Re: Re: Re: 'Slice of Heaven' and 'drolle' Yeah I ended up dropping it... my teacher sucked. My parents wouldn't let me get a Physics tutor this early in the year. And I lost interest very quickly... I also thought 13u would be too much to cope with but having seen good performances from...

I think I should pretend that I type really slow because I get really lazy about writing notes up and very frustrated too when I mess things up & feel like I have to start over again.

Well usually older tutors tutor about 7 or 8 kids and most teach at a school as well so they have the constant practice and are probably fairly updated with the new syllabus.

I've been advised not to push the pedal to the floor just yet... that's probably true because we've still got a long while before the trials regardless of how quick the time will fly so going out all the way before it's *really* begun is just setting yourself up for a burn out. I'm reading my...

I find that if I type notes I end up just copying the notebook instead of actually reading and typing up only what I need. Writing's slower yes but probably better in the long run because you're sinking all that info in.

I prefer an older tutor for maths because I feel that you could attack them with any question as tough as it may be and they will not be hesitant. I don't mind paying more. I think for stuff like english & that I wouldn't mind a younger tutor. 20's probably a reasonable price for a new tutor...

Dude were you the one who put a lot of emphasis on critical material? Sorry I don't remember!

Hey people Was just wondering what kept you all going for 12 months. How did you stay motivated? I find that being motivated to do the work is hard for me at times. Thanks for all your help.

Omg all of you have done sooo well.. I'm really nervous about my subjects now coz my ranks are top 5 but I'm not good with the HSC papers. Well done!! Congrats to all. Smart bunch :p

Then there's the regret...

I refuse to believe that people can study 8 or 9 hours with their brains still screwed on after about 4 hours.

Over 99.5? There won't be many of them there!

Talk about coincidence... I just screwed up my maths exam too! So what's this about your predicted UAI? Did you work that out yourself?

Nurses. Overworked and underpaid :p

I'm scared I'm going to screw up big time in one exam or the other. The lack of confidence probably also stems from not working to the max but then I think to myself... its the FIRST term of y12... I don't want to burn out already so I try to work consistently.

I live in Kellyville which is 10 min away from Castle Hill... not sure if it's considered part of the hills!

I actually like the old blue Patel one. It's not very difficult and it's not so easy either. We were given that and Arnold (Cambridge). I'd have to agree with other people that Arnold is really difficult. Try Coroneus, that's supposed to be quite good.

Generalising is pretty useless when it comes to teachers. I go to a public school. My maths and economics teachers are pretty useless. I have to depend on my tutor for maths. On the other hand I have an *excellent* Software Design teacher. I wouldn't be able to get through the course without him.

I think that's because it's the 4th bloody term and we're all exhausted... we need a break! I'm happy that there are only 3 weeks left but I've got 3 maths assessments in each week :/
