I had Ellis for Summer 2014. He's pretty anal about his marking (e.g. notiation of chain rule, squiggly line or arrow above indicating vectors etc), so you might lose some marks there in the Class Tests that other students might not. But he does it with the best intentions, doesn't beat around...

It works in a number of "steps" I believe. So the document I've linked at the bottom, on page 6 it talks about how you progress to different steps (YT = Year Trained, at Uni I assume). And page 21 shows the the salary for each step. Although this is and old document (2011) you get the idea :)...

Firstly grats on finishing Yr12! Hope it was a blast. And dw bout stressing over UAC, really normal haha. I remember changing my preferences down to the last minute (and I just realised it closes in less than an hour, so not sure how much this will help you :P) Many tutoring colleges will hire...

the english paper 1 wasn't all that bad... it was probably a tougher paper than usual but not sure it would be fair to say that "an average student – and this is the whole state here – they would not be able to read that much text in reading time" and who cares about selective school people...

nuppp :) yeh that's what my friend in uni told me anyways haha (from a selective school) :D

stuff is being stirred man :P going through all the selective school circles.... but yeh, it's fair enough to hate on an easy because it true that it probably doesn't differentiate to those who know their content extensively vs an average knowledge like you could have not studied that much and...

What modules did you do for English Advanced? :)
