    First Englishpaper felt good! Aside from my essay, I had about 4 more words to write when they said pens down, but at least it wasn’t 4 paragraphs!!

    1 down, 7 to go!

    Good work, BQ – How did you mange to NOT keep writing with only 4 words to go???? Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.

    The threat of 0 if you don’t immediately drop that pen!! Would rather miss a few words than waste all that work and not get an ATAR! (If you don’t do English or get a 0 in one of the English exams, you don’t get an ATAR).

    Thanks for that explanation!!!!!! I did the Leaving Certificate a hundred years ago, remember very little of the exam set up. I DO remember, as though it was yesterday, waiting for the newspaper to arrive to get the results – I did well and know you will too. I was up at 6am, Dad had been awake all night and heard the paper drop at 4am but waited for me to open it first!!!!! A million years away from yours but still very similar, if that makes any sense. Hang in there Hon.

    Second English paper crossed off!!

    Was one of the most difficult exams they’ve released in a while, very narrow questions because they’ve been examining it for so long, they need a new focus each year 🙁 I really loved one of the essay questions (right up my alley), another was absolutely abysmal, and the other I’m ambivalent, wasn’t horrible, wasn’t amazing….

    So hoping if the state average is terrible they’ll have to scale the marks up to match the difficulty of the paper….

    I’m weirdly calm about my exam today (and all the others to come)….

    I felt the same when I did my HSC exams many many years ago…it was strange because I remember being nervous before every other exam I’d done in school, but felt calm doing my HSC. Don’t know why. Anyway, good luck BQ!
