It's obvious enough, but start revising early. I learnt to do this the hard way after suffering the ill effects of cramming. I find repetition is the best method, but study from a variety of sources, because ploughing through the same pile of notes is demoralising and monotonous as hell...

Gah, thats a pretty fucked up, narrow question. We did the Great Gatsby too, but our question was so generic. "All texts are a product of their time. Do your agree?"

Hello hello Icx! I found maths really good actually,. but i do general. I'm not sure how 'cookie' found his/her exam. How many exam to go Icx?

Yes, but the messed up society is the point. You strive for a utopia, you achieve a dystopia. Unfortunately, this messed-up society of intrusive surveillance and reactionary governments is rather prescient considering the current political climate. I see your point, but irrespective of...

Hmmm, I do genuinely like English, but I have to say that doing Shelley's Frankenstein for the whole prelim yr. was tedious. I still sometimes struggle with understanding how to strike that invisible balance between sophistication and 'overwriting'. I have to admit though, regardless, ext. has...

Church and state should be segregated. Otherwise you have a theocracy, and that clearly won't work.

Hey, just wondering what people think: Do you think there's a link between global warming and C02 emissions? Discuss.

Hey did any of you hear that Rowling is apparently going to write a Harry Potter encyclopaedia?

Considering that you're getting mediocre marks in English currently, I would recommend that you take Standard English. Talk to your year advisor or English teacher as well, so they can advise based on their impressions. I would advise against taking Ext, because it is a very demanding course and...
