    Heya!
    The NYSF was amazing and WA is lovely! Did so many things! You should apply this year! We had awesome lectures, activites and the company of awesome 143 others of our year level. While I was there we had a concert, rock climbed, swam, went to the beach, had formal dinners, a bush dance...lots of fun stuff!
    I didn't know there was such a thing as a bus prefect, regardless they aren't any at my school and I've never caught a bus to school.
    I am a school prefect, but I also did peer support reading tutoring all during Yr 10, so not sure which you refer to :)

    heyy I just stumbled across your page while reading a thread and saw that you were doing the similar subjects as me ! I just wanted to ask a question what's society and culture because they don't offer that at our school? :S

    Aw that's super sweet! You give me lots of credit. I don't think I'd be very good at UMAT, but I think the interview would be fine. But very hard to get into. I might do a science degree first and then do grad medicine, to see if I still want to plus more ease into uni lol

    I have been considering it, but not sure if I'm cut out for it. I will ultimately still probably do a science course even so (sitill requires math/chem as pre reqs) yeah love my sciences :)

    For biology, I found watching videos, making my own notes, drawing up diagrams and teaching myself in the mirror really helped.

    With Italian, I found some websites were you could communicate with people who speak the language you're trying to learn who are trying to learn English. It was simply a matter of practicing and practicing and practicing with them.

    I think to really learn effectively you have to appeal to the three ways of learning: visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.

    Visual: watching videos, looking at/making diagrams, tables, etc.

    Auditory: Reading your notes out loud, listening to the teacher in class, teaching yourself out loud.

    Kinaesthetic: Making it happen, whether that is by twisting the words and saying them out loud to yourself in a different way, drawing, making hand movements that describe what's happening. For example, I learnt the methods of xylem and phloem by performing what happens with my hands.

    Hope I helped!

    Sure! I studied in different ways for particular subjects. For example, I did ancient history, and there were a lot of quotes by historians involved. I'm quite creative so I found a good way to remember the quotes was to draw the historian and stick the quote they said in a speech bubble beside them and then stick those pictures up around my room.

    With English, I gathered all the techniques and quotes and everything I wanted and gathered them under particular themes. I drew up a table for every them with the technique, example and effect. I would make mnemonics from these. For example, Chips Just Don't Grow: CJDG: Colour, juxtaposition, direct gaze. From that I would remember the technique's associated quote and technique. I gave my notes to my mum and made her grill me for the quotes until they were so burnt in my long term memory that I will probably never forget them.
