Exams and Study

So who has been unlucky or lucky, which ever way you want to see it, to have exams at this time? I've been lucky enough to not have any this semester, but will next semester I'm sure..

how you guys go with your exams? when's the celebrations?

i've got no exams, but a few major projects... only 2 left to complete by next wednesday

Does having to mark exams count??? Took me over 4 hours to mark my Year 12 exams... only 3 failed out of 19 so am pretty happy

I really want to study... I left school in year 12 (term 1, week 8) and I really regret it.

There isn't really much I want to get over of studying, it'd be more for self gratification, however, the possibility of studying law one day is floating around in my head, had been for years. But I really need to wait until I really want to do it, coz studying law would really require a lot of discipline I reckon. So, I may have exams one day!!!

To all you anthems ppl that do have exams on - all the best!!!!!

And Leanne, 3 of 19, not a bad strike rate!! Congrats!!

Study wahts tat

Have not had to study for years, dont know whether its a good ting or not...must be i tink

I'm actually crazy enough to go back to uni to do my second degree in a totally different field, thats like asking for punishment

and with over 5 years break between degrees too..

Was that difficult to do?

The biggest thing in my way of studying, is I don't know how well I would adapt. I've been out of school for 8 years now (shit that makes me sound old!) and I'm really not sure how I would cope.

And as I didn't finish high school, what courses do/should i do? What requirements will I have to meet etc before going to Uni? How do I apply etc etc... Has anyone else gone to uni as a mature age student?

i got a business studies exam coming up this monday!!
but thankfully it is only worth like 20% of the years grade, so i ain't stressin 2 much...

it's my only yr 12 exam 4 the year.. so i can't wait 4 it 2 be over!
wish me GOOD LUCK! if ya want... lol..

good luck 2 every1 else 2

Amy, if you ever need any help with Business Studies PM me as I teach Year 12 Business Studies. How is your Investigative Study going?

thankz for the offer... so far everything is all good...

now i can ask u about this next time..

investigative study is gettin there, supposed 2 have something that looks like a draft ready next week.. not sure if thats gonna happen though...

thx again!!!

No worries at all, Amy... Best of luck with your exam.

i'll tell ya how i go...

Will be looking forward to hearing how you go.... my bottom mark was 22.5% so Im sure you will do much better than that

i am really sure that i will do better than that!

maybe 23%.... hehe nah just kiddin

no going to lie to you Em, but it is a bit of a shock. it can be done, just need the dedication and put in some extra hours (but who am I to talk, I got credits left, right and centre and only did one topic in first semester, going to 3 next semester). you can sit an adult re-entry test which is the way you gain entry into uni as an adult. I haven't sat this test as I wasn't allowed to because of my previous degree etc etc. what you should do to prep for uni? I would suggest contacting the uni that offers your course, most, if not all, of the course co-ordinaters are really really nice and approachable people (especially if your a mature student) and they'll advise you want you should do to make your journey through uni a pleasent one.

just some food for thought..

Hay letmeteachyou a friend of mine is a teacher and she is loaded up with work big time. Spose it is her first year so next year she reckons she wont have to prepare classes as much. Still she seems to enjoy it. Have fun sleeping in on Tuesday when you guys strike!

Harley

Harley, no sleeping in for me as I teach at a private college... but i dont blame the public teachers going on strike.. they deserve the pay increase

Hope your friend is taking care of herself in her first year - its a killer!!!

Going into uni as a mature age entry student was a bit of a shock 4 me...slightly 2 old 2 fit in with 'out of schoolers' and slightly younger than all the other MAE students LOL oh well, i got along with pretty much every1 in my classes, but now im only part time so dont no any1 again....


just finished a cert. IV in business management ontop of everything, but passed with flyin colours loved every1 i was studying with! such a good laugh!

yep, same with me, started full time, got credit for topics and stuff, lost contact with most people I met at start of the year, so have to start it all over again next semester.. does feel weird being amongst those really young people and then some much other people..

hey letmeteachyou

just thought i'd let u know that the exam wasn't that bad... and i survived

i had two exams about 2wks ago. english and visual arts.........so shitty. i think i failed my art cos it was art history of aust.
but im pretty sure i passed english.

i hate year 12 , but it is almost over and then it is schoolies, i cant wait
