We are of course living in Australia, where the predominant or national language is English. You don't want people who can't communicate in English to state the state overall!

 

[bobo123]

i think you'll find that not many jobs involve citing texts for meaning and relationship to ' changing perspective'.Most courses have enough english in them

 

[snakeoils]

Our exams start on the 1st April... except for Ancient History, which is an oral, which is NEXT WEEK

English Adv - On 'My Place' - 1 hour - 10%

English Ext 1 - Genre essay - 1 hour - 5%

General Maths - 2 hours - 25%

Business Studies - Topics 1+2 - 3 HOURS - 10%

and for English Ext 2 we have nothing.

 

[malayz_angel]

Yeah mine were meant to start on the 24th March but then they were postponed a week. I don't have a half yearly for Modern History, its gonna be assessment based. I don't know about the rest of the timetable yet, but I have an economics assessment 2morrow, an English assessment on Monday and an Ancient History assessment on Thursday. Plus a trip to Milson's Point for Sparta lectures on Friday and a trip to Canberra on Tuesday and the beginning of our Peer Tutoring group(we help Year Sevens who have reading difficulties) and an English Extension assignment the week after! Oh yeah, and then half yearlys. I'll be lucky to make it out of this alive!

 

[tt_j65]

you guys are lucky. our half yearlies are all crammed into 1 week, with double subjects each day

arghhh

except physics doenst count :apig: phew..

 

[InfiniteQ]

Check this out for dumb... 2 papers for the English HY right.
Area of Study bit there is 2 parts to it.. one's a written paper and the other's an oral. The Written is worth 15%, oral is 5%
And then for that Lear thing the second paper... that's worth TWO POINT FIVE PERCENT. 2.5% what is the bloody point of even doing it?!

 

[snakeoils]

yeah, our school was going to have a whole lot of little crap marks and stuff, but they came to their senses

 

[babydoll_]

MONDAY - English AOS (1.5 hr)
TUESDAY - English Adv (1.5 hr)
WEDNESDAY - Morning: Mathematics (3 hr!!!)
Afternoon: Biology (2 hr)
THURSDAY - FREE!!
FRIDAY - English Ext 1 (1 hr)

MONDAY - Chemistry (2 hr)

Then I'm home free!!

Mine start in week 10... and most of em are worth about 20, 25%

I think having exams that don't count would very much shit me cos you're doing all this studying for something that doesn't count when you should be concentrating on assessments but thats just my opinion I know other ppl are different

thats why when you find that one of your exams doesnt count, you skip the study for it and its basically one less exam you have to study for. i was happy with that.

 

[malayz_angel]

Yeah I'm pretty happy with my timetable. It's spread out over two weeks

Monday-- English Advanced (speech)
Tuesday--Maths
Wednesday--Ancient History
Thursday--History Extension
Friday--Free

Monday2--Free
Tuesday--Economics
Rest of the week FREE

I don't have any exam for Modern and nobody's said anything about English Ext1 yet. And of course Ext 2 is just the major work

To think of all the shit that i learnt in 2 weeks just for 1 weeks worth of exams god dam it our brains must be crammed and to think we only use like what is is 30 % of our brain! Come on the extra 70 woud be of good use to me!!!!!! Anyhoo they werent as bad as i thought although i probably failed bio and passed business but onyl just... guess ill just have to wait fr my results... bloody teachers some of them i spoken to have marked them already but they wont tell me... AHHH its frustraing OMG
english AOS HARD HARD HARD LONG LONG LONG my god if i came across that shit in the HSC paper id be screwed thank god it wasnt an assessment.... the essay was ok though even though i onyl had 25 minutes to do it as opposed to the given 40... kinda spent too much o the language

 

[FadeToBlack]

fri: FREE
mon- eng advanced morning, religion afternoon
tues: FREE
weds: FREE
thurs- eng extension
fri: IPT morning, legal afternoon
mon: Business
tues: FREE

we have already recieved the questions we are gonna be asked for religion and eng advanced...thats pretty cool, im not sure why they do it tho... im not complainin, i just hope i get round to studying, planning/preparing the questions

ive been having a major lack of motivation lately tho, more so than usual and its a real problem, hence my late beginning of study routine..damn HSC
