    How long does it take to be able to drive decently

    Like other people said, it depends on you. I got my L's in Jan and I'm still not able to drive by myself (well not very confidently) and I've had ~10 hours of driving experience. And the driving isn't the hard part! It's all the checks you have to do whilst you drive (I keep forgetting)...

    Is 2unit maths really hard

    Depending on the person... I personally found it extremely easy. Some of my friends who struggled with 2u maths improved by studying really hard, like crazy hard. It also depends on your natural ability, some people just find maths easy, others don't. If you're aiming for a 90+ atar, you don't...

    Post-grad students, how many units did you do and would you have changed anything?

    Re: Post-grad students, how many units did you do and would you have changed anything 11 units. Would I have changed anything? Yep. I wish I didn't do English Standard. It brought my ATAR down really badly. But I don't think doing another level of English, i.e doing advanced would have really...

    Should I change my tutor?

    To look for a new tutor post a thread or browse for a tutor----> here. And if you're worried about the money, most tutors offer a free first or couple of lessons. You can also negotiate for further lessons, I'm sure if you explain to the tutors they'd understand. :) Hope you resolve your...

    Should I change my tutor?

    I don't think you should dump this tutor so soon if they are as great as you have stated. Have you tried talking to him/ her why they aren't contacting you? Perhaps they're busy with something personal? I'd suggest telling them you have an important/urgent issue to talk about. I'm sure they'll...

    Student Start-up Scholarship question

    On my youth allowance notice, it said "you must study for at least the first 35 days from the date of qualification of this payment". When is the date of qualification? Is it the same as my youth allowance qualification date? (I just applied for youth allowance 3 weeks ago)
