    I uploaded 17 English Past Papers for your study pleasurr.

    You're welcome, I hope they're useful. I found them particularly useful during STUVAC and after trials, so if I were you I'd save them to a folder on your computer. But if you have enough motivation to do some during these holidays, I applaud you.

    Reputation or scholarship?

    And you've taken this long to realise that? ;p I swear, whilst stalking every 'post your ranks!' or 'post your marks!' or 'what atar are you aiming for?!' thread this year, my sense of inadequacy increased ten-fold. BOS Y U SO SMART!?

    Reputation or scholarship?

    Grr, I had some friends who accelerated who did that. It sounded really good. I was actually accelerated in English from years 7-10, but I dropped out (even though I was getting straight A's) because I didn't think I was good enough to go on to senior english. The teachers didn't agree with me...

    Reputation or scholarship?

    ;D Well I'll probably see you there then, I'm planning on doing some philosophy electives. And I'm glad you're going with what you want to do rather than the money. I hope we both don't regret it XD We won't, we won't.

    Oh yeah, come to think of it, the 99.95 at my school this year had no tutoring. : )

    how much Study have you done During holidays??

    Also when you're trying to study for exams, you can't be reading through the entire textbook for revision, it's much easier if you have a condensed summary to jog your memory.

    Reputation or scholarship?

    Ahh you seem to be in the same predicament as me! I was given a $4000/year scholarship for my local uni (worked out to be $20000 if I did a creative arts/arts double degree), but I'm going to USyd for just plain Arts now, and I won't be getting any scholarships there :p I was also worried...

    Extra Curricular Activities

    Lol not even. The only thing that your ATAR is good for is getting into your course. At USYD they shortlist you based on what you've done/your personal statement, before ATARs are even released. Edit: I wouldn't go back as far as year 6, and I wouldn't really emphasise 7-9, but I suppose you...

    Extra Curricular Activities

    Have you tried organising a social justice group or something? I know that Oxfam and Amnesty and World Vision are more than willing to email you stuff if you say you're interested in starting up a club at your school. Even if you start it and you only get a couple of members... I'm sure you can...

    Prestige or the course?

    Thanks so much everyone for all your UOW advice. Aqua: Yeah it is actually a repeating scholarship, $4000/year. So if I do end up knocking it back, it will be hard. :s Shadow: They're not all Asians, but yeah the main students who use the shuttle-bus are. Maybe less international students...

    Prestige or the course?

    Mmm, thank you, you are clearly articulating the rational side of my brain which has been repeating those two words every time I start thinking about USyd. And you, the irrational side of my brain. ;p And you... well, you're reinforcing my original assumptions that I was trying to get rid...

    Prestige or the course?

    I am wasting a $4000/year scholarship at UOW to go to USyd... and I'm only doing arts... BAD IDEA? :| Edit: It's not just for the prestige. It's also sort of for the independence.

    Parents reaction to ATAR?

    Mum was happy because I was happy. But if I was happy with a mark in the 70's, she would have been happy, haha. I think she's just really confused as to why I studied so hard and only want to do arts or fine arts. She is still deluding herself that I'm going to become a brain surgeon. Lal. I...

    Who uses their ipod while studying?

    I remember when I used to do maths, (haw) I could listen to music and it would be fine. I found this year though, that I also got used to doing my work in silence, and that music was a distraction because I'd either feel like dancing, just stop writing and stare at the wall listening, or the...

    Prestige or the course?

    I KNOW RIGHT. Sucks even more that I'm trying to decide between Wollongong and Sydney, and the two seminars I'm interested in are half an hour apart from each other... And it takes an hour to get to Sydney... ... FUU-
