HIGHER School Certificate (HSC) students yesterday completed their first week of exams.
Three Tamworth High School students finished their modern history exam at lunch time and said while the first week was finally over, a number of major exams were still looming.
"We have maths (general mathematics) tomorrow, it will be a pretty demanding exam. Modern history was what I expected though," Year 12 student Nathan Walters said.
Paris Brennan agreed the modern history paper was what she had anticipated and so were the other exams she had sat so far.
Considered very lucky by his peers, at the end of today Nathan will have completed five of his six HSC exams and will have completed his final exam by the end of next week.
"I only had Wednesday off during the first week," he said.
Tamworth High School exam convener Ken Hall told The Leader the 89 students doing the HSC at Tamworth High School were coping very well with the exams.
"They are a great bunch of kids and they have been great throughout the exams," he said.
Students studying mathematics, society and culture and biology, to name a few, are busily preparing for their second week of exams while the wait for those studying VET subjects including retail, tourism and business service still have a long way to run in the HSC gauntlet. They will not complete their final exams until the last two days of examinations on Monday, November 12, and Tuesday November 13.
