    Congrats. We should probably move this discussion though before we get warned for being off topic on the Year 9/10 thread...

    There's quite a few really strong people and most people do the Asian 5 (I'm assuming its similar at your school?). Someone in my year accelerated 4U maths last year and state ranked in MX2 and got 100 in MX1. He's really strong in english, chem and phys as well so I reckon he'll dux it. I don't...

    Hopefully but I doubt it. This last english essay that I wrote was the worst one I've ever written in my life- we'll see how I go in that.

    Music while studying? Distraction or Motivation...?!? What do you think....

    Give it a go, you might be surprised. Having said that, if some material is really dry and hard to get, I might turn the music off for a bit to really understand it.

    Music while studying? Distraction or Motivation...?!? What do you think....

    Have you tried using music in your other subjects or are you assuming it won't work?

    With an attitude like that, you probably will fail one of them. I know I've probably been saying too many personal stories recently but I think the reason why I topped maths last year at school was because I was confident in my ability. There were some questions that had iffy answers and if you...

    Music while studying? Distraction or Motivation...?!? What do you think....

    Most of the time. I always listen to music when I'm doing maths. The only time I don't is when I'm doing essays for eco or english under exam conditions, and sometimes when I'm practicising short answer technique in phys and chem.

    This is well said. All year 10's take note of this. Also, just a bit of a personal story, don't pick subjects purely for scaling. Even though I do the so called 'Asian 5', I enjoy all of my subjects. This is probably the main reason I do well at school - its not hard for me for to study maths...

    Music while studying? Distraction or Motivation...?!? What do you think....

    Depends on the individual. Personally when I study I listen to music. Not classical like people recommend- just general stuff off my iPod. That works for me but others say its distracting. Basically, give it a go and see if it works for you.

    Why would you come into your subject choices with an expectation to fail? If you like science, go for it. Someone at my school a few years back did the 3 sciences and got 100 UAI. Basically, do stuff you like and have confidence in your ability.

    Except that he said that he also got under 60% in his T1 exam which had a 20% weighting. Just making a general comment though, don't worry about your grade. For example, last year (Year 11), no one in my year got an A for english and this is at a selective school. The most important thing in...

    How the heck do I scan in something as a PDF? or scan in multiple pages as one PDF?

    Re: How the heck do I scan in something as a PDF? or scan in multiple pages as one PD What scanner do you have? My scanner lets you scan directly to pdf, you just choose that option.

    Going off this, even though most people don't follow Christianity, our society is built on its principles. Our laws are based of Christianity, they start Parliament with the Lords Prayer etc.
