Exams were last week, and I'm taking it easy until the holidays. Got a bio prac due 2nd day term 2, so I will be busy in the holidays.

Take it seriously, year 11 is when you get everything sorted out. In year 11 you should be working relatively hard, but keep it at a level at which you won't burn yourself out and start experimenting with how you study, practice for exams, how to tackle exams and also what a healthy balance is...

I play Jazz sax so I know all these artists and more. I also looooove of Latin music.

Going back in time. Tony Abbott's a fucking idiot!

Just finished Oedipus the king (4th century BCE) by Sophocles and now reading the Canterbury tales (14th century CE) by Geoffrey Chaucer. Love ancient/old poetry and plays! :spin:

Had the same problem in the beginning of year 12 (term 4 last year). During the Christmas holidays I came to the conclusion that I had a problem. So I decided that when I got back to school I'd get serious. I started doing more exercise and sticking to a strict routine. I do study in the...

A kid in my school a couple of years ago was ranked first internally. He got sick and did barely any of his External exams and was Dux!

One boy at my school did music 2 through correspondence. Although I wouldn't advise it, it's lonely, boring and time consuming, I did correspondence German and hated it. I'm a jazz saxophone player and I find that you just have to make the course work for you. The other two students in the...

Na. Only in kindy. It's the twat that gets in trouble that nobody likes, once you grow up. They get other people caught and involved! :punch:

Never had a detention. Never gotten in trouble. Being loved by the teachers can be incredibly handy, I can get away with all sorts of things.

In the HSC they aren't testing how smart you are but how hard you work! :smile:

I'm right in the middle of my half yearly's and I feel the same. I've got 2U Maths and music (performance, oral and composition) tomorrow, and I'm just over it. I find it so hard to concentrate in class and I have to force my self to do the bear minimum. sometimes I feel like going to sleep or...

I don't know about all subjects but it is possible in English. My uncles an English lecturer at UNE. He said that the people who do really good at English at school don't always do well in university, because the courses are different. the course at university is an English course while the...

I realised people weren't as scary as they may have seemed! There's no instant way to become more confident, it takes time. I find it helps to find something your good at and find friends that have similar interests or talents. I'm good at sax and I have a lot of friends that play music. The...

Good advice. I just dropped, Last week and I had a similar problem. My old teacher set really hard tests and a good mark was over 50%, people rarely got over 70%. I went okay with about 48%, but the stress was just to much and I had 13 units. With 11 units I'd keep it as long as possible if I...

Always the case:)

Good Luck

I Am/Was the same? I skipped year six and didn't know anyone at high school so I was really nervous and a bit intimidated (not because I wasn't smart enough I was in all the tip classes). So I kept my distance from everyone, never taking risks and revealing my feelings. It was like being two...

Sophistication is important but not if it interrupts the flow. A good story is interesting, easy to read and has a sort of rhythm to it. Sophistication AND Flair! One easy and effective way to add sophistication is to use different sentence lengths. Sometimes a one word sentence can be...

Just did 2U SOR and Chemistry. SOR was horrible. Chem okay. English yesterday, Almost died in exam!!!
