There is no issue in learning ahead, however, I found the best way was to learn ahead in what was being covered that year. There's no point in you teaching a child something and they don't do it for a year and completely forget about it. Try to keep your child 2 topics ahead of the rest of the...

+1 This. Don't do subjects you don't enjoy, it's a simple as that.

Hows uni going? :P

Hey, do you do Commerce/Law? If so, at USyd or UNSW? :)

Woo...mid semester! 5% through my university life xD lol Anyone have any plans for the break? Hmm...where do I start? 1.Complete and annotate all my readings for Law and Arts. 2.Read, analyse and annotate Law assignment 3. Research and write World Politics assignment 4. Draft the script...

I doubt it'd be a private school. The expensive private schools (Kings, Scots, Newington etc.) are all ranked higher than 60. If it was a private school, i'd put my money on Moriah. It'll probably be a selective school, most likely Baulko (Fort Street is on the rise though, I hear :P)

Thanks :) I got it sorted out :P I should start getting them in 15 days

The best place for private study is the Burkitt-Ford Lounge. Not many people know about it. It's behind the chemistry building, in the Edward Ford Building. It's quiet, ariconditioned and has a lounge. Highly recommend it! xD

I still haven't received any newspapers...What should I do?

I have 4 hour breaks on Monday and Tuesday! I grab something to eat, meet up with friends, read and get soem work done in the library and go to Broadway! :) I used to think the only way to get to Broadway was to go through City road, then I discovered Victoria park! xD It's so close to USyd...

Maybe you don't hate University, maybe you just hate The University of New South Wales?

You must improve these ranks considerably if you want to get 98+. Here are a few examples: In 2010, my school was ranked 63. In 2011, my friend did the HSC and got 98.40 and he was ranked: 1st in Ancient & Legal, 2nd in SOR, 2nd in English Advanced, 10th in 2u Maths, 6th in 3u Maths & 1st in...

Bump! Btw, is it delivered through Australia post?

I have had an excellent first week at university! I've met so many different people, it's amazing. I'm learning about the age of exploration in History, about how George Washington and his army stood up to the mighty British empire and won, how Abraham Lincoln became president of a country that...

How about Subway? Alternatively, you could walk straight from Hogwarts, through Victoria park and into Broadway, there might be some healthy food there? Also, this week, I got free food Monday-Wednesday. The evangelical Christian group had a free BBQ outside Chem Building on Monday around...

I'm doing WRIT1002: Argumentation this semester. It's in Chemistry Lecture Theatre 2 from 11am-1pm on Tuesdays (it finished before 12:30 though). The textbook for argumentation looks really interesting! Feel free to message me if you'd like to see the powerpoints so you can decide if it's for you.

Wow great ranks there! I would say anywhere from 99.75 to 99.95. Don't be complacent, continue putting in the hard work throughout the year and you'll be getting an amazing ATAR! Keep it up :)

I was in a similar position to you. I went to a school ranked in the 60s-70s and I got into Law at USyd by doing mainly HSIE subjects. I did: Ancient, Legal, SOR I, Maths Ext 1, English Ext I. Don't worry about scaling. Just do your best in the subjects! Aim to get the highest ATAR you can...

I still think abortion is wrong, but of course, there are circumstances where it is necessary (e.g. if the mother's life is at risk). Honestly, if the guy uses protection and the girl is on the pill, and use the morning after pill, the chances of getting pregnant are ridiculously slim. If a...

Urgh. Pro-choice. If you really had a choice, why did you get pregnant in the first place? Now, apparently, I'm sexist and anti-female.
