Re: Olympiads The exams for aso are timetabled to ensure fairness and integrity of the exam like the hsc. No one has been accepted for training in Canberra invitations will be given out during october-november through your school if you are in the top 23-25 in Australia.

Zomg my bio teacher cant teach!!! ^ I just sleep during bio or bludge and learn the stuff by my self. I got my modern mark back today for a source analysis speech for the major investigation i was one of the few who got 10/10. Yesterday the english head teacher at my school was...

In the HSC your exam is half critical and half creative you can never avoid the creative ascpect of english. Even in EE2 you must you creativity in any piece of writing even in a critical major work you must use something that isn't blase and create a hybrid essay.

Re: Olympiads For those of you who dont know www.aso.edu.au entries closed in July. I have met two people in person who were doing both chem and physics olympiads, one guy from normo and one from maq fields. Quite a few people especially from selective schools like NSB/G, SHS, Ruse, Baulko...

Zomg, I changed schools to Penrith last year but im in yr 11 this year. If you dont study or catch up work when you come to a selective school your results will most likely drop to the 65-80's level. Hey DH123 about 10 new applicants get into yr 11 prob more this year. It's not really...

Some info from UAC: http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/download.html "A question that is often posed concerns the relationship between the number of units studied and the UAI: ‘Do students gain a better UAI if they study more units?’ The data in Table A7 in the Appendix show that students with high...

You'll only have 10 units next year if you drop both extensions, thus leaving with you with no safety net if you bomb an exam. I would keep both extensions and try to improive. It depends on what selective school you go to, but it dosent really make a big difference. You cant compare maths...

I should of read the preface *Runs out to buy 3U Cambridge Y12*

Yeah it takes a while, it took a month for my resources to be added.

It seems stupid they would put plane geo, probability into yr 12 when most schools teach it in yr 11 and it's in most yr 11 textbooks.

It covers all the hard stuff of the 2unit course, stuff like prob, plane geomety etc has been left out of cambridge, most people at ruse use both cambridge 3u and 2U fitzpatrick (yellow book) and 3u fitzpatrick(green/aqua colour). The fitzpatrick books cover the entire course.
