Re: Preliminary HSC Yearly Exams Some of the more obscure subjects have already started the Prelimary HSC Yearlies, but for main subjects, they are during Week 8, 9 and 10. No one has started studying yet.

Good point - research has shown that students who rely heavily on tutoring to excel in subjects are more likely to drop out or fail at University, ironic as it may seem. I haven't had tutoring for any of my subjects since Year 6, but I guess peer pressure was starting to re-convince me? I have...

Re: 回复: Re: Is it possible to do well if Maths Extension 2 without a tutor? I like Maths when I am drumming away at a difficult question, and cannot seem to answer it. Then when it finally hits me, it's like a big HALLELUJAH and it makes me happy, lol. I also like Maths when I am able to do...

I see most people have read my thread on my subject selection crisis, lol. The thing is I have to get into the 80%+ range for 3 unit to be guaranteed a spot in the course. Intense two week, 3 unit training regime starts now. I was becoming worried about 4 unit Mathematics today because people...

Is it possible to do well in Maths Extension 2 without a tutor? As per thread title. I intend to do Mathematics Extension 2, but do not want to waste time tutoring. Is it possible to get into the top band without tutoring, but simply a lot of time, dedication and hard work? What do you think...

We must be looking at different sessions/lectures: My extract: BIOLOGY $560 CHEMISTRY $560 PHYSICS $560 MATHS 2 UNIT $560 MATHS EXT 1 $560 LOL.

Good to see there is someone in the same boat as me.

I saw the brochures for that in my school library. WAY too expensive, IMO, although the brochure is very convincing.

I'm starting to wonder if it's just stress getting the better of me. I was 100% into English at the beginning of the year, and with the exams coming up and this stupid, very hard, annoying English Extension assessment, I'm starting to burn out. I've got to start doing assessments the minute I...

Yeah, something like that. I'm going to sleep on it up until the holidays, because I have to worry about my Preliminaries first. I'll make a decision about it through a pro's and con's chart before the deadline for subject selections (which I'm not sure when that is).

Thank you for the insight. I don't hate English or Mathematics, mind you. I just like one more than the other. I've also had an epiphany that it would be MUCH easier for me to improve significantly in Mathematics rather than English Extension 1, which requires a heck a lot of patience in...

Capped? So let's say I was to get 100% overall what would happen? Please explain, lol. Never heard of 'capping' before.

Well, it's nearly the end of Term 3 and it's time for me to finally decide which subjects I'm going to keep, drop and/or pickup. I'm currently doing: English Advanced English Extension 1 Mathematics 2U Mathematics Extension 1 Ancient History Society and Culture Japanese Beginners Economics...

Economics. I do wish that I did Business Studies instead of Ancient History/Society and Culture. Three years of doing Commerce in junior years may have paid off.

Re: Year 11 Wokshops I heard it was very basic summaries, especially for the science subjects. And lol @ title of the thread.

Except valuable time which could have been spent on other subjects.

As per stated in the title. I apologise for being an absolute IT n00b. Furthermore, where can I download well designed Vista-styled, or Mac-styled themes for Windows XP?

Thanks for the suggestion and care to teach me how to load a Windows OS onto the Macbook later? Your comment isn't late; I don't plan to get a laptop until my birthday or Christmas.

I know two girls who do Engineering Studies. One is a very good all-rounder and the other is currently topping the subject.

Going to keep studying to a minimum (lol, what studying am I doing now?), and chillax as much as possible to avoid future burnouts.
