You all have ridiculously good memory retention. Cudos to the HSC for the training, probably So you're defining photographic memory as only looking a sheet for a split moment and reproducing it. I'd say that's physically impossible because the eye can only focus on like, 6 words max at any one...

OP which course do you want to study if you do get a 99.95

IMO The fact you're going to college makes it so much easier to make friends, you guys have things to do during O week, meal times, etc. Say hi and smile as you walk in corridors and sometimes conversations do come up! Or there's stuff in the common room too

for anyone interested, try a chemistry compound, depending on the initials of your name

^That's still really impressive

Wow, okay, then it seems that even if you have it it actually takes effort...to memorise it And how long does it hold for?

And not sure if I posted this in the right thread, apologies in advance

Heya I'm sort of surprised there hasn't been a thread for this yet...but just out of curiosity, does anyone here actually have legit photographic memory or knows of someone who does? And does it actually help with high school and uni exams? And what is the capacity you have (like 3 A4 pages...

Crap, we year 12 Queenslanders will still be stuck in school during then

Does anyone reckon that the terrorist threat will actually be higher during the G20 in Brissy?

I think they us tasers and capsicum sprays and whatnot to neutralize the threat if they're already down?, if they're running at you with a knife then you actually shoot to kill The idea of shooting to kill, as opposed to inhibit or injure, is so that you don't abuse the use of a gun

Sometimes it's more than that. Unfortunately, many children today are raised with unsettling family backgrounds, no one cares about them, etc. etc., falls into depression, question the meaning of life, and in their pessimism and lack of hope they decide to join a terrorist group. It's not always...

Clarification: A policeman has the right to shoot anyone who is putting the policeman's life at danger. The fact that the teenager stabbed two of them is clear evidence of the danger they were in. That's just the policy of the police force. It doesn't matter whether he was Muslim, terrorist...

Oh good. I don't deal well with a guilty conscience though...ah well

Hey guys, I'm from interstate and will be applying to QTAC, UAC and VTAC. For QTAC, offers come out on 15 Jan 2015 and applicants must respond by 22 Jan 2015 10am. Meanwhile for UAC, first-round offers come out 21 Jan 2015 6pm and second-round offers come out 3 February 2015. My first...

Yeah, possibly

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'hard to fail'? I believe they take in the top 30, despite 48 people getting 99.95s in NSW + other interstate applicants. Also, does anyone know if the USyd interviews are as 'harsh' or structured as UNSW med interviews (e.g. having those rotation booths).

Another reason apart from USyd combined med is also for scholarships - both degree and accommodation at colleges, which can be incredibly helpful for interstate people too

Seeing that you're completing HSC in 2016, I'm assuming you're in Year 10, which means it's the last year for you to do the AIMO (11 Sept). If you want to get into IMO it's important to do well in the AIMO, get invited into the Olympiad camps, and then compete for a place in the IMO.

Oh discussing post-exam is definitely something I can't help...and either raises or lowers self-esteem haha!! Oh well, you've got 2 more years for ICAS Science!! And considering it's out of Australia, we'll definitely have to step up as a state. I've got no more maths/science high school...
