Tired I probably should sleep now

It's not you, I don't think. Night night . Sweet dreams, sleep tight, don't let the bed buggies bite.

Thoroughly agree with this. Notes are pretty important, but just understanding content+answering past paper questions and perfecting exam technique is far more important IMO

Both notes and past papers tie together IMO. I doubt neither would be effective without the other, so arguably you couldn't say one was overrated if they are both so dependent upon each other in honing an individual's academic results. In that if people think notes = have higher opinion than deserved, then what does that make of past papers which essentially depend on individuals knowing their content/notes?

I'm not trying to diss notes or anything, in fact I write them myself, however I just find that most people have their priorities wrong... like really really wrong

i feel like some ppl at my school are so focused on writing "the perfect answer" and end up memorising copious amount of stuff. They need to have faith in themselves that they know the content. Although notes are important, they're not everything!!! NOTES ARE OVERRATED

Practicing > note reading

Note reading helps in basic Q's, but not in Q's that require deeper logical thinking

I would say both are good, but one should not spend copious amounts of time on making and memorising notes.

I didn't have any notes in the pelim course and tried to go with no notes in the HSC course and had mid ranks in all my subjects by the end of the first term

Chin up bro. New school year, fresh start. Collate your feedback from the tasks and use it to improve when it really matters

 

[Thunderstorm]

Same. Aren't all the 2015 HSCers doing Discovery?

Yeah but it feels like I won't do much better in creatives

Yeah, I went through a similar phase not too long ago. With creative writing, I find that practice and further feedback is the way to go. Ask where you lost 7 marks and why and go from there

Yeah, I meant that my yr 12 discovery content and work has already started. Apparently some schools haven't started yr 12 officially

Oh yeah, we haven't 'officially' but most of my subjects have started Year 12 content except maths. We're doing 'People and Politics' though atm in English, which is an elective for Module C Representation and Text or whatever. What's your first impression of Discovery?

 

[duhdevitt]

discovery is horrible arggh
