3 Letters...HSC!
This time last year I was a mere 10 days away from the first of my dreaded 7 HSC exams that would sum up the entirety of my highschool academic life and play a huge role in determining what my future would behold.
One year on I feel it is safe to say I do not miss the way I felt a year ago in any sense, the focus and determination I mustered to put in the amount of study I did still ceases to amaze me.
'HSC' being a trend on twitter over this past week with 70,000 NSW year 12 students tweeting about their fears, hopes and anxiety for what is about to hit them, it has brought back the unpleasant memories of my own experience.
I turned 18 last year on the day of my Advanced English Modules paper and it is hard, when I think about it now, to understand that it has already been a whole year.
My advice to any year 12 student about to stumble into this next intense month of your life would be to maintain focus, you are honestly nearly there.
Keep revising, study as much as you can, read over your notes and be prepared, they can only ask you what is on the syllabus - make sure you and it have a very intimate relationship.
Take big deep breaths and remember that these exams are at the end of the day just a drop in the ocean when you put things into perspective, your life is so so much more and will go on no matter the outcome of your results.
Goodluck!
