Year 12 Class of 2013 Discussion Thread

That's why I use BOTH my hands to write. Relieves stress so much it's not funny.

I use a fountain pen (yes, I'm one of those people that writes with their *special pen* for all their sacs and exams, I even have a little bottle of ink in my pencil case for those *just in case* moments) but when I write with my left it comes out all smudged =\

I mean, I could write slower and let the ink dry, but then what's the point of doing that in an exam
(changing to a ball point pen is just out of the question XD)

Back page of Herald Sun tomorrow: "nliu1995 announced as number 1 draft pick for 2014 AFL season"

"Selectors unsure if nliu1995 is his real name."

i can multitask with both my hands as well. but it usually isn't as productive if you know what i mean.

Disclaimer: my left hand's writing is about 70% the speed of my right, is slightly messy (though perfectly legible if slow) and would not be used for more than thirty seconds. Its main purpose is to allow my right hand to rest for a bit while continuing writing.

Anyone else shitting bricks for exams like I am?
On a side note, I had my Year 12 Formal on Friday night, and I can say that it was probably one of the best nights of my life! Going to miss high school life, right now I can't imagine my life without it!

Does anyone else have their Valedictory AFTER Exams?

The only thing scaring me now is my SAC's

I know there's a thread on it already, but what would happen if there's a discrepancy between my SAC marks and my exam marks? Even when taken into consideration my cohort, which may be weak.

I mean, an example is Further where I think my SAC average is a B+, but for exam one, I lose about 3 marks, and exam 2 about 7. Both A+! Same deal with methods where I'm doing a lot better in exams than my SAC's (not as good as further though).

Nope, had mine the night after the my last day!

Lol, my valedictory is during the exam period. Thank god mine will be over but the Media students will have to suffer a bit :p. Not like it matters anyway, I don't think any of them take their schooling seriously.

And yes I am worried about my SACs particularly in English and Business. My Business cohort is weaker than me and I don't even want to know my English rank.

[Damoz.G]

I'm worried about my SACs for English and Methods.

Mine's like end of November haha.. I guess it's kind of good because it means we come back into a school environment after exams finish, but I feel like lots of people will be overseas/on schoolies so there may not be such a high attendance rate I'm still going though and so are all my friends!

Yeah I feel the same! I guess don't really think too much about it and focus on smashing those exams since they're worth a lot more than your sacs so whatever needs to happen will happen! If you're doing better in the VCAA exams then I guess your sac marks will scale up or something, since VCAA is the standard and you are able to cope with it
Just focus on the exams and you will be fine

I hope so! It's just on the back of my mind because I know that this SAC moderation process will make the difference between me achieving 90 or not. But I guess whinging won't help, so back to study haha!

HAHA! Fair enough. I think 90% of our cohort have bought tickets and they are very expensive, so I doubt they are going overseas. :p

We had ours last week.
I didn't end up going, because my aunty was having her baby boy
But apparently,some of the asian and curry parents were taking heaps of spring rolls, and there was a rush to get all the food. I guess it happens when you go to a school predominantly with curries and asians!
