    Is it worth dropping these subjects?

    the fuck? I have pretty big handwriting and write about the same as you, but still only about 8 pages. Do you like skip lines or some shit or just have monstrous handwriting lol? But yeah I agree with everything else you've said, solid advice for anyone who's looking for a competitive atar.

    Martial Arts/Body Training

    It's because chinese martial arts haven't really proven themselves to be effective yet (outside of movies obviously lol). Add to that the lack of unified exposure (in the west mostly) that creates a really 'mystic' element that a leads to a lot of people second guessing them. sanshou is a...

    Martial Arts/Body Training

    chinese martial arts... aren't the greatest every time I've seen them or been to a place they always end up being more philosophy than effective training that would work in an mma match or street fight ah well I might be slightly biased cause i come from a western mma background I guess

    Martial Arts/Body Training

    Unfortunately there's no real martial art that's going to be an incredible asset in a street fight. Because there's probably two likely situations you'll find yourself in if it comes to fighting... a) the guy is bigger than you. And yeah people say size doesn't matter but really it does, in...

    Martial Arts/Body Training

    Yep that's why I said it's too different to be really reliable in a fight.

    Martial Arts/Body Training

    Alright Tim035 covered it pretty well but I'll offer my opinions anyway. Boxing is probably best for all around fitness and getting you into shape as if the trainer is good he'll put you through hell in preparing for a fight. Sparring is a blast and you can really see your progress after...

    Would you rather be..

    even if the 70kg was really good at bjj or whatever he'd still have a lot of trouble beating the 100kg dude in a fight lol But still I'd probs pick the first option cause you'd still probably have a decent build for your height and martial arts are fucking great. Also OP where do you do...

    Which textbook teaches the syllabus theory best?

    Chem Contexts is pretty good for theory I reckon. It's really really easy to read and comprehend the explanations so you get a solid understanding of most of the concepts. However as I think it's been said it only vaguely follows the order of the syllabus dot points, so it can be annoying to...

    memorising essays?

    At my school everyone is so batshit retarded that they use the same question like every time (or don't even bother having a question; either way they never mark very accurately on how your essay responds to the q). Thanks for your help. I should've probably started doing this sooner lol..

    memorising essays?

    So my half-yearlies are coming up soon and for English I've got to do Paper 1 + module A in one sitting. So far I've pretty much relied on memorising essays because I've only really had to write 1 essay per sitting and that's alright. Anyway so what do you pro English kids do to prepare for...

    What Excercise Did You Do Today?

    Should've phrased it better - weights program WITH my school at local gym, we're too pov to have an actual gym at the school lol. But yeah the gym does. So it's wierd that they only do isolation work.. probably just to feed the needs of the kids who wanna just work arms and chest and say they...

    What Excercise Did You Do Today?

    Oh okay nice. Yeah I'm probs gonna start SS soon. Weights program at my school is entirely isolation exercises (except for bench press of course lol) with like no compound movements or leg work..

    Does anyone think they messed up choosing subjects?

    I tolerate all my subjects now but I would've done some things differently. Would've picked Standard english over Advanced. Would've accelerated 2U Maths + physics in Year 11 because I did shit all that year and would mean I'm not stuck in Year 12 without 2U knowledge when attempting some...
