    yourformal.com scam; formals cancelled at last minute

    Yep, our school got tricked by this company. We were told on Sunday we had to pay extra in 24 hours or have it cancelled, but after some of the students got lawyers onto the case they said we didn't need to pay. By then it was Tuesday. Then on Thursday they announced that the formal was...

    Assessment ranks are in!

    Rather disappointing to see my rank stay the same but see the number of people in the course drop. According to this, there are now 2 less people in English Advanced, 3 in Mathematics and 1 in Biology. But I guess there's nothing to complain about.

    how much did you write?

    Couldn't get a full page for the AC generator question since I severely misread the question and couldn't think of much for it. For the rest of the questions I must've written at least one more line more than the space given. I even wrote an entire page for the space shuttle question. I feel...

    Wow a heck lotta time

    I'm going to work for a lot of the free time I have and use that money to buy music, CDs and vinyls, I've been meaning to get for a while but haven't because of how little I worked preparing for the HSC. That and hang out with friends I've been blowing off because of Year 12.

    It's the end...the dawn is upon us

    I was actually feeling rather sad to leave high school for the last time today. I was excited to be out of my last exam but while I was wandering the halls and playground looking for teachers to sign off my completion form I was overcome with nostalgia for it. Most of the memories I had of high...

    Anyone received 'acknowledgement' of their USYD scholarship application?

    I checked the site several days ago and the date was changed to the 31st of October, and I ended up receiving an acknowledgement email on the 27th, a day before the initial date. If you haven't gotten a message from them at this point, maybe you should check your copy of the scholarship...

    How much did everyone write for the essays?

    6.5 pages for the essay and 5.5 pages for the creative. That's 3 booklets for the essay and 2 for the creative. All of the posts here makes me feel like I haven't written enough at all, even if my writing is a little smaller than everyone else's.

    Not happy jan

    Exactly. All I did was to quote the statement, have it as a thought within the protagonist's head and then move into the third person. It's really not that hard.

    Crime writing - creative section

    I thought it was easy. Best part was that I didn't have an introduction for my idea but I just used that, put quotation marks around it and turned into a character's thought.

    Extension English: Chances the question asks for 3 prescribed texts?

    Along with 3 prescribed, I'm worried that BOS is going to trip us up with really hard questions. Considering what's happened with a lot of the exams this year, it seems like you have to be prepared for the worst. I'm doing crime and all of my texts are interconnected somehow in their themes...

    physics/Chem final prep

    I wish I had the people here's enthusiasm and confidence with chemistry and physics. All I can say about it is that I am royally screwed for them, especially chemistry. There's too many concepts to memorise and they don't stick in my mind at all and I've had a terrible teacher for physics for...

    Might want to rethink Q20. That should be C instead of A.

    Pyhsicss Predictions

    Harder, always harder. But if you want question predictions, I swear the OPERA neutrino anomaly is going to make its way into the paper somehow. If they did end up doing the paper back in April or something, I think they might've changed a question just to squeeze this in. Could be wrong, but...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    That was a hard paper. I was confident with a lot of the topics and I studied heaps for the paper and it just so happened that the majority of the paper had questions which I was hoping wasn't going to be in the paper. I was hoping for a band 6 but I'm I'll be lucky to manage a band 5. EDIT...
