I'm trying, but I'm having trouble. The website says that change of preference is available for the late round, but all it will let me do is check my preferences, not change them.

I've just received an offer- Bachelor of Commerce, University of New South Wales. I'm stunned- I got 93.10, last year's cut off was supposedly 95. As I researched degrees, I eventually decided that what I really wanted was Economics and Social Sciences at USYD, my second preference. However...

I hope I don't offend you, because I know that miscarriage is an extremely difficult thing to experience and must have been very painful for your friend and sister. However, I have developed precisely the opposite opinion, despite similar experiences. My mother had two miscarriages. She also...

It looks like most have. Except law, that went down by .05. Not a huge difference, but still surprising considering that it remained stationary during the substantial 2004/2005 drops most courses had.

According to the UAC book, Eco + Soc Sci didn't make late round offers last year.

How accurate is USYD's website with the UAI cutoffs? I swear, when I was choosing my preferences I must have seen four different cutoffs for Economics and Social Sciences- one in the handbook, one in the UAC book, one on the UAC website and one on the Sydney website. I'm above the cutoff...

Lucky. I'm .10 below my first preference and 2.4 above my second preference, so it could be a lovely surprise to find my first preference came down, or a horrible surprise to find my second preference jumped and I got neither.

Well, if nobody else got one I guess it would qualify as a 'collectable'. I guess now I have to go call the BOS or whoever it was that issued them, make sure I have all my bits. Bugger. EDIT: The BOS guy says I have everything I'm supposed to. Guess the blank one was just a freebie.

Well that's no fun.

Well, I do need money for my textbooks. The important questions are- a) Did anyone else get one? b) Is it illegal to sell it? Seriously though, I guess the one thing I'm really worried about is whether or not this means I'm missing a page from my HSC.

I received mine. I'm wondering- is it normal to receive a blank page with your certificate? I received a nice shiny certificate, and the notes on the courses, plus a blank sheet. It has the embossed title and shield, and the watermark, but nothing written on it. Strikes me that I could...

I have an implanon, and I got the continuous bleeding side effect. My doctor recently put me on hormone pills, which stopped it for a while. Now things are going a bit haywire, and I have to go back and see him. I hope this doesn't come off as judgemental, but how well did you...

No, the Delphi technique doesn't usually involve bringing them together- it's based on sending questionnaires to experts. One of the major strengths of the technique is that the experts are unable to influence each other. According to the textbook we used it is to 'obtain the most reliable...

Techniques for studying the future are things like trend extrapolation, scenarios, the Delphi technique, etc. There's also a technique that I can't remember the name of where you compare the development of another society another to predict future trends. I expect it would be probable to get...

I was really happy that they asked for three texts. A harder question is always in the best interest of those who work harder- an easy question is a level playing field. I'm pleased with the specification of three texts because it rewarded those who studied the module as it was intended to...

Out of all the exams, I'm happiest with SAC. The first two questions threw me a bit, and I think I cheated slightly- I pretty much said 'Environment impacts society and culture *egs*, so now I'm going to discuss persons' interaction with society and culture instead'. I think they'll give me a...

Mnemonics. A pneumonic is a type of disease, I believe. I could never come up with mnemonics for MH. They were great when I took legal in year 11, but Modern always seemed too complicated to bother with them. I wouldn't advise making up quotes. Paraphrase those you can't remember...

Foci will make you look really pretentious, but that's just my opinion. Markers might like pretentiousness. I would go with focuses. The 'uses' plural is correct in English. The latin plural is more complicated than simply 'us' becomes 'i', so if you go with focuses you're guaranteed to have...

The SFWA site is brilliant, and I read the resources about three times over the course of 2005. I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread to add my own suggestion, but- This might not be best for everyone, but for people who are at their most productive under pressure, I heartily...

I was annoyed that they asked for three, but also lucky. I had two essay plans, one that I wanted to do (Atwood and Aung San Suu Kyi) and an emergency plan B one (Lincoln, King, Kyi/Havel/McAleese depending on question). I was lucky that one of my essay plans was for three texts, but I was...
