Title: So...school starts again next week.
Post by: EvangelionZeta on October 03, 2010, 01:10:04 pm
How are we all feeling?  Prepared?  Fearful?  Apathetic?

THE TIME IS NOW!  IMMORTALITY - TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS!

Isn't school only for a week? Then it's back to study at home!

These few weeks are we just going to be given more study materials to do? Given almost all subjects have finished their SACs, I don't really know what's going to be happening for most of the time.

If we didn't have to do an english exam I'd be excited, but nope...I am "shitting" myself.

Are you ready though? My school's eng prac exam was 1-2 months ago. Most people couldn't even write 2 essays in the 3 hours back then. Incredibly draining, so make sure you eat before and after

Post by: Blakhitman on October 03, 2010, 04:34:21 pm
We had the prac exam 2 weeks ago, I managed to write 3 essays but I wouldn't consider myself ready cause they were pretty much 3 blobs of poo on each booklet.

I'm only just starting to seriously prepare for it. I hope I can do it.

Just wondering... is it a good idea to double space in the real exam? Opinions?

hmm not sure but if u dont usually double space, wouldnt it take time to adjust to the new style which you dont want to be doing in the exam??

I don't think examiners are permitted to put a pen to your paper because if you ever request to see it you could use their markings to dispute the mark or something. The only advantage to double-spacing would be neatness, although I think that could be accomplished by just writing more clearly.

The lines are quite generously spaced (think of the lines in the written section of the GAT) so you might not need to double space :)

Not so much for neatness, but if you think of a nice sentence or something and you wanna add it in a bit before, you can't do it if you left no room.

I have 2.5 weeks left. Thank god for my car. It's gonna take a lot of self restraint to even stay in class.
Title: Re: So...school starts again next week.
Post by: LFTM on October 03, 2010, 07:13:49 pm
I still have 2.5 weeks left as well, we only get about 1 week to study which sucks.
Still have 2 sacs to go and feeling really screwed for english and meth.

Post by: _avO on October 03, 2010, 07:17:26 pm
got 2.5 weeks as well (finish on Wednesday the week b4 english exam) and 3 sacs to do next week. I prefer to go to school though this holidays has been very fail for me (procrastination :/) so i'll be more determined to do work there

btw the time should be 1 hr forward!
Title: Re: So...school starts again next week.
Post by: Slumdawg on October 03, 2010, 07:20:13 pm
erghhh school. Most of my teachers are horrible (like think about your worst teacher then imagine a teacher ten times worse and thats what I've got for pretty much every subject except psych), I learn wayyy better at home anyway.

So I'm probably gonna take like half of term 4 off anyway.

I'm gonna be "very sick"...

Can't wait till vce is over. May be the best day of my life to date..

Post by: minilunchbox on October 03, 2010, 08:08:50 pm
2.5 weeks to finish the chem course, methods course and psych course at school with 4 SACs to go.

:|

Just wondering... is it a good idea to double space in the real exam? Opinions?

Haha I tried double spacing for a SAC and kept forgetting whenever I started a new page until around half a page in and then I would forget again when I did new paragraphs. Anyway, I just gave up halfway through and went back to no double spacing.
