    UAC not loading?

    Not sure if payed yet... Clicked on the make payment button and now it's been loading for like 10 minutes. The traffic and loading tomorrow is going to be crazy considering how bad it is now.

    UAC not loading?

    Far out, 5 minutes and the pop-up thing still hasn't loaded. Should've done this earlier! Late fees add $122 to the normal fee! That's ridiculous! They could at least have a better server so the site doesn't become 'dial-up speed' slow when more than a couple users are on. I bet they make over...

    How well do you know your own school?!

    Man, did you go to a catholic school or something? The teachers at my school never bother to bust people for roaming around. I remember after the School Certificate was over in year 10, for all of my 'boring' classes I would go down to the valley - a sloping hill of trees next to the oval -...

    My interview experiences and tips

    Wow, never knew companies had group activities for employing. That NASA task sounds fun. I'm not experienced in job interviews, but I've always heard that it's WHO YOU KNOW that helps land you the job. Like, become I regular or a friend of the manager. Then one day, casually bring up that...

    How well do you know your own school?!

    This doesn't really apply for all you graduated year 12's but more for the younger years: How well do you know your school? It wasn't till I nearly graduated that I realized there were so many doors and rooms I had never visited. I can guarantee that there are countless cool places you...

    What's better, typing or writing past paper essays/reports ?

    For practice, if I ever write stuff out, I do both. First, I'll type it out on the computer. It is a lot easier to keep track of what you're writing on a computer vs handwriting. You can fix spelling and grammar mistakes, and find out if you're overusing words. A lot easier on the eyes when...

    Why are YOU stressed for the HSC?

    I see your point, but the way people study as a response to external expectations reveals in my eyes much students stress. I know people who feel it's necessary do an all-nighter before an exam that they feel they are not ready for. And yet it's counter-intuitive: without sleep, they will be...

    Why are YOU stressed for the HSC?

    I must not be human or something, because I honestly have never felt stressed about the HSC. I'm usually uber relaxed before an exam and never really dwell on it afterwards like most people do. I mean I got slaughterhouse-5'ed in my Ex 2 Maths trials. During the exam I couldn't do most...

    Worried about uni hours if doing a science course?

    Thanks for the info guys. As for everyone saying don't worry about the hours as long as I love it, I think whatever I pick is a gamble. Like I might be really into physics, but then after a semester of learning it, I might start to hate it. Oh well, I'll just see what happens. But man, maybe I...

    Worried about uni hours if doing a science course?

    I went to the University of Sydney Open Day like 2 weeks ago to decide on what courses I could potentially take next year. I'm really interested in science, ranging from chemistry to physiology. But according to all the uni students I asked, doing Bachelor of Science requires 30+ contact...

    To past state-ranked students, did you guys stress?

    I have a few friends who accelerated in subjects and got state ranks. One got top 10 in chemistry and the other got top 20 for mathematics 2U. They were really motivated guys, but I don't think that they were stressed during their exams. I remember asking them about it and they said that it...

    Greenslip Price?

    Was thinking of buying a van/car after HSC and travelling around. But I then learned that greenslip - that compulsory insurance for pedestrians or whatever - costs like $1000 per year. Why has the price gone up after a few years? Do you guys know any ways of finding cheaper deals? Most...

    Deciding on University Courses and Careers

    Hey guys, I don't post much on this forum, but I guess I lurk around here every so often. Anyways, I know the UAC applications are around the corner, and some of my friends are stressing with what courses to put first, whether they'd get in, what uni to pick, which semester to start in, etc...
