Is the hsc killing you? or are you cruising through it?

(rank from 1-10, 1 being low-stress) & a quick thought on it all...

Just wanted an idea of how good/bad everyone else thinks it is.

Any opinions appreciated.

xoxo

probably an 8 before today, due to english advanced and maths within a week. but now it's more like a 3 or 4, since i've now got big breaks in between exams

Um during trials it was about a 14/10 for me. It was terrible.

At the moment, probably 6 or 7. I'm still thinking about the papers that are already finished even though I know there's nothing I can do to change them. I'm happy about the music paper this afternoon though. Very, very happy about that.

before english 10, now about 3, then after french on thurs it will go back to 8 or so for chem and legal

i'm not too fussed about HSC but i'm a natural worrier so i guess that's where the stress comes from

before trials i was aiming for an ATAR of 99.55, back then my stress levels were generally around 7.5

now i need for an ATAR of at least 82, and my stress levels are around 7.5

i guess it's all about reaching my potential for me.

arts subjects = major equalling 50% of course = easy peasy theory exams = stress at an all time low.

the only thing I stressed for was English Paper 2, and even then it wasn't that bad.

i love my subject choice.

Hovering at around 6-8/10. Now that there's only 2 more to go though, I'm a little more relaxed. I got off to a pretty good start so I hope to finish it off well too.

yeah its all about reaching the potential which sends me into a panic attack, given the conditions of exams, my potential is always below wat i expect =( which further increases stress levels to about 15/10
