    can you still do well in 2u maths if your not a 3u?

    So how smart are selective school students nowadays?

    Agree. I go to Girra, and in maths we range from ~40-100%, English ~50-90%, Chem ~70-low 90s, Phys ~70-low90s. Selective students are pretty intelligent overall. An average student would get around 70-80% per subject; however it's very hard to find someone with the average. Usually, they're an...

I'm now writing a letter to Centrelink requesting for the money to be transferred. My dad said that the...

    Division and Seperation of Power

    I used to get really confused on this too - but: Try remembering it as an mnemonic - GSCD. Good songs can't die. (power is distributed between 3 arms of government = separation, constitution [powers are divided between state & federal...

    Not being accepted into an extension course

    The rank, type of school, number of people accepted & number of people who tried out sounds suspiciously like Girra. Am I right?

    Piano

    Reviving this thread! xD Okay, I've played for 7 years. It's been 2 years since I finished 8th grade, I have unfortunately betrayed my classical upbringings - I play far too much soundtracks/new age/occasional good pop/rock songs. However, for classical music, I like baroque the best - I...

    Eng. Adv Speeches?

    Thanks for all the help guys! I certainly feel like I know what to write now =D And jnney...I disagree with the speech being an oral presentation of an essay. This is totally wrong, because it's supposed to be engaging and interesting, which an essay is not.

    Eng. Adv Speeches?

    So I'm a complete noob at writing English speeches. I have a speech coming up about Othello and on the assessment notification, I've been given a statement and asked if the statement was my opinion of the play. - so do I have to agree/disagree with the statement, and back it up with evidence...

    SOR II or Legal Studies???!!!?

    SOR II is easier, I think. But, choose Legal! It does have a lot of content to remember, but it's really interesting and is a great humanity subject. You get to do a legal moot - like a mock trial, but you have no witnesses, just legal attorneys, which is super fun and really helps you with...
