A young person's perspective on the year 12 exams

Message contains a hyperlink

I thought this was a really great insight to what it's like these days in Year 12...  This student is currently studying and explained it all from her point of view... For some of us it's been awhile but we can probably still remember that ball of stress...

 

"I was doodling in my notebook during class because I was bored and couldn't concentrate. When I snapped back to reality, I realised I had drawn a series of tight little balls of scribble in the margin of my book.

Protruding from each ball were arms and legs. This little creature is what I like to call 'the panic monster'. "

That's a great read @HalleysComet.  Thank you.  Having just had two kids do HSC two years in a row, I reckon it's spot on.
