Why didn't you do UMAT? I'm still deciding whether I want to go for med or just do a straight science degree..

Need some help for upcoming assessment task(s) for English Advanced. The problem I have in my class is that we NEVER discuss how to actually write a proper essay, all the work pre-exam is just discussing the themes, ideas, context etc and not actually being taught how to formulate that into an...

it doesn't matter for externals but I see what he means about leaving a good impression on the teachers who'll be marking your internal assessments if they get the idea you're a slacker from year 11, i imagine they would mark really strictly. if they like you and see you're trying hard from...

my school has 5 sport assemblies a year and 1 academic one

planning to drop a subject?

getting 80 and 70 in gen maths and business studies isn't the best plan

defo electrical energy so far.. probs because I'm shithouse at it, but I might try to pick my game up for it soon. Does it have much relevance to the yr12 topics lol?

bio isn't harder most would say do physics, but really it's up to you I suggest just taking a guess at which one you'll do better in and pick that, you'll know within the first couple of weeks if you really dislike it or know you can't do as good as you'd hoped in it, in which case it's not...

yep

Re: How did people go in the maths comp today? i went pretty well up to around Q15 then got destroyed after that lol... got some of the easy ones like loyalist/traitor but that's about it what the FUCK is an n-fold composite or whatever it said

Re: What are the best books to study for my subjects? Can't go wrong with Fitzpatrick/Cambridge for Maths. And I like Conquering Chemistry, some don't, but it's still a quality book that you should look into.

I seriously doubt she'll be asked to leave based only on the fact that she might pull the school ranking down a tiny tiny bit. Pretty terrible principal if she is. Probably some of what you heard is true but some details got bullshitted along the way.

How much of this do you know for a fact...? Like is it just what you've heard from friends or something? Or did you actually hear from the deputy principal himself that she is gonna be kicked out as she's dragging the ranking down? Because it's pretty bad if the principal is actually asking...

Got my report today. 2U Maths - 1/40 (98%) 3U Maths - 1/14 (96%) Got first in the sciences as well but can't remember marks/cohort, wasn't as good as Maths. Epic fail at English with 66%, decent rank though.

haha yeah, you'd have to be pretty beast at your other subjects I reckon. And 150 doing Chem is pretty insane.

Is Eng Adv the lowest level of English you can do at Ruse? (so there are 166 people in your year?)

yeah I'm in the same position as you, school is moving waaaay to slow. We're definately not going to finish the preliminary course for most subjects, and from what I hear it's been the same deal for the last few years in the HSC course. I've figured I can learn ahead by myself in the sciences...

Not what I said. I agree that it's more likely that the OP got subjects they like and is doing well. It's just that in your original post you said it's more the teachers, and school doesn't really come into it, however if you aced ALL your subjects without doing any/much serious work, I can...

somewhat true, but remember this isn't just one subject he feels like he got off easy in. OP said he got over 85% in ALL his subjects (more than one teacher obviously), so it's easy to understand why he may think that public school marking in general is easy. And yeah I'm kinda in a similar...

I was supposed to study English today (lol what a joke) but went to movies with friends instead... now I cbfed wasting my time tonight so I'll have to cram it tommorrow.
