Is there much point trying after your class rank has been locked in? (Obviously you'd try during the external exams). First English assessment last term was 25%, half-yearly and a seperate exam this term are 20% each...what's the point trying after this term in English then? 65% would have...

At the end of last term we did our case study. Our class did China. Question I'm asking is, is the case study assessable in the external exams? People would have been doing vastly different case studies and it would be worrisome to mark, I mean teachers aren't exactly experts on every country...

So my half yearlies are in 3 weeks. I'm not quite sure how to study for them; should I study for my last exam first, and work my way in so I'm studying for my first exam last (ie. closest to the actual exam?) Or the other way around so I study for my first exam first? Either way there is a...

"Australia relies on the savings of the rest of the world to fund a current account deficit". Which part of the Capital and Financial Account includes loans (the principal not the interest)? Is it direct investment? My textbook (Dixon) is pretty ambiguous about this.

So these Aboriginal communities in the NT and such, as far as I'm aware they have no sustainable industries if at all, and only exist as a result of Federal government pumping money in. If we stopped putting money in they'd collapse (if they haven't already, lol). What benefit does the...

So someone asked if I wanted to tutor them for Mathematics, and I don't want to dive in without not actually knowing what I'm doing since the burden of their performance will be partly my responsibility. Any tips? EDIT: Probably the wrong place.

I've been reading lately about how Kevin Rudd may embark on another jaunt this year in an attempt to entrench himself as a man of action on the international stage. Instead of climate change, this time it would be nuclear disarmament. I have always thought that 'Mutually Assured Destruction'...

If you cast your minds back to the Danish Mohammad cartoons non-scandal.

What are some more epic movies? As in epic in scale, the genre, not as in zomg that movee is so epic!!1 Movies like LotR, Braveheart, etc.

Does the newspaper you read necessarily imply a correlation to political persuasions? I can't stand broadsheet papers tbh, even though I hate the trashy tabloid stuff.

Who's going? I just got tickets for the Saturday at 2pm. I went to the one this year and it was awesome! Can't wait to see what they do this time.

Where are you finding your texts? I've located a few online that I would like to pick up but I couldn't find any of them in the library, so it looks like I have to purchase them. On a side note, if I do purchase them can I claim them on that government rebate thing and get the money back?

Directed at 09ers :P At my school our reports say how many days we've had off and how many are unexplained and explained. So, how many did you have for year 12? Just wondering lol

BoS was in the newspaper today: Headline: Student fascism Source: Daily Telegraph

So far looking at people's ATARS, they're either 90-95+ or below 60. Where are all the 70's and 80's? Wasn't 70.05 the average this year?

Now I know there is a subject about aims for these holidays, but this is more directed towards 09ers and co. I know Namu spent like 2 hours a day doing maths...should we go strong or take it chill?

So yeah, I never spend enough time actually writing before I do tests. Where can I find some past papers to practice? Besides the past-HSC papers on BoS.

Obviously a lot of yours will, since your in the 4U board. More or less just wondering how many DON'T since my year doesn't have one. Not a very mathematically inclined year. Only about 8 people currently doing MX1. We had one last year though. EDIT: Apologies if this has been posted already...

So at the moment my class has nearly finished WWI Core Study (currently doing the Armistice; point 4 of the syllabus). So keeping this in mind, my study notes (using the syllabus) is currently 26 pages long. It will only get bigger once we get this last topic down. Is this too big? Will it be...

Self-explanatory. Yes I know it's year 12 but you can't keep vigilant the whole time >.< For me it would have to be either IPT or English. Bludge the least in Mathematics, sit by myself (of my own accord).
