[Greatness]

Us methods/spesh students particularly the asian/suicide 5 students have enough reason to rage!!!!

I agree, it's a joke but not much we can do about it. Fair enough about Chem/Physics and Methods being in a close vicnity, but seeing as though Spesh requires Methods, majority of kids are going to have 4 exams in a row.

Grr if only my school would've let me do Methods in Year 11.....

[Greatness]

I wanted to do methods in yr 11 as well

[funkyducky]

Right now I'm so happy I chose to do Methods this year! My friend, who did 1/2 Methods in Year 10, decided to postpone 3/4 until Year 12. She is not going to be happy when she sees the timetable.

[Greatness]

@funkyducky are you still doing physics? i thought u dropped it?

[funkyducky]

Yeah, I'm dropping it swarley.

[thushan]

How come?

[azngirl456]

I hear exams got pushed forward because of Easter Monday and Anzac day that follow after the term 1 holidays...

And because they take up two days of a week, vcaa thought it would be extremely unfair to students missing out on two days of work...they moved all the exams a week later

But I reckon it was a bit cruel for vcaa to put spesh and meth. Back to back. And it's also sad that they didn't structure the timetable to include Melbourne cup....that way it's a definite that everyone at least gets a break between exams

[funkyducky]

How come?

For the reason stated above by andrewloppol; because the physics teachers at my school are subpar; because VCE Physics is hardly what I'd call intellectually stimulating.

I should probably take Physics out of my sig.

[adelaide.emily10]

mid years seem ok, physics and chem seperate days as always
end of year - good break between english and methods tech free
another good break between methods tech and chem exam 2
and then hell starts - chem and IT apps 1 hr apart, and physics the next day, but at least i have no exams in the 3pm period, had legal this year at 3pm, and i wanted to kill myself

[Zien]

I love my timetable already (although I'll probably hate it in about a semesters time XD):

Physics - Tuesday 14 June / 11:45am – 1:30pm
Chemistry – Wednesday 15 June / 11:45am – 1:30pm
General Achievement Test (GAT) – Thursday 16 June / 10:00am – 1:15pm
Undergraduate Medicine Admission Test - Wednesday 27 July / 4 hours


Japanese Oral Exam - Monday 10 October to Wednesday 2 November
English – Thursday 3 November / 9:00am – 12:15pm
Mathematical Methods (CAS) Exam 1 – Tuesday 8 November / 9:00am – 10:15am
Mathematical Methods (CAS) Exam 2 – Wednesday 9 November / 11:45am – 2:00pm
Physics – Wednesday 15 November / 11:45am – 1:30pm
Chemistry – Thursday 14 November / 9:00am – 10:45pm
Japanese Written Exam – Monday 18 November / 11:45am – 2:00pm

The best thing about the 2011 timetable compared to the 2010 timetable for me would be that the major subjects are nicely spread out. I have 5 days between English and the pair of Methods exams, 6 days from the Methods exams to the Science exams and 4 days from the Science exams to the Japanese Written exam. Also, Chemistry is before Physics this year which I think is fantastic since I'm concentrating so much more in that.

I must be so lucky to have it like that for me next year; a timetable like 2010 wouldn't have been too good.

Do people actually care what time their exams are on?.. I don't favour a particular time of day to do an exam. I would have thought it doesn't matter what time it is - just turn up and do the exam.

^^I prefer the middle period: sleep in a bit but are still fresh for the exam

[Greatness]

I like 9am exams, still nice and fresh in the morning. I hate afternoon exams especially ones at 3pm like Biology exam 2 this year.... so bad was a warm day as well

[eeps]

I suppose afternoon exams are probably the worst IMO. You have to wait nearly the whole day just to do one exam - stress and anxiety levels build up.
