I wasn't a fan of English at the start of this year, but in my redemption (Students who did ACC for Section A will understand my use of this word) of marks, I improved a lot and now I'm actually going to miss English. :(

I'll probably miss english soon, but not now :)

Pretty sure I had a heart attack when mid-essay I looked at my paper and saw the watermark "SECTION A ONLY". Normally those watermarks say something like "SAMPLE PAGE". I nearly dropped to the floor.

and yes I do exams in chronological order. I find it weird to go from C to A to B. Some serious mental issue happening there.

Didn't have time to include a last word of a sentence or seriously didn't finish like a big slab of words?

Am I the only one here who's getting more and more sick of playing the numbers game? I used to really care about getting that 90 atar, but now I'm just using these exams just to see how well I'll perform against everyone else!

Same here! But I've got a couple of goals and as long as I achieve them, I'm happy about whatever else happens. :)

Couldn't agree with you more. At the start of the year I was like need 99! Now it doesn't honestly matter anymore, as long as I do my best. Really, that is the only thing that counts in my opinion.

I'm sick of the numbers game, but it has inspired me the whole year so I can't really hate it..  ::)

I kept my English books and bound references, gave away most of it or passed it down to my brother (including TSFX stuff). I think he'll just give it away (might sell his notes though, who knows).

Still use most of the VCE maths stuff for tutoring. Never really sold anything form yr 7 and up, so back home in the west we have nearly a library of high school textbooks from yr 7 - 10... But comes in handy a little bit since my sister is a teacher. Gives her something to look for more material from which her students don't have access to.
