how much money have you spent on study guides, tutoring, study camps etc.? (1 Viewer)

Couple of hundread.

 

[jamesboyd9]

awfully productive too! lolz.

i haven't spent too much. i do DT which takes up so much money - materials, printing, expensive portfolios and equipment, etc. and i get exam pens which are like $5 each. i don't go tutoring (thank god) and i don't use study guides.

what the fuck are exam pens?

in answer to your question, I've never been tutored, never got a study guide, the school lends us text books, I find old pens in the draw of the study, never been on a 'study camp' or whatever, go to a public school... basicly I've never spent a dime on school.

I'm still doing well though.

 

[marcquelle]

do you go to the same HS you did the first time round?

yes no shame in that, they had what i needed in subjects so yeah.

EDIT: And yes VINNIE HIGH BOTH TIMES

Exam pens are pens which are comfortable to hold and easy to write with.

Obviously, the concept of "doing well" is rather subjective in our modern-day society of relativism. Especially when misspellings like "draw" and "basicly" aren't really wrong, but just different and deserving of respect in their own right.

Wow, somebody needs to pull their head out of their arse. Hit a nerve there did I? Don't like the idea that people can be naturally smart without spending all their free time attending study lectures and recieving tutoring?

No, english is not my strong point (and I'm certainly not going to watch my spelling too carefully on an internet forum, where normal people don't care), but I am coming first in my SDD and chemistry classes, second in extension 1 & 2 maths and fourth in physics.

I don't like to sound up myself, it's just that you are a big twat. Enjoy all the friends that you probably have, and the exciting life you will no doubt lead, with all the free time you'll have in your boring arse fancy office job.

xoxoxo

Everyone needs a set of these.
I'm just really lucky because I can claim any pen/highlighter I buy on tax (my work is really stingy and they make you supply your own pens). The tax department can just believe that I lose a pen on every shift.

hence squishy grips, they make shitty pens into a fantastically comfortable writing experience!!

 

[poWerdrY]

my chem, phys and maths tutoring are useless. i could have achieved a very similar result through self study. but english tutoring is priceless. it allows someone to mark and edit your essays everyweek.
