That is a complete load of crap :p. Well, you may know what is expected of you, but that does not mean that you will apply such knowledge well in advance of the exam/assessment period.

exams are worth more - and you only get usually one week of stuvac..rather than the heaps of weeks for the HSC

Unless you're at Macq, where you have a two-day Stuvac. :D:(

You're expected to study like mad for a couple of weeks, then switch off again. :p

you people complain and you have stuvac! pft thats enough time to study! think about mac people.... not break at all and with all your essays being due two weeks before exams start and during exams you dont get left with much time

it's annoying to have assessment before finals, no time to study and obligation to do assessment even if they're worth like ten times less than finals :p

so many people are talking about how much the finals are worth..who cares, all that matters is a pass here, for me regardless whether the exam is worth 10% or 90% if u fail the exam u failed the whole thing...

and im so stuffed now because if i fail -> i will have to repeat that subject, but also i cant go on doing my degree so i will lose 6 months at least-> i guess my hecs thing would change so i may have to pay more (whatever happened to that, did they increase it or what) and i would probably be very depressed.

i feel like HSC again... i've got heaps of stress and pressure and everything seems more squashed together... less stuvac, more material, less time... HDs are hard :(
