Noo way... they tell me that I'll get about a 45/50 for a raw mark of 75% And I think it happens because of scaling etc...

During the hols? Omg I haven't even started properly studying for anything yet... now you're scaring me :p

I guess they're not familiar with tutors whose rates are between 35-50 per hour. I think 20's very resonable and you teach well! Maths anyway.

Hmm I didn't think about school sport! Might actually do school sport on Wednesday's... no more going home at 12:30 though :/ :D

What subjects did you do? I wanted to do sport but mum says it's a waste of time. I don't know she's got this warped idea that you should be sitting on your desk 24/7 to get a great UAI. She doesn't listen to me so I've given up! This was my 100th post :D I made a century!!

Yes this is true... a guy topped adv eng & another topped eng ext 1

You must have great time management skills then in order to be able to do 13u and get 99.85.

I disagree. It appears that way yes but maths is really just a matter of practice. My maths skills were really poor until I started actually working hard for it.

I was about to walk in with 10u but decided to pick up ext 2 maths for safety so now it's 11. Uhm this is what my tutor told me that whether you do 12 or 10 you're still going to have to work hard and you can't slack off. So in a way it's advantageous to do 10u because you have less to work...

I want to get my half yearly study out of the way for the first few chapters we did in term 4 because it's hell trying to study for half yearlies during school time.

A tutor *new* in the business... nooby newby... new! :D

That would've been bliss. It's much easier to study for maths.

not to mention painful....

BOS guy was visiting our school to talk about how the system works. I had a whinge to him about how Physics is not as maths based as it used to be... he replied in a wiseass manner. "So you'd prefer to do another 2 units of maths called Physics eh?" He laughed :/

Yeah I get what you mean. I suppose they tutor because they feel they can help out the next cohort and where there's a will there's a way :p

Yeah we're doing Harwood... have you got notes jess?

Ouch! So how many units of maths did you do? Six hours is sooo long. Dunno how you put up with it. Friend of mine made me study Economics for 4 hrs and my brain was giong to blow.

That's excellent... mine'll stays for an hour and a half when it's only supposed to be an hour session. Never said anything about being paid for an hour's.

I chose Physics & Bio initially. People told me Bio was easier than Chem so I went for that. I figured I'd do Physics because I wanted to do engineering at uni. Ended up dropping Physics & Bio :p

Yeah I agree about the moral support. My tutor is very very old and he has NO understanding about what kind of tension goes through my mind. It's been too long for him :p But I guess that's when I turn to friends who've finished school recently.
