oh wow thanks! I did attend the UTS and USYD open days and I was less than impressed with USYD - seemed a bit traditional and boring (but I guess that just could have been because the guy talking was a bit of a drone). UTS seemed like a much more innovative/forward thinking course and everyone I...

My ATAR was much higher than I expected and I am seriously confused about what to preference (almost to the point where I am stressing out thinking about the decisions I have to make!). I also have eligibility for several more extreme sections of the Education Access Scheme, which means I have...

saw that as well! gives me the shivers. but i wouldn't worry too much, that was around 2004/3 and they haven't really asked for different variations of creative for years! the best year was when they gave the line 'sometimes the best weapon is....' and that's all that you had to incorporate! so...

of course you would relate all the conventions.. if you didn't you that would kind of defeat the purpose of studying genre for a whole year lol

any of you guys doing crime? apparently it's the last year for that elective - 2014 they've introduced comedy. Hoping they don't pull out some crazy question to go out with a bang... D: noticed a trend for genre - they've really focused on context/values as opposed to specific conventions...

now im hoping for the 80s :) i know that all my class found it extremely difficult, as most of the people on this site have. one of the teachers at my school wrote the exam and i remember her laughing (in an evil manner) when i was like 'i just hope they arent very specific'. so yeah, maybe i...

hahah i wish but i got absolutely annihilated by english advanced, barely studied and am going to pay the price for it aka only finished one essay out of the four. was counting on ancient to redeem myself slightly ... and that did not happen haha

same! I ranked first but i dont think my internal mark will be higher than an 85. was really counting on doing well in the hsc to get a band 6 (as was my teacher haha) but I just bombed the exam! pompeii destroyed me, just skimmed over the eruption which was just such a dumb thing to do...

Exam was hard - didnt even do the 6 marker for pompeii because i ran out of time - couldnt even get a sentence dowm for a mark. New kingdom was just ridiculous! I think i managed to scrounge a decent mark for new kingdom - literally read my notes on maintence of the empire five minutes before...

History extension is already one of my favourite subjects and I've only had 5 lessons of it, so there's no way I'm getting rid of it :) :) and thanks!

Oh the relief I will feel when I don't have to look at another source of a soldier doing something inane like shaving in the trenches! Also: I believe ext history is around 2,500 or something... its not as large as many other majors so maybe not as concerning as I thought! but thanks again for...

wow thanks for that solid advice! The possible degrees (law/journalism) I want to pursue don't have prerequisites so I'm in the clear there. I've kind of boxed myself into humanities options anyway because I dropped maths and science (best decision of my life ahh!). However, I definitely agree...

I've picked up 13 units for year 12 with the intention of dropping at least one extension. However, at the moment I am doing english extension 2, history extension and society and culture with the daunting prospect of doing 3 major projects - the problem is I love all these subjects a lot! At...
