Is Sc Equivalent To Hsc?!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[evolution]

hey guys,

I was wondering, from the results of our YEAR 10 SC --- does that mean that's how we're going to do for the HSC ?? ! OR is SC considered nothing . JUST WONDERING.....



IS THE SC A SIGNNNN ~!!!!! ????

 

[Kujah]

No way. If you do good in the SC, it isnt guaranteed that you're gonna get good HSC results. Your HSC results will be based on your effort, and maybe a bit of luck SC is ONLY important if your leaving year 10 to find work/apprenticeship.

However, your study habits in the SC might help you create a platform for senior years

IN CONCLUSION:



FROM SC YOU GET :


= school leavers benefit from this .


= non-school leavers (US) get "STRESSED" out for the next remaining 2 years + the thought of regrets; "SC WAS USELESS!" + an additional pressure from the parents pushing you further .





:uhhuh: haha ..............................

 

[Kujah]

Absolutely correct :uhhuh:

The SC as explain is in no way the year 10 equivalent to the HSC, over the next two years you will learn this.

 

[Zephyrio]

Nope. =)

1) The effort put into the HSC is tantamount to around 100 times the effort we put into the SC.
2) The SC is, I feel a poor indication of a student's capabilities. So what if a student scores 98 because he/she can pick and shade in bubbles the best? My English teacher told me that though great as you may be in multiple choice, this does not equate to being able to express your thoughts in a clear concise, structured argument or essay =). And let's face it. She's right. Are we really going to have multiple choice in English, and 2U+ maths? No. History? Nup. Science? Not the copious number of questions we received in the SC paper.

Multiple choice just happens to be the cheapest way to assess the masses.

So don't freak out. You have the time and opportunity to change, mould and fold your own destiny. =)

Apparently NSW is the only state with a Year 10 across the state assesment. Other states phased it out long ago.

The notion that your school certificate results are an indication of your HSC results is utterly ridiculous; people who perform poorly in the school cert. can pull their socks up (metaphorically speaking) and do remarkarbly well in the HSC. Likewise, some people who perform well in the school cert. can bomb out in the HSC because they burn out, or chose the wrong subjects. Furthermore, its also worth noting that the School cert. has a pre-structured syllabus, which students must adher to; whereas in the HSC students are able to choose their subjects, and thus focus on their strengths and interests.

However, there is some truth in saying that students who perform well in the School cert, generally perform well in the HSC: there is no mystery to why however, as this is merely due to the fact that students who are bright and/or conscientious students in year 10 will continue to be as they embark on their senior years. Likewise, those who are not naturally bright and/or are not committed in year 10 may continue with this attitude as they complete their senior years. Thus, it is these facts that would explain the apparent link between a students school cerificate results and HSC results.

Well, the thing is, majority of people don't even bother studying for the SC. You'd hope there'd be some effort put into the HSC, no matter how minimal it is. Add that to the fact that in the HSC you are doing subjects you want to do and picked yourself, eg not necessarily Georgraphy or Science or Maths or History which you might have received a poor band for, and it's safe to say that your SC results are NOT an accurate prediction of what your HSC results will be.

 

[Kujah]

it's safe to say that your SC results are NOT an accurate prediction of what your HSC results will be.

That is ABSOLUTELY correct :uhhuh: Basically, we're all doing our subjects that we enjoy the most in our senior years, and not the subjects that you loathe. With your interests, you're bound to put in some effort in for your HSC

Argh, Kujah, stop being so intelligent and all that.

 

[Kujah]

I cant control myself sometimes

School Certificate - you study for it in one or two weeks.
Higher School Certificate - you study for it for around a year for it.*

* Note: Only this is true for the people who really care about the HSC.
