Investigating wasn’t that bad guys

9 marker on van helmont... i have a fear i completely misinterpreted that experiment. the only question i know i did well in was the numerology one and the spencer one

That's all you need and you'll be fine.

Is investigating science good? I would have done it but our school doesn't offer it, unfortunately. Also, compressed curriculum sounds so cool!

How bad can your handwriting be to still get a band 6. if they can't read it do they just mark the bits they can read and not bother? All my responses are very hard to read and I'm scared imma get really bad marks as a result.
@jimmysmith560

My understanding is that every effort is made by markers to read potentially illegible student responses. Markers will ignore illegible parts when they have determined that every effort was made to read them but failed, and they will focus on marking the legible parts.

With that being said, it would be reasonable to assume that NESA has substantial experience in terms of student handwriting, so the chances of markers failing to understand your handwriting may be lower than you think.

It’s year 10 science on steroids like a mix of content on different scientists and lots of data analysis
It was pretty good like I am English heavy so it was my break subject lol

Yeah I don’t even know if what I wrote was vaguely right

but our teacher saw us after and said there’s many ways to get marks lol

i personally really enjoy it even if it's not my strongest subject, but also i'm really into the idea of research and stuff (thinking about it as a future career path) so some of the content in investigating really aligns with that.

compressed curriculum has been a godsend with my sanity during hsc season... it's fast paced but also i'm very lucky i've only had to study for 3 exams this year. i can see why people love it and also why people would hate it

 

[bbmiffy]

is it just me who feels so bored when sitting my exams? im too understimulated to even be nervous, i waste time counting the bricks on the walls and im not even stressed about it hekp this is not supposed to be happening

i am hoping the markers are nice and can comprehend some of the absolute reaches i made in that exam enough that i can scrape some marks together i basically just yapped about how the experiment was partially invalid because it focused on water while helmont focused on soil....the things my exam brain have managed to cook up continues to surprise me

Yep, eight papers in three weeks is not too fun... But you can't turn back the clock.

Business I’m honestly just memorising the entire syllabus + case studies and doing practice mc and short answer

Legal, I made summaries of my HR stuff and just memorising my plans tbh legal mc isn’t as bad and short answer is pretty straight forward

 

[Solarised]

I can’t wait to deep clean my room

The countless papers and books I have lying around everywhere, can be out of sight and out of my mind

 

[sainzsgf]

I can’t wait to deep clean my room
