    Organising Notes

    only problem with bringing folders is the weight in ur bag.....12-13 units = ~6 subjects. that'd be 6 folders. i find my bag fills up pretty quickly just with exercise books and textbooks for each subject.

    Is 14 units too much for the HSC?

    wow. that's gotta take the honour of the most units (as far as i know). any particular reason y ur taking so many? the workload must be pretty big. i've already got a fair pile of holiday homework for my 13 units (see sig.) :)

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    i used to do web designing as a hobby. i started when i was 12, but since last year i slowed down and eventually stopped. it's pretty fun, although i was never that good at the "designing" bit, but more at the coding bit. :)

    Organising Notes

    i've seen kids walking around with huge folders of books and sheets, but it seems too awkward and a waste of energy. i usually carry a pile of sheets about half a cm to 1 cm high in my book (in a plastic sleeve).

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    i wonder y they use [ and ] for html tags. i'm used to the < and > that's used in websites, so it used to be annoying but i'm used to it now.

    Selective schools?

    nah, i don't live near pius. but it seems ok to me. u wanted to go to killara...? were u encouraged by the guy who got a UAI of 100 and the other girl who got 99.95? can u imagine the freedom of getting a UAI of 100. the vice-chancellor of unsw said that they could get a scholarship into...

    What do you think about tutoring?

    no offence to ur parents or anything, but IMHO they're wrong. in my maths class, i'm the only one who doesn't get tutoring apart from one other person, and yet he and i are currently 1st and 2nd, both in our class (for 2U and 3U) and overall in 2U. i guess it depends on each individual. but by...

    Organising Notes

    everyone laughs...? is that just coz they fall out? or is it coz everybody else's sheets are scrumpled up in their lockers and they feel threatened by ur organisation and need some form of release? ;)

    i often wonder about "leadership skills", as it's always one of the criteria for selection for jobs and almost everything. but how do u demonstrate leadership qualities at an interview? e.g. i've only been the captain of a sports team once ast year, and other than that, i've never had the chance...

    What do you think about tutoring?

    u can teach urself a lot of those things as well though. after practising a lot of trial papers, i've found that i know the format of each of the maths papers fairly well. tutors, themselves, only have a limited knowledge as well. their sources of information are the same as other peoples -...

    Saucy photo offends school

    true, it may be fun at the time. this girl doesn't really seem to care about the media attention. however, looking at it from another perspective....if someone does something "naughty", gets media attention and then blames the media, then i think that's wrong on their part coz they were...

    Organising Notes

    an idea that a teacher in yr9 told my class, and which i still do today. i stick a plastic sleeve into the back of my exercise book and put sheets in there. after each topic, i put the sheets into a lever arch folder (which is now quite full) and i keep it at home. for subjects like maths i have...

    i.e. it's very difficult, or it's good to get in, or both? two guys from my grade were selected within our school to attend the interviews. i don't know if they've been selected to go though to attend the NYSF though. how many interviews, what processes etc do u have to go through to get there?

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    u could try asking laz in one of the other forums. it's probably a measure taken to prevent spam....only my guess though. but i'm curious as well.

    Shoulder Pain During An Exam....?

    ah well. i'm lucky it happened to me in the SC. otherwise i wouldn't know not to use the smudgy pen in the HSC. even though it was in the SC, during the exam, i began panicking (even the smallest things seem to make u panic in an exam...dunno if it's the same for everyone else) and i kept...
