not til july apparently :mad:

Ok i don't do marketing but i dont necessarily think that having an exam that's completely multiple choice will give international students that much of an advantage. the example question you gave "marketing is..." requires you to at least contemplate the meaning of the question and the...

Probably. Is anyone else getting the impression that we'd be a lot better off if they actually made sure that we know basic english grammatical concepts at school rather than making us memorise wanky essays about emotional journeys and whatnot...

It should be "One's view of the universe varies with the person's religion." You use the apostrophe to illustrate possession. Therefore, you must put an apostrophe before the 's' of "one" & "person" to indicate their respective possession of "view" & "religion. You would not put the apostrophe...

you can make your own poll you know.

oh, but you do

Seriously, don't worry. I did really well in my first assessments for yr 12 and then really stuffed up my half yearlies. I was really upset because I thought that that meant that I couldn't do well any more. I was wrong, because I still had plenty of opportunities to catch up on the marks...

write practise essays. you have to do it. it helps you to work out how much you can fit into 40 mins and it's much easier to remember something in an exam if you've already written it before. i know what you're thinking "but i don't have time to write practise essays, and i don't know enough...

Wait, hang on. Didn't you say you wanted to be a teacher? if you don't even enjoy learning at school, you're definetely not going to enjoy teaching. you shouldn't do teaching unless you are really passionate about your subject and actually WANT to spend the rest of your working life at SCHOOL...

When you say you build up your essay chronologically, do you mean that you write your essay according to a time sequence (eg. in 1914 x happened, then in 1915 y happened and in 1918 z happened etc)? If so, this is probably why you are struggling with writing your conclusion. Your essay should...

Most uni courses don't have any prerequisites, and although it helps if you've done similar subjects in HSC, it isn't entirely necessary to have done so. Even if the course you want to do at uni does have prerequisites, the universities usually offer "bridging" courses to allow you to catch up...

At least you'll be the only person to survive if you get a question like this: "Describe the Schlieffen Plan in great detail" [100 Marks] in the HSC. You only need ONE PARAGRAPH MAX for this point- it is only ONE part of ONE dotpoint in the most basic part of the entire modern history...

haha no, I'm not. I actually also agree that it really doesn't seem fair that people can get into uni with lower UAI scores just because they have more money, because for most people fee-paying simply isn't even an option, even with the availability of loans etc. (there's no way i could even...

There's absolutely no need to take down too many notes- get a copy of the syllabus and just structure them in terms of the dot points. Keep in mind that writing pages and pages of notes will not help you in the HSC or half-yearlies or whatever, you're much better of writing practise essays and...

Yeah and also, if they have the money to pay, wouldn't it be better off that they were in a fee-paying place rather than taking someone else's HECS spot in something else?

You probably can't, but can't you do the same subjects in 2nd sem anyway that you would do in com lib studies? I'd just do that, transfer next year and it shouldn't make much difference.

not all fee-paying students are filthy rich/have filthy rich parents, they just take out massive loans and hope to pay it back once they're in a high-paying job. and it's not like fee-paying students take the places of people who can't afford it.

Sure, if you're a talented student and/or are considering going to university, you should definitly consider staying at school. But school isn't for everyone. Some people are better off spending that 2 years doing an apprenticeship and working in trades and that sort of thing. There's nothing...
