins to spare (out of 60). 4U math wasn't too bad but our school kinda messed up 'cause they made an addition to a question (6 mark question out of a 39 mark exam) in the form of an A4 insert and they didn't announce it so heaps of kids missed it... good luck comparing that. 3U english is on monday, which I need to start, and 3U maht is tuesday.

English Advanced - didn't to too bad (i hope), kinda cut i didn't get to write a conclusion with my second essay. Hoping for a decent rank, (eg, 50-60ish out of 160)

Mathematics - did well, pissed about losing a few marks - stupid x^2 + 1 doesn't factorise :mad: - overall i should get 95% or more.

Physics - HOLY FUCKING SHIT FAIL! I'm hoping for about 40-45%. (fucking prac & process)

Economics - didn't do too badly, i wrote a pretty bad essay imo. hoping for a 50/60 mark. probably put me around 17-18ish out of the 45 people doing eco.

Haven't done 3u maths or legal studies yet.
