Same, so..? @michaeljennings: Nevermind then. Don't you go to baulkham hills?

Ah well =/. By the way, do you do chem?

Hilarious, same comment goes for you. And my HSC is next year so I don't know what tight schedule you're working with thinking that 30 minutes of my time is a complete waste, but I plan on taking it easy the next few months.

Yes, what determines the things like being a state rank is how you perform on the day. If you have a cold, if you're nervous, it can all translate to mistakes in the exam. And I'm not even sure what we're arguing here since we're starting to agree. I'm not saying spiralflex isn't capable, but...

Where did I ever mention that he wouldn't get a state rank. I don't even care if he does, I'm talking in a more generalised sense. I'm saying it's unreasonable to think smartness = state rank. You're acting like only 5 people are capable of answering question 7-8. When it's HSC time, if you...

I won't be aiming to, after doing a lot of maths, you start hating it. I wouldn't want to aim for it then get depressed when not coming first after each internal exam. I fail to see what you said has any relevance to what I'm talking about. Are you saying since I may not be naturally gifted...

Yep, that includes me and the other tens of thousands of other people doing maths for HSC next year. And considering I'm already doing past HSC papers for ex1, the only thing I need to do is remain consistent.

o.O Ok, sorry :/ I never stated that Spiralflex wouldn't be a state ranker. I think I read somewhere that he goes to Harry's which I may be joining next term, so I'll see for myself. I'm just saying that even though you think you know everything, you should try to aim for consistency if wanting...

I'd definitely agree for english. Still, I maintain my position, people that are natural in maths may overlook the simplicity in the first few questions and make a mistake. Smart is not always proportional to consistency.

Nah, in a top 10 school, the top 10-15 all know how to do the last questions, trust me, it's the silly mistakes that kill you. The difference between coming 1st and 5th in our school is whether you forgot to add the minus in front of the fraction or something, not because of being unable to do...

And why exactly is spiralflex going to get a state rank for maths? Getting a state rank for maths isn't even about how smart you are - by the end of the year everyone is just as smart as each other, it's about not making the silly mistakes in questions 1-5

I'd say do 10. You're going to end up dropping 2 units anyway, so may as well do it in the beginning. I had the choice between chem/phys/bio. I knew now matter how much I tried, I was going to fail bio so I decided to drop bio and focus more on chem/phys. Doing 12 is if you're too scared. The...

When you do your past papers, do you do it under exam conditions or just pick the questions that you think are hard? For example, for maths, do you go straight to question 6/7 for 3 unit or do the entire test under exam conditions? Because it's a time consuming doing 2-3 hours exams for just 1...

This rap is real shit from the streets. Damn, if only big puns was still here. Man, I freakin hate Rebel XD. He has no technique at all - just spits syllables the entire song. Who wants to listen to that? Makes me wanna fall asleep. I like fast raps with technique - and not to the extent...

Sorry for the major one year bump (didn't want to create new thread), but is anyone going to or wanting to go to Eminem's concert? Hasn't been here for 10 years. Guest rappers include Lil Wayne and some random group called Hilltop hoods Dec 2nd, Sydney football stadium. And yes, I know tickets...

Yeah, this was one of busta's fastest verses. Have you heard the remix with twista in it? It's even better. I'd LISTEN to it if it weren't for Weezy rudely interrupting and killing the song. Even Chris Brown's lyrics were a bit corny. Do you know of any other raps with Busta rhymes in it...

Hahaha, I just searched for him in rap battles and he's pretty damn good! Even though (not necessarily in this case) 20% of what is said is from memorised lyrics, rap battles are awesome. Nothing's every gonna beat Eminem's freestyle - funny stuff (Stretch Armstrong gives Eminem a word and he...

Well, I'd say: English --> must be private. Different HSC texts and different prescribed texts in a public company would be crazy Maths/Chem/Phys/Bio --> Unless failing (under 80%), public is the best. Cheaper and if you need to ask something, you can just ask the guy next to you. Math/science...

This is the reason why you don't go to public tutoring. They just grab any half-qualified tutor and get them to work. =/ 90+ ATAR? I can get that easy. Unless you mean 90+ in the subject, you should take more time picking your tutors that are qualified and can help students get their best marks.

Get in your car, turn down windows, play some rap, blast the speakers, blast the subwoofer, blast the boombox // nah, just listen with ipod with earphones on medium volume (you still need rap though).
