    Biology or 4 Unit?

    yr12 bio is 10000x better than yr11 bio though honestly if it were me I'd keep all 13 units (I did very similar subjects in yr12) but if you're really struggling with the workload, probably wait until after your first assessment block and see which one you found most difficult to study for.

    UNSW EAP program

    The UNSW website asks for documents certified by a Justice of the Peace. Does this mean the original documents need to be certified and scanned, or can I copy the documents, get the copy certified by taking the original in, and scan the certified copy? Thanks in advance lovelies :)

    how to staple lots of pages

    idk whether a print place would do this but we have a print centre at our school (lel so pretentious) and they can staple up to 50 pages, might be worth asking one of those places that does the printing thing for you

    Modern History Source Based Exam

    Source analysis is a formula. Honestly, if you follow the basic formula with a decent amount of skill, you're guaranteed a good mark. Basically: Paragraph 1: Source A reliability: - State the type of source and link to reliability - State whether primary/secondary and link to reliability...

    How to study for a listening task AOS Discovery?

    We had an unseen film extract for our first AOS task. It's semi-unpreparable, but if yours was the same as mine, where we had to reference our core text, do prepare two flexible paragraphs on your studied text. While they're playing the piece, make the most comprehensive notes on techniques...

    Best number of units to have for HSC

    I did 13 and loved them all, any workload is possible if you're committed to it. that being said, 11 is probably ideal for maximum atars

    Any 2015s doing 4U maths? (Also 2015 4U maths thread)

    yeah I thought the actual understanding involved in 4u wasn't as bad as it's made out to be, the difficult part for me was really just having the ability to attack those weird questions which comprise >50% of the 4u exams

    Real talk: What is the point in English?

    Board of Studies has a rationale on their website haha summarised: - English is our national language and also useful internationally - It allows you to understand the use of language/techniques, meaning you'll be able to manipulate these yourself in the future - Lovely postmodern attitude...

    probability killer question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Do you have the answer? I'd work out the probability of each possibility - you can either draw BBG, BGG, GBG, or GGG - and add them together. (Could be wrong hahaha, probability was always my weakest topic)

    JMP Interview offers 2014

    I think the theory that UoN letters were sent out later than UNE letters is correct, because my neighbour received his UNE interview offer on Friday, and my UoN one arrived today. So don't stress cuties, you may have a UoN interview in which case it'll arrive soon :D good luck everyone! edit...

    is ext 1 worth keeping ?

    Pretty sure you just answered your own question. If you have 11+ units, keep it, give it your best shot, and if you screw up it won't count anyway.

    Maths Extension 2? Should i do it with 13 units?

    Because year 12 isn't just about the ATAR. Yes, the HSC is a means to an end, but if you can cope with more than the minimum and you enjoy your subjects and being challenged, why would you sacrifice that enjoyment just to do a little better in those core subjects? Honestly, I have never...
