Has anyone used Virtual Private Networking [VPN] at Sydney [http://itassist.usyd.edu.au/student/services/internet/vpn.shtml]?The costs are listed here - http://itassist.usyd.edu.au/student/services/internet/costs.shtml - and it seems to be only 2c per MB for wireless which is really cheap, plus...

Well, here's mine: Chem 90 - chem was suppose to be my best subject! I was so high on cold tablets during the exam I actually started laughing at one point, really sad :rofl: I feel sorry for my teacher, she was fabulous [yes I know a 90 is good, but my internal assessment mark was 97...a bit...

Okay, maths was admittedly my worst subject - 18% of $400 is 72 bux - the thing about the guy was one example out of money, it was just meant to be representative of a different scenario ie not someone in their early 20s. 'Just 13% pay child support in full, on time' Stephanie Peatling...

I can't find the reference but I recall reading a couple of years ago that the majority of non-custodial fathers pay either no child support or the minimum amount, which is $5 a week as they claim they have a low wage and could not support themselves if they had to pay for their kids. It seems...

I'm short listed too! :) Congrats! Being short listed means we still have a chance of getting a scholarship, depending on our UAI. Technically, the cut-off for the University of Sydney scholarship is a UAI of 95 [there are 150 of these across the uni not just in the Faculty of Eco+Bus, worth...

I got 97 in the CSSA trial and approx the same for my raw assessment mark but I certainly wont get that for a raw HSC mark...not that my teacher marked easy but I know I lost at least prob 5 marks, many more if they are harsh. If the raw cut-off for band 6 last year was 81, I think it would be...

Does anyone know why we aren't allowed to receive our cumulative mark? From what I've heard we can get our cumulative rank, but not the mark...not even on our end-of-year report. I understand that we dont get raw marks in yr 12 because of scaling and band cut-offs etc, but surely these dont...

Modern History - 98% [1] Chemistry - 93% [1] Mathematics - 84% [Top 8?] Mathematics Extension - 73%!!!! [6?] English Advanced - 90% [1] English Extension - 93% [1?] Economics - 95% [1] SOR 1 - 94% [1] Argghhh...maths is going to be the end of me this year :chainsaw:

In 2001, three girls at my school got all band 6 for SC. In 2003, they all got 99.x for their UAI. I just thought I'd add that cos most people seem to be saying that those who do well in the SC go crap in the HSC and vice versa. It really depends on whether or not you have the ability to work...

Nah, I haven't started studying...but I have notes so its just a matter of learning and applying them. Something for the hols. We didn't do much on Indo and Aus, although we had an assignment on comparing Australia and a country of our choice so that covers that. That's covered in depth in...

I like economics...its been fine except for a few contradicting definitions and stuff. What are you (and anyone else) up to? Also, is anyone here doing maths extension 1? If so, what are you up to and what textbook do you use? I swear our class is really behind lol. When are everyone's...

I do economics....we just started Markets (Topic 3), finished of the first chapter on Demand, that's where our half-yearlies are up to so we wont be going much further for the rest of the term.

Is anyone doing (nearly) the same assigment for heroism? We've been doing the war poems of Sigfried Sasson, and need to find one related text for this practice essay we're doing (it doesnt need to be on war, just about bravery and human endurance). Any ideas?

I'm doing Heroism (English Adv) and Feminism (English Ext). Any suggestions of texts that have something to do with the topics above would be very helpful. Thanks!

That's alrighty Slide Rule, I tend to take things literally so I missed your joke lol (I tend to miss a few jokes :p ). Your seriousness was somewhat refreshing though, considering how crazy everyone has been lately. All is forgiven :).

Thnx for the info Slide Rule, but you didnt have to be so harsh. I've tried saying hello but she didnt reply. Anyway, its only early days yet, she's only been at school for 2 days. Personally, I dont think she should be in or grade or at our school, take your pick, because she seems to already...

Gattaca is really good! I watched it in the holidays....its like in the future and everything is based on how good your DNA is. We're doing the Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolfe and Far from the madding crowd. I'm pretty sure the area is feminism.

No...nobody knows much about her because she's shy, but I know that she doesnt watch any TV and only listens to classical music...which sort of gives you an idea of what she's like. Everybody is afraid of her...its probably more psychologically damaging to us than it is to her. It's hard...I...

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is struggling with 3U and Cambridge (as well as the first week in general :) ). This is just chapter 1, and we're suppose to only be revising last year's work, but a lot of it is both very new and very complex. Is it just the textbook? Everywhere on BOS...

I got the following and as usual, the ones i actually reviewed (i.e. glanced at while watching TV) I got the worst in: Maths: 94 English: 95 History: 95 Geography: 97 Science: 97 Damn geography! I hate geography! We had the worst teacher...you watch, we'll get back to school and she'll...
