Tempestuously cruising through the HSC
Lumenoria:
Omg, got my English Extension marks back for the prelim finals, and while they're not great, I'm relatively happy with how I went considering I didn't hand in any drafts whatsoever (I wrote both the creative and essay a night before the exam). I've literally never been so unprepared for an English exam besides this. I got 16/20 (80%) for both essay and creative, which is one mark less than what I received in the half yearly—that I actually studied and drafted for. I'm kinda annoyed because the girl that I tied with in my last report for English Ext did exceptionally well in these exams, which means I lost my ranking. But whatever, I'm just pleasantly surprised with the fact that I got over 70% hahaha

What other classes did you have today? Did you enjoy them? (Although it probably was all very syllabus based thus far!)

Economics, Mathematics, Advanced English, Multimedia and Biology! Yeah, I'm glad to be back at school finally doing something, but we haven't really been presented with anything excessively hardcore. In maths, we're still catching up on prelim content; however, everything else was like a 'taster' of the HSC lol. I fucking hate getting introduced to topics and such because it's so pointless imo, I just want to delve into its depths asap hahahah. Getting legal and economics results back tomorrow though, which shall be interesting... I'm praying for 85+ for legal and hopefully an 80 in eco. The question we had for the extended response in legal was traumatic though—my prepared response that initially took 45 mins at home ended up taking 1 hour 20 mins to write & adapt in the actual exam!! So, I'm not having high hopes really, but one can dream hahaha.

I don't remember it exactly word for word because we did it last term, but it was something like; Evaluate the law's ability to uphold individuals responsible for their actions. It's not a notoriously difficult question, but it was worded completely differently to how everyone expected—I was almost certain it would be what I had prepared for. Though apparently someone in our class got 25/25 for it... it shall be interesting to see who that is, definitely NOT me hahaha! I had to adapt so much more than I had anticipated, but I'm relatively confident with how I executed my response (didn't get time to look over it at the end though), so if I get 23 or over, I'll be happy.. which I bloody hope I get, considering I spent 75% of the exam duration on its 33% worth of the test lol
