Not too long now! Tomorrow I have two different exams (English Paper 1 and Music)!
This weekend I mainly worked on getting together and working on all my quotes, working on some of my essays and making essay plans. I’m going to try and memorise my discovery essay and mould it to the question tomorrow (listening to a recording of it now :) )

Good luck to everybody for tomorrow! Sending you all internet hugs :D. Try to stay calm during the exam and don’t stress too much! I know all of your hard work will pay off!  ;D

GOOD LUCK Katie!!!!

3 down, 5 to go!
So incredibly glad that English is finally over, the feeling is amazing! :D
I never need to study or read any of these texts again or write any English essays.

My thoughts on the exams:
Paper One: Overall, I think I went ok for the short answers and the essay but I’m not too sure. My creative was terrible though-I made it up on the spot so it wasn’t heaps well written. After our exam, our English teachers gave us ice-cream cones (and after paper 2 we got muffins/lamingtons and pastries)!! :D

Music: I think I went ok for this. I found the first two pieces good but the last two were fairly hard. My class has done heaps of practise so hopefully we all go really well! :)

Paper Two: My Hamlet essay was terrible-I wrote an entire paragraph that probably doesn’t even relate to the question :(. However mod A was good and I could write heaps and mod C was also ok.

I don’t have any more exams for the week (except there’s four next week)! Good luck to everyone with exams this week! Hope you all go really well!  ;D

5 done, only 3 to go!!

Thoughts on my exams so far this week:
Maths: I found the exam ok, but some of the multiple choice and short answers at the end were a bit hard. Was hoping for a band 6 but not sure.

Ancient: Still so surprised I got all of the multiple choice right (guessed a few)!!  I think most of the parts were good except for the Julio-Claudian section. I forgot all of my detail and quotes and it was a really short essay. Hoping, that I did well in all of the other sections to balance this out.

Tomorrow I have Extension, on Friday I have hospitality and next Thursday I have legal (which I haven’t studied for too much yet). Extension and Hospitality are both afternoon exams from 1:55-4pm. I’m really hoping they don’t ask for 2 areas of debate in the case study tomorrow because I only know one really well (and the others generally). Might have to read over it tomorrow morning. I hope the exam isn’t too bad tomorrow because I want to go well.

I got the date for my USyd audition yesterday (1st of December) which is kinda scary because it is so close. I’m going to play two of my HSC pieces for it but I’m also expected to know all of the major and minor scales (I find it dreadfully difficult to memorise scales). I also need to work out my accompaniment and practice with them soon. For UNSW, it is an online musicianship test and audition so I’ll have to put that together after HSC as well.

Good luck everybody!!!! Hope everything is going well for you!!   ;D

My HSC is over and the feeling is absolutely amazing!!  ;D
All I have to do left is bring in one more library book (lost somewhere in my room) and organise my exit interview.

Thoughts on my final exams:
History Extension: Loved the questions. I had heaps of things to talk about and think that my essays went well. However, I forgot a few interpretations for section 2.

Hospitality: The questions are always so weirdly worded. There was also a 3-mark question on something I don’t remember covering in class (or if we did it was really quickly) which put me off. I think most of the rest was ok though. We also had three people leave halfway through the exam which was really distracting. I studied quite a bit for it and I’m not sure if I went as well as I wanted to.

Legal: Thought the questions today were quite nice. Really happy with crime and my consumer essay. Think my family essay wasn’t as strong but I was kind of expecting it. Made up a few cases and media and muddled up one of my legislations but I think it went ok.

Brought John Green’s new book today so hopefully I’ll read that tonight!
So happy it’s all over! Looking forward to the sleep ins!

Good luck to those still doing HSC exams and to those in VCE just starting yours!  ;D

congrats on finishing, katie!

random comment: how annoying is it when people leave the exam? 9 people left legal today... ugh
