Actually you can - after the first hour and up to the last 15 minutes.

I advise you not to do so - you have a set amount of time to show what you know to get marks.

If you do leave early and then remember something relevant within the time frame you can't go back - but if you are still in the exam room you can add it.

I definitely would *not* leave a HSC exam as I use every minute; but I didn't know we could leave. That's interesting.

i always seem to finish early (trying to spew out all the answers while i remember them i suppose, however the consequence is terrible, though not illegible, writing), but i don't always leave.

in my bio trial i finished with 30 mins to spare, left, and still got 90% (which was the highest mark). same with business. i only got 70% but that's about my average anyway.

but i probably won't leave in the HSC, just because i hate being the first to get up and leave.

you guys are nuts! I dont even close the exam paper till the last second.

Depending on the exam, i normally finish 25-20 minutes early, and then i immediately turn back to the beging and do the exam again. Often i find stupid mistakes, (i.e. spelling, miscalculations, decimal points in the wrong place, etc.)

I find it hard so hard to understand, why somebody would risk losing potential marks in their final exam of their secondary-school-ing life, just so they can have an extra 20 minutes to stuff around outside.

leaving early = death.
dont do it, its not worth it. you will be walking home, after leaving 20 mins early, whi;st everyone is still writing and you will end up thinking 'oh crap i should have written this!' :bomb:
i guarantee you.
dont risk it, just sit there, and if you must, draw on the tables, i do.. haha.
or as mentioend above, undress people with your mind..?
never done that before but okayyyy...

Why on earth would you leave early? 99% of those who leave early were gonna fail anyway rather than out of confidence.
