HSC Stuff > The HSC Journey Journal
So this is gonna be interesting...
BrittyG:
Today I received my General Math exam back and I'm extremely happy with my result. I ranked = 1st in the task with 88.75%. The mistakes I made were reading errors and not completing the questions (doing half and moving on). These are an easy fix though.
I also received my biology marks (66%), My results I'm mostly happy with, I would have liked to have done better but It is what it is. I plan to redo each question of the exam looking at the marking criteria to see if I could write a full mark response for each question then hand in the exam to my teacher again with my revised answers for re-marking. I think that'll help with getting to know the content and also exam structuring technique.
I appealed my marks on the PDHPE sports medicine section and the teacher who marked that section is reviewing it, I'm not sure if she'll award me the marks or if she'll just dismiss me because I'm annoying for scabbing marks... she scares me.
I'm now awaiting on Business and SORI
BrittyG:
Big day for students across NSW today. HSC timetables have been released and everything is starting to become very real. This is what my timetable looks like;
Week 1: English Paper 1 & 2
Week 2: Biology, General Math
Week 3: PDHPE, Business Studies
Week 4: SOR I
I'm happy with my timetable as my exams are fairly evenly spread across the four weeks and its close to the same spacing that I have/will come across in my prelim, half yearly and trial (CSSA) exam blocks. I feel that now I have got my timetable I am a lot less stressed than I was before, I think this is because I now have dates that I'm aiming for and can work towards and plan around.
Putting it in perspective I have approx. 5 and a bit months until the HSC, I have around 4.5 months until I graduate and in that time I have two weeks holidays so 4 months. For most subjects I will have 1 more assessment and trials to improve my rankings, post trials there is 2 months to work on the gaps in my knowledge. I'm waiting until pre-trials to do past HSC exam papers so I don't use all the questions beforehand, I'll do a few here and there but nothing major.
Wowza's it's all becoming so real now... It's a little daunting but I'm up for the challenge :)
Breakdown Count: 20 still ;)
HSCya Later,
Britt

That's probably one of the nicest timetables I've seen, score!! Really glad to hear you are a little less stressed ;D
Keep chilled - 5 months is a long time, just keep working at a healthy pace and you'll be amazed how far you can go in half a year ;D

I am very lucky with the time table I’ve got I realised. One of my friends starts on October 18th and is done by the 25th!!
I can agree, 5 months is a long time. I’m going to make a schedule over the next couple of weeks including goals of what I want to achieve in each subject before the next task so I can work on improving my knowledge of the content. Hopefully that’ll re organise my brain and stop it from getting overwhelmed.
Thanks for reading and replying Jamon!! :)
BrittyG:
I only just realised I forgot to include that I received my general math marks back in my last couple of posts!! I am so excited! I placed =1st with 71/80 for the task!! I couldn’t be anymore happier with myself at the moment.
I now only have SORI and Business Studies to be handed back. I’ll probably get SORI tomorrow and Business Studies early next week. Hopefully my marks surpass what I expect so I can remain this happy :D
