[lyounamu]

ancient, modern, all sciences, 2 unit maths, general math, 4 unit maths, all commerce, sor ii...gosh most are just 3 hours

2 hours = 3 unit maths

1.5 hour = most 1 unit subc

3hrs is a bitch why is it so long

I always thought 3 hours was too short :mad1:

I reckon it's a reasonable length - so far I've been able to complete all my exams within the three-hour timeframe.

I have a really poor time management skill....damn

For me the first hour goes quick, the second really really really really slow, and the 3rd goes by at a normal pace. Its a bit annoying really, finishing 20 mins early or something. Especially in 2 hour exam.

You've started studying for your trials already??

SOR 1, is that 1 hour or 1.5 hours?

Well for maths, I'm accelerated.
So I've been exposed to the HSC since Year 10.

As for everything else, my school shapes all Year 11/12 Exams to be 3 hours.

Most 2 Unit courses are 3 hour exams except for those with Major Works or practicals done and externally marked beforehand.

Most 1 Unit courses are 1.5 hours although History Extension is a 2 hour exam.

1,5

oh ok thanks

I think Paper B for English will be the worst - 3 essays on our three modules. That sounds like a nightmare 2 hours to me, and a very painful hand afterwards.

Yessss I absolutely agree.

I had 2 essays for my english exam today and I thought that was hard.

It will be an absolute madness if I have to go through 3 essays...I guess I will just have to practise over and over again...

it's managable

 

[possessionless]

cafs & legal both have 3 extended responses.
& in cafs they have 3 parts so our teacher told us we need around: half a page on part a, 1-1.5 on part b & then 4-5 on part c.
so thats around 6-7 pages for EACH extended response.
& there is 3 of them.
joy!

oh i forgot to add: thats after multiple choice & short answers!
