    Study Discussion

    Re: Study Habits When HSC exams come around, disconnect your computer. It's painful, and super hard to follow through with, but it works.

    Distinction Course Discussion

    I may be too late, but.. I did Philosophy in 2007 (ages ago now), ended up with 91/100. And it counted over my Software mark of 95/100. It's an interesting course, not too difficult as long as you can follow a logical argument, and it just looks awesome on your HSC final report. Plus the...

    Prelim exams in comparison to HSC.

    After all the initial preliminary assessments, I didn't do so well in the Prelim exams, but that was probably because by then, I'd figured out just how much they counted towards my HSC (i.e. ZERO, zilch, nada). You have one year to change your attitude to study, to change how effective you are...

    Scaling: whats the go?

    There are some threads around here that reveal the general alignment change to raw marks in previous years (up to 2004 I think) - for instance, if I recall properly, an 81/100 English raw exam mark translates to an aligned mark (the mark that you see) of 90/100? It was something similar to that...

    Text types needed

    As long as you're consistent with how you apply a 'text type' format, across your response, you should be fine. I don't think the examiners would quibble too much over preferring any particular format.

    A Comparison of Textbooks

    All you need for Maths is an excel book, and a past papers book. Then you're set. It's all I used anyway, and I didn't do too badly.

    Difference between Accounting & Finance?

    I know this is for UNSW, and I don't go UNSW. BUT: Don't do accounting. I'm assuming it's the same all over. Look - it's easy if you study for it -sometimes anyway. But God help me, it is sooooooooooo friggin BORING!! You will die of boredom- literally, melt of boredom, melt into a little pool...

    anyone know how ancient scales?

    Well, you know the HSC marks that BOS reveals? i.e. the aligned mark? You want to be aiming for around a mid-band 6 aligned mark, if you don't want Ancient History's scaling to work against you. BUT a mid-band 6 aligned mark is easier to achieve than you think! From past results, I'd say you...

    The Dark Knight has soared to 8 box office records and one of them is the biggest film openings in history with over $155million dollars, overtaking Spiderman 3's previous record of $153 million.

    The Shittest Movie Ever.

    I hear the love guru is supposed to be bad? Anyway, Charlie Wilson's War. I expected so much, from those big actors. Got shit flung in my face. Seriously - okay plot, but it ended soo quickly, I was like.. WTF. Waste of my monies. BTW - The Dark Knight is out. Just thought I'd remind people -...

    The Dark Knight

    watch the movie twice. second time round it's way better - you actually understand the whole thing (although you get most of it even so in the first watch). I loled at the joker's magic trick. Two face was okay - got a good scene before he turned two face though, it was sooo sad :( Serz...
