Offering some words of encouragement in hopes it'll alleviate how you are all probably feeling
I'm like fine at the moment, I currently have other things on my plate e.g. I book a test to get my L's tomorrow and I haven't really prepared for it yet lol
Good luck for your L's! Make sure to get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast/lunch and practise running through the test a few times more before you complete it. They give you way more time than you need so take it slow and read each question carefully. You'll have time to come back to it and check your answers. You'll do amazingly
Super Super DUPER anxious to the extent I think it's unhealthy. I'm praying that I get a 90+ but I really don't know anymore >< I know I can't change anything now but I found HSC way harder than trials, anyone else felt the same?
In one way or another, yes, I felt that in some subjects (physics!) the HSC was harder.
Update: Now that the marking guidelines are out, my anxiety has quadrupled. I honestly can’t wait for this period to end.
When I sat my HSC, I also found the exams harder than Trials! I got caught off-guard by so many questions in the final exams so both of you aren't alone in feeling this way. Just remember that you know your content, you've tested it for multiple assessments and you prepared for those exams in such rigour the whole year. While the exams may have felt impossible to do in the moment, and even in hindsight, trust in yourself that you gave it your best shot. At the end of the day, that's what truly matters
I'm sure both of you put in your absolute best and whatever marks come out of that are only one way of measuring of success. Your results won't determine the success you're yet to have in the months, years and decades to come; what determines success at the end of the day is how you feel about your own work ethic and drive. Hope that helps a bit with the anxieties surrounding the marks!
I'll leave off my post with a good luck to everyone in the Class of 2019! You've all worked so hard and it's been wonderful seeing your posts on the forum
Take the rest of the days before the marks are out to celebrate your achievements and let us know how it all goes
