had maths today, last one :D !!! despite my hatred for the subject i will concede it was a pretty easy test, i'm predicting at least high 80's to 90's. although if it wasnt for the formula sheet i dont know if i would have done this well, lol.

i got my results for half of my exams today ...

1st in physics out of 12
1st in 4 unit maths out of 5
2nd in 3 unit maths out of 16

chemistry i did really well but teacher is too lazy so havent got it back yet ... hoping to get 1st or 2nd

english advanced ... hoping to get in the top 10 but yeh i did well than i normally do, our exam was basically paper 1 .. my essays were good but screwed up comprehension

software ... well i always get top just hope i get top this time...

overall im happy with half yearlies ... i wanted to go well this time to prove my chemistry teacher wrong because i didnt do homework twice and he said i dont have the potential to do well in year 12 ...

English Advanced AOS essay exam today!

The question was similar to the exam question we had last night so I was able to memorise my last essay and add in extra information linking it all back to the question. I think i do alright I was able to remember all my texts and techniques :).

Two more 1/2 exams to go Term 2 Week 1 General Maths and Term 2 Week 2 SDD.

And nobody wished me luck but it seems I didn't need it or did I.......

My results are as follows: (all in percentages rounded up to nearest percentage)

MAT: 93% rank: no idea (easy, made silly mistakes)
MATX: 80%, Rank: 6th (long and bits of it hard, wasted too many time showing irrelevent working)
MATXX: 80%, Rank: 2nd (it was hard but I should have known how to do them especally complex numbers)
BIO: 80%, Rank: 5th (Easy exam but lost marks due to carelessness and forgetting sometihng like the repetition step in a method)

Havent got back chem or phy. Hope to break the eighty barrier in my next assessments. I reckon my marks stink but at least my rankings are a bit high.

i dont have my results yet. the exams started last monday and finished yesterday. i think i went pretty good. i had advanced english, general maths, hospitality and textiles. i dropped exploring and i do tafe too and there is no exam for that. but hospo was the easiest, it was a relief cuz we were stressing so much at the fact we had to know all of year 11 as well as what we have done in year 12 so far.

the best thing about exams is that you only go to school if you have an exam! loved that. so i had 4 days off!

My last half yearly will be in week 2 Term to so yes very late ;).

As for results once the exam is over I try not to think about it again until I get the marks back after all whats done is done.
