I like exams in which you can eat :)

Was it just me, or was the GAT somewhat relaxing?

For the first 30 mins I was really frustrated, knowing that I wasnt allowed to leave for 3 hours and knowing I had to write about the boring deep sea and also an opinion piece on a non-issue. The middle section I was fighting hunger pains (hunger pangs - wtf thought it was a typo). I dazed out into a few daydreams though and I sorted a lot out in my head. I was playing songs in my head too and it wasnt far of actually having my ipod.

I almost fell asleep. Got barely any sleep the night before, so I was amazed that I managed to retain consciousness throrought the exam.

I don't know about everyone else, but I did the multiple choice first, which took me an hour and 40 minutes, then spent the last bit frantically writing the text stuff. I was flat out from start to finish! Maybe I just suck...

I did the first piece then multiple choice, by the end of it I could hardly think so I wrote some crap and ended it with a Bear Grylls conclusion then left.

no wayy!  get the gay part out of the way first then the rest was a breeze.  I enjoyed MC, accept for the rediculous quotes section, the psychology section, and the politics section.  they were horrible.

the maths section with the hearts and whatever was the easiest 3-4 marks on the paper...

skipped everything but the maths ones :P they're pretty fun

Haha, I was the opposite.  The highlight of the paper for me was the bit at the end with the bowler's hat poem/image, as well as the quotes about government.

The guy supervising our GAT was so casual. He let me bring in my cup of coffee, and told everyone they can just start wherever they wanted.

Last year the supervisors gave us lollies throughout the GAT. This year, from some reason, I didn't know they stopped doing so. I think it was some girl grabbing a whole heap and pretending to cough into it...

BUT I WANTED LOLLIES, THAT'S WHY I WENT TO DO MY GAT. LOL
