That's where they always hold it isn't it? And yeah it was pretty cold when I did the MHS exam though just windy and not raining like today... :/
Hope you guys did a good job today (and remember to try out for JMSS the year after ;))

Rule of thumb when taking exams in REB: Wear AT LEAST four layers of clothing.

Yeah I was practically an iceberg when we left and let us out in a tiny place for break ( it was so small I'm fairly sure it was illegal!) anyway I went better than I expected! :)

During the break when I did the exam, we weren't allowed outside so a mate of mine drew a male genital on a random dude's writing task (in pencil)...

He got in to MHS...

>.>

Good times :D

Our tables were clean, but man the writing I was expecting something else... The rest was alright though.

Some of my friends in section one heard some kids saying that they practised 11 essays in and out thinking that they were going to be on it but none of them were so the kids were kind of pissed.

I was (extremely) lucky.  When I did my writing task, it was a topic I already wrote about before. Issues in the News from The Age was a good resource

Getting pissed because an exam didn't go your way: strong maturity.

This might help!

It went better than I expected, although the writing topics were horrible, one was about Neighbours and another about should we pay for elite athletes. Altogether I guessed around 20-30 questions. Royal Exhibition center is also very cold!!! :p

I did not know it was tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

I remember it being kinda warm when I sat it, but then I was sitting close-ish to a heater and my sister who had sat exams there before had warned me about the cold beforehand.
