    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    Just talking logic, I would input all the data into an array. Search for the person's name, if not, create a new record. Then just go through the algorithm and find the maximum, and output the corresponding name. Is there a faster way to do it?

    WTF? Books??

    Economics - Tim Riley or Dixon, 2012+ since it's the new syllabus 4U - No textbook offers good explanations imo, but I hear Bill Pender is going to be producing something soon. Until then, Terry Lee. Software - Samuel Davis is the only option for the new syllabus. His book is alright, but he...

    Soooo pissed

    Annoying. At the end of the day there are some things that are just out of your control, you can only do your best, prepare as much as possible under exam conditions.

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    Come around Wednesday. The content in this subject is soo boring to study the 3rd-4th time. Not fascinating like science or economics.

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    Reminds me of a teacher at my school, teaches Phys/Chem. The guy is a genius, was researching after his PhD or whatever, but then he got married so needed more cash money, and thus he became a teacher...possibly a similar situation with maths? never really understood what mathematicians do lol

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    You are a lucky man. Does anyone here have incompetent SDD teachers? Like your teacher read the textbook 5 years ago and that's all they know? It's such a joke at my school. Teacher doesn't know ANY language and gives us these stupid sheets. I'm fine with learning on our own, which is what we...

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    We are unfortunately stuck with Visual Basic .NET The depths of my hatred for it cannot be fathomed. Since we're doing the Programming Paradigms topic, makes so much sense for us to learn Java...zomg.

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    Seems legitimate. Last year's test was quite easy imo, if you studied hard enough you could have got 100 raw, especially seeing as there was like no 5 markers. Wonder if they'll be hard on us this year, or since it's a new syllabus go easy on us. Expecting the latter here. Did you do the...

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    I'm glad. Was reading this: Section I – Core (20 marks) • There will be objective response questions to the value of 20 marks. Section II – Core (60 marks) • There will be approximately 10 questions. • Questions may consist of short-answer parts. • There will be approximately 24 items...

    Software Design & Development Marathon [2012]

    Has anyone seen the early SDD papers? They're terrible. They're so vague and are just like "write 7 marks on this". They're just filled with 6-8markers, it's as though the examiners were lazy or something. Nowadays they're so much easier, mostly 2-3 markers, occasionally 4 and very rarely 5...

    Practising in HSC writing booklets?

    Spiral you madman 50 booklets! That's like 8 for each questions...lol 12 is reasonable but still heaps seeing as there were 4 questions. That's like 9 pages for each? assuming you did less on your first 2 questions, damn you must write big.

    HELP!

    Just in terms of ATAR and you ranks, I would go all the way with Ext 2 English (since it seems like you're good at it) and keep modern definitely. Ideally you would do the two sciences, but if the work is too much I guess you could drop one. So I suppose like has been said, the best thing to do...

    Application to Selective High School

    Keep trying, can't see why not. Maybe try apply to a better school? If your report is good enough, some of the higher selectives do take people in in Yr 11-12.
