    School Leavers Scholarships

    i got the day before yesterday, and they were dated 18th dec, so there are delays in the mail. perhaps they release it in 'waves'? faculty of E+B tends to be notoriously slow

    If you are in year 11, read this first.

    if you've been told that you're capable, or if you have reason to believe you're capable, JUST DO IT. DO 4 UNIT MATHS! i regret horribly not doing it. the scaling is so good it's not funny. even though it's extremely hard, it's easier to get 50% in 4 unit than 90% in pdhpe or something like...

    School Leavers Scholarships

    either way, don't they have to tell you whether you got it or not? anyways, good luck with it! mine only arrived late yesterday, and they can get pretty tardy with sending these things out. but i'm sure that if you were shortlisted, you have a brilliant chance.

    Just A Little Advice To High Achievers

    lol yea but in restrospect, i shouldve done 4 unit maths and dropped legal. to everyone, DO 4 UNIT MATHS. JUST DO IT. hahahaha. though i think there's hardly any doubt you'll be doing it. yer it was a bit too 'spread out', i would rather have smashed just 10 units of it and went crap for the...

    Unexpected results?

    soz for very late reply, but I read on a BOS thread that it's impossible for your mark to go down if you do a clerical recheck. i would ring them up, but im pretty sure that if you thought your mark was crap for what you did as it was, it probably won't get any worse

    Just A Little Advice To High Achievers

    guys it's SIMPLE. if you do high scaling subjects, you have leeway to do a little worse. if you do 'low scaling' subjects, you pretty much have to smash them if you want an awesome result. it really depends on your AIM, what you LIKE, and what you're GOOD AT and WILLING TO PUT WORK INTO. be...

    School Leavers Scholarships

    The application form thingy says 9th of January is when they shouldve sent most of them out. However, i HAVE been getting a bit nervous because some other people from faculties other than eco + bus have received their scholarships already. SO yeah, i wouldn't panic now. Okay fine, I'm...

    Just A Little Advice To High Achievers

    in relation to the no. of units thing.. IF you have a subject you know you won't do as well in, then drop it. i regret keeping extension english, knowing that it was my weakest subject. probably spent wayyy too much time on that, whilst it couldve been devoted to something else. in the...

    Clerical Recheck- Chance of Worse Mark??

    everyone ABSOLUTELY sure that your mark can't go down if you get it rechecked?

    Clerical Recheck- Chance of Worse Mark??

    yeah, i reckon that you should run the risk of getting a lower mark. and i doubt that your mark would be wrong unless it's SEVERELY off, ie. they missed an entire page or something. otherwise i'd think it just wouldn't happen that said, though, im thinking about getting one done for either...
