I haven't really spoken to mid tier/top tier firm employees before but my general experience with legal practitioners is they love to show off and be experts to newbies. We had one of the leading members of the Newcastle Law Society come to our school. He quite literally introduced himself by...

I do humanities too but I planned them out so its not a disadvantage. 3U english and SOR II are my big guns, modern history used to be up until this year when I got a dodgey teacher. If I had my time again I would have picked my lines differently so I could avoid a few shit teachers :)

On this topic whilst this may not be an issue at select schools are many of you finding that half way through year 12 a lot of uninformed kids only just figured out their subjects scale like a pile of shit and so they start cramming constantly to make up for it? There's one boy at my school...

You shut the fuck up you fucking sons of bitches, go suck Warner Bros. cash inflated jew cock. Motherfucking cockfaggot.

It was incredibly gay because its fucking cliche as you son of a bitch. 'one of your friends will die, you decide' If you thought the anarchy theme was brilliant you're a fucking idiot. It was a half assed attempt at a moral social commentry ('how should America fight terrorism?') its been...

Chameleon or pretty much anyone who's willing to reply I'm a bit of a thread necropheliac and I've been digging through old posts. Quite a few of you mention that a few years ago Newcastle 'opened up the floodgates' what did you mean? I've noticed that the UAI's for a lot of courses (aka...

Don't mean to be a thread necrophile, but has anyone thought of emailing a couple of mid tier/top tier law firms or barristers and asking their opinions of certain unis? I would but I'm too scared.

LOL !!!11 You're a girl, you're meant to be prudish :P

Haha, yeah I found him on the bread n' butter myspace site, apparently he's a pretty sick DJ.

Geez calm down man, its full of sarcasm (you can tell from reading my previous post). Nobody thinks like that, you'd have to be stupid beyond belief. The HSC is effected by so many outside factors (girlfriends, certain teachers, sickness, breakdowns, dodge assignments etc etc) for it to be...

Nah dude, the HSC is the be all and end all. When you get a job you will be refered to by the UAI you got. Whether you get a nice chair also depends on your ability to top economics. A month ago my cousin (94.7) married a 92.3. My family was discusted, she is a disgrace.

Of course it is, a 97+ is fucking awesome for anyone, and a 95+ is pretty fucking good too. Whilst you want to do the best you can and certainly there's a lot of prestige doing law at USyd, within 3-5 years nobodies going to give a shit whether you got a 99.xx in the hsc or a 96, including...

I didn't see the 2007 scaled marks, though I heard they had been the best year yet. wow religion has really dropped since previous years, I take back what I said. Though if you're a humanities driven kid the 'hardcore' subjects are still: - the 2 extensions (english and history though...

Man my parents work in public schools, I'm 90% sure there is no difference in pay and if there was it would be minimal, otherwise there would be legal rammifacations.

Mate check out the 2004-2005 hsc scaling patterns (on this website). Out of 50 points per unit: SOR II - 31 Phyics - 32 Chem - 35 And SOR has gone up.

Do you go to SFX at all?

You absolute ignorant piece of shit. If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know that Studies of Religion 2U scales up there with physics and chemistry. Last year it scaled higher then any year previous, and my diocease met up and had a flap off about a kid who got 2nd in the...

Whilst I agree that to a large extent it is the students who drive their work teachers play a large role as well. Having a teacher who's taught a subject for decades/marks the hsc is an enormous advantage. They can show students the mechanics of learning (buzz phrases, key points, 'fishing'...

I go to a school ranked 187th, for the most part the staff at my school are older/better then those in the rest of the region (we're a rural area) but there are a few exceptions... - My modern history teacher is shit, he gives us excel/maquarie photocopies for notes - My advanced english teacher...

Being her best friend I could quite basically write an erotic novel with all the details I hear. Lets just say his parents have a problem with all the cuts on his back :P
