    The current school I go to is a min. of 13 units (Catholic School), but most people are doing 14 units (max.) But as I'm changing schools next year, I only have to do 12.

    public school

    Same here. Except mine's Private Catholic.. Teachers all suck except for English. Most of them are hopeless at teaching; some I questoin their qualifications. It's all like a lottery when you get your teachers for the new year. The only benefit is that its an almost perfect environment...

    Matrix?

    Re: matrix I remember reading that Matrix have like half their students coming from either selective or top 30 schools.. But that doesn't really mean anything. I think in year 12 its $1000 a term, a subject. I was speaking to a friend who goes there for both chemistry and physics; he...

    tutoring

    Matrix is hopeless for English, similar story with Discovery. Maybe try Pre-Uni, but after my experiences with coaching colleges, I tried a private tutor (who's a HSC marker), and I'm seeing a significant improvement in my English skills.

    New Ipods: which one should i get?

    It is possible; I've heard about people who have extensive CD collections, who rip them and put them onto their iPods.

    oh No!!!!!!!!!

    Counts.. depending on the school... At mine it counts a lot (like 40%) towards the report, and a little bit less for the actual SC grade (like A, B etc.)

    oh No!!!!!!!!!

    No. It's a trial.. Not the real thing..
  11. R

    oh No!!!!!!!!!

    First thing. Relax. Flick through some past papers, do a couple of harder type questions.. If you're not that confident with the non-calculator practice, practise. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/schoolcertificate/sc_mathematics.html

    Trials!!

    I'm kind of feeling the same thing. I know that I'm nowhere near as well prepared as I should be, but for some weird reason, this time around I'm not motivated enough. I'm trying to study, but end up doing other work.

    Co-ordinate Geometry Help

    I'm stuck on a coordinate Geometry Question. Your help would be appreciated. Given 2 points A(-3,1), B(2,3). The line segment cuts AB cuts y-axis at P, find the ratio AP:PB. Hence find the coordinates of P. If you could show me the working out it would help me a lot. Thank in advance

    If you're changing schools how do you tell your current school?

    If you wanna be polite and fair, I'd do it asap, cause I'm guessing that there are guys waiting on the reserve list for year 11 09.

    If you're changing schools how do you tell your current school?

    IF your school has an enrolment secretary, or something like that, I'd write a letter to them saying that you no longer wish to continue your senior school education with them, or something alon those lines. I guess its up to you; if you go to a private school or somethiing like that, you...
