CLASS OF 2018!

[Joseph41]

Hey everybody! Just wanted to pop by and, similar to the above, simply wish you all the very best for your exams. It's been a pleasure and privilege to see a lot of you develop this year (and much longer than that for some of you). Know that ATAR Notes is well and truly with you.

If you want to discuss your exams when they finish, as many people do, you can do so here. There are dedicated threads for each exam (and if there isn't one for an exam you've done, feel free to make one!).

Again, all the very best.

I know this is sorta late (and I evidently can't English myself today lmao) but...

Spoiler

All the love xo <3

So fellow year 12s. This is the beginning of the end, the very last chapter of high school begins today for most of us.

Good luck all with the exams. This time will be though but we need to remember we are not alone and all we can do from this point is do our very best.

In just a few hours the first exam will be finished and you will never have to think of whatever text you have studied that you have grown to hate ever again.

Step by step we are going to make it through the exams, one step, one essay, one question, one exam at a time and before we know it we will be done.

Thinking of you all through this. 😊

And English is done. It can only get better from here!
I used 45 minutes in the middle of the exam working out \(\sqrt{2}\)...

Genuinely English was my biggest worry out of all subjects. Despite exams just starting I already feel somewhat free.

Same! The rest of my subjects are pretty chill haha

Not sure if this helps but I was really worried that I'd get less than 25 on eng lang but in the end I did alright.

My advice to just not think about it at all. Forget what you wrote, forget the prompts, don't look at suggested solutions etc. Take a bit of a break for a bit if you feel super drained, and then shift your focus to the future. You'll be alright; enjoy the freedom

Unfortunately, I didn't worry enough about English...
Does anyone know what is required to get a moderated score based off the GAT?

Thanks Mini.
Rn 25 even sounds way too high...

Short-term incapacitation. You’d know if you qualified. Things like having a cold or whatever don’t normally count. It’s more things like breaking an arm or detaching your retina or having a heart attack

Bummer.
Unfortunately I am way too healthy...

[Lear]

That’s not an unfortunate thing!

I just blocked the English exam board. I don’t have anywhere near enough self control to just not click on it hahaha

I have a friend who scored in the single digits for English and is studying a course that aligned with their interests at RMIT.
(from memory they wrote one sentence in their exam)

Whatever happens, it's not the end. You keep moving forwards, it's ok.

People are leaving terrible reviews on the real Calmer Cafe in aberfeldie. Inb4 VCAA gets sued again for disparaging a real place

How immature.

Lol. I spent the whole Sec C just going off at the Jenkins dude for being a bigot and not even trying to understand other demographics.
I hope assesors take it in the spirit it was meant.

Also, those questions and answers on Calmer Cafe's Google are actually kinda funny!
But leaving 1 star reviews is bullshit.

That is the most re-assuring thing I've heard all day...
Thanks
