I guess it depends on which subject, as in it differs, but i do feel there is an over emphasis on memory (but thats not saying that the sole factor is memory)

The HSC measures one's ability to sell one's soul, to devote thousands of hours of free time to learning a whole heap of bullshit that you do not want to learn. It's about having knowledge rammed down your gullet with the threat that if you do not do well, you will end up as a street-sweeper.
"My son said 'daddy, I don't wanna go to school, 'cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool. And all the kids smoke reefer; I think it'd be cheaper if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper. I'd dance to the beat, shuffle my feet, wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps. 'Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny..."
Those Grandmaster Flash lyrics came flooding over me and I just had to type them. Anyway, the HSC is a waste of time. It doesn't measure anything of value, in short. I cannot see why so many limp-wristed people on this site get all wound up about the HSC. I just hope that many of you don't walk out of the exam room for the last time and think 'gee, I wasted a whole year of my precious youth. And for what? A number that nobody will even care about in a year's time".
Think about it, people.
that's because you're children who know nothing and have nothing interesting or useful of your own to contributeHello2U2 said:how well you can bow to the will of the BOS.
seriously, the whole thing is so PACKED that even the most intelligent of people hardly have time to express their own original thoughts. And if they do, they soon realise it goes largely unappreciated.

shut up and start memorising facts

lol, do you even do economics?Shanku said:They want you to put your own thought into it rather than regurgitating rote memorised statistics and facts (unless you're doing something like Economics)
