    Wow. I can't believe that cosmology isn't being offered.

    Ummm, nah I didn't hand in anything else. That's the exact same form. Just fill it out and you should be sweet :)
    O
    its brilliant :)
    nice long story, though gold/silver was kinda longer since you have the johto and kanto areas to go thru.
    This is why i really cant wait till heart gold/soul silver are released in english (i have it in jap, cannot understand lol).
    also, if you have a look in the Pokemasters social group (which ive noticed you're a member of), you can see my idea of a good pokemon game

    please dont call me that, i find it very unsettling and i am also not gay.

    Thanks :)

    I did a parametrics presentation to one of the 3u classes this year. Over 40 slides! Some parts of it can get tricky.

    Do you get the day off?

    I only got the day off between 4u and 3u. My curriculum coordinator is strict.

    Hmm. When you do past papers, I assume you mark yourself. Look at where you went wrong and ONLY study that. There is no need to study what you do know - what a waste of time. Then, once you have polished up on your weaknesses do the next past paper. Identify weaknesses, work on them, and do the next one etc etc ad infinitum.

    Maybe go through the syllabus? I printed it out and ticked off everything, maybe did a worked example on a point that I was hazy about.

    That's about it. My study on the day was a formula sheet my maths teacher had made for our class. He actually sells them now, but I don't know where - he left at the end of last year.

    That's it. None of that study note crap. You only need the formulas for 2u and 3u (to an extent, 3u needs some logic). Lol, maybe even do some Sudoku or something, get some logical skills.

    That's the right attitude. (Y)

    Just don't work too hard this week. Do maybe 2 past papers throughout the week and another two on the weekend. THen just go over the course material on monday/night. you don't want to get rid of adrenaline; I actually find that I work well under pressure (hence me kind of putting english study off lol)

    Sometimes I didn't. I've now learnt to the contrary.

    So you're doing math's next week? Nervous?
    jet
    Yeah. I've worked out that if I write the references in the bibliography as I'm referencing them in-text, I save a lot of time and effort sifting through my internet history.
    jet
    Yeah. We started with ~32 and finished with close to 20. That might give you a gist of the difficulty/amount of work. It was hard with assignments - they often clashed with exam periods. It was always a night before thing for me. Not easy when it's 2000 words and fully referenced.
    jet
    Well it's hard to say. We are assessed on three assignments, two exams and a major project.

    After the first exam and the first two assignments, I was =3. I did pretty well on the third assignment but I can't say how that affected things.
    jet
    Well, you're halfway there. Though, I do have to say after speaking to the coordinator that it doesn't look good for next year... You'll definitely find out next term however.

    It is quite a heavy workload. My problem was that everything was electronic - all textbooks and readings. Generally it took me ages when I started, but when I got used to the style of writing and the terminology, it got easier, and I could skim read.
    jet
    I loved it. The coordinator was amazing, and the residentials were fun. Unfortunately heaps of people dropped; there are actually less people in the course than BOS published in the Media Package.

    Are you accelerating? That's the only requirement along with good academic performance overall.
