Had maths today. i think it was ok. But when i get the paper back I'll prob realise I made loads of careless errors. Had English on monday as well. It was ok too, except i left 20 mins for creative, because there was no clock and i had no sense of time (and i didnt have a watch)

aw thanks. Yeah, me too (always run out of time). I don't know how i do it. It doesn't help that I go off on elaborate lines of discussion/novel length plots I guess.

I often don't ha ve time to go off on these elaborate tangents (oxymoronic, lol) which really sustain/develop my thesis. And that bothers me because I always come out thinking "damn, had it not been for time, I would have done better. :(". Hehe.

I had ancient today - fairly confident.
Did music prac yesterday - confident.
I've also done my 2/3 exams for drama (group performance and individual performance) last week. Can't wait for results :)
Drama theory next week.
Apparently, other drama students don't have to do their practical till next term. Is this true for most of you other schoolers?

My school doesn't do just half yearly's, its split up into 5 assesment blocks to mirror the HSC, so we can have as much practise as possible

Had english oral - memerized it and pulled it off
3 hour extension 2 maths exams ..... relativley well i hope
english advanced essay - great
extension 1 maths.... think i might have dropped a mark
and now have geography, economics and extension 1 english coming up...

need to do well if im gonna get into medicine

Today i got to choose my questions for Modern History on Monday =] Haha i love small schools. My english teacher pretty much told me the questions that were in the english exam. I have an open book for Hospitality. Religion/Math/Biology are the only ones i'm worried about.

It's crappy because i have English and Modern History on monday. My arm will be sore as all hell.
I was hoping they would have 1 each day and give us time to study but they've double them up.
 

carrots please!

well our school gave us a copy of question 3 of the English Paper, as that physical journeys essay in itself was an assessment task. The half yearly is 10% weighting (ie sections I and II) and the essay is also a 10% assessment task. Hence, the actual half yearly paper is all up worth 20%

Hey I'm just wondering if you consistently get in the 90s for your assessments/exams and failed 1 would that effect your overall mark dramatically?
