Year 12 Class of 2013, REPORT HERE!

[s.ay]

I've attempted studying for chem and bio... methods not so much

[simba]

We don't even start our year 11 exams until the 26th! My school kept pushing them back. Oh well, I guess it gives me more time to study

[nosuperstar]

when do you finish school then? does your school do year 12 induction in year 11? I think that's why mine are early, induction goes for 2 weeks at my school, so for me to finish at the end of nov, exams have to be early.

Yeah we do, but we don't start until the 2nd of december, and our induction is only a week
That sucks, but good luck with your exams!

ONLY ONE?! 
apparently we're having a SAC for English too during induction, I don't even get why their allowed to do that, my mind is not prepared for SAC's yet, let alone ones that have an effect on my ATAR.

I highly doubt they will have a SAC during induction week.. You guys havent even read the books you need for your exam next year

[pi]

Some people do their oral presentations during this time. Uncommon but not unheard of.

Yeah, but I go to a pretty below average public school. Hopefully I can still manage decent marks though
I didn't even know they allowed that

[Stick]

I've managed to do some study for Unit 2 so that I don't walk into the exam completely clueless, but with Further as the priority, I haven't been overly thorough in my revision.

[nosuperstar]

There's rumors going around that it's an oral presentation that goes for 15 mins, sounds a bit ridiculous seeing as we'll probably only have 5 English induction classes and won't get through everyone, but my legal teacher who also teaches English said that it's most likely an oral presentation. Probably on an issue.

I am so envious Stick, 40/40, what modules did you do?

[Stick]

I did modules 2, 3 and 4, although now I keep having these worrying thoughts about filling out the answer sheet incorrectly (I'm almost certain I did it right - I just cannot help having irrational thoughts).

My head start is also only one week (although there's an extra week for Specialist students) and we are starting with the issues oral. I doubt many schools would start presenting them during this time, but I guess you never know.

[simba]

40/40, good effort!!
I dropped one mark on the last networks question, shattered.

A 15 minute oral presentation is just excessive. In year 12 English it's only between 3 - 6 minutes I believe. I secured 95% on mine and it only went for 5:36. It's the quality of your speech, not how long you can regurgitate facts. It's understandable if a 15 minute oral is in the Philosophy or Literature study designs, but not English.

That's ridiculous, not to mention it would take like a week and half worth of classes just for everyone to present..

[Stick]

Exam 2 is over! NO MORE FURTHER!!! This exam, unlike exam 1, was at the right level - not too easy and not too difficult. I probably lost a few marks but still hoping I did well overall.
