Wait do every school do an external exam at the end of the yr?

I had my half yearlies all in week 2. My yearlies are in Week 7 of term 3 iirc

Are you close with ur grade?

HAHAH BUT ACTUALLY THOUGH
I still remember being in year 7 and stressing out over food tech......
Now whenever I see juniors studying on the bus or freak out over exams it's just amusing to see HAHA

I'm quite close with a few people, I rlly like my grade Everyone's super nice and accepting.. but ruse is a scary place when exams are on LOL

It's good in JR because you burn out early, that way you're prepped for the HSC

No, by burning out early I meant year 9 and 10, it's easier for the students to cope with it, since they have experienced the pressure before.

Ah, fair enough I guess, I thought you meant in year 11 or sumthing

Mate I've burned out 4 times already

 

[RyanT7]

Mate I've burned out 4 times already

Is it even possible to burn out that many times already ? I thought it meant studying so much,that you hit a point where you couldn't even touch anything school related anymore, and i'm guessing the effect lasts for some quite time

Yeah, because I study a lot and I ponder a lot and I just give up and stress.

You should try your best to not stress out so much. You can only imagine how you would feel during the actual HSC period, if this is how you are feeling at term 2 prelim

It's something to do with your reputation, I think it increases when you hit a certain amount of likes ?

Check under the section entitled "reputation"

Didn't they also bump up the selective school entry scores when our grade did it? Otherwise too many people would get accepted by the old standards, or something?

How would that work? They only accept a set number of students anyway so wouldn't the cut-offs change depending on performance in the test?
