Thanks stazi, for that sneak preview on what premium members get. Very tempted, but at uni, so I don't really need it. Though I like that SAM target UAI--you adjust your goals to get the UAI you want, not the UAI you want to the goals that you are capable 'only' of achieving.

Where is the damn UAI calculator thing???

I can't seem to place my subjects into SAM .. thus, i can't use it. I see no buttons directing me into an area which allows me to key in my subjects. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Oh come on guys, I was playing with you. You didn't have to take it all so seriously.
There is no need for you to withdraw your argument. It was quite logical and valid, by claiming to provide services for students the administrators of this community also takes on a responsibility. By incurring a few for a supposedly benneficial service (where the majority of resources are freely donated) they are exploiting students.

I doubt any of the resources available to this commiunity was sought after, towards the end of each year they coerse students to supply information such as their HSC marks and their final UAI, as to collate the calculators. Then, they exploit these students for their own personal gain. I'm sure they could find 'university' financial support who actually have the moral responsibility to help run these organisations. But, surely this is purely 'business' and not what it claims to be (a service). The majority of this sites success is determined by its community. Charging its community is exploitation.

Don't you pay tax to the government for services? At worst, I think you'd be paying for something extra...If you aren't willing to pay for it then you don't get it. Your post is pretty much misguided. What university financial support are you talking about? This site is centered around HSC. Moral obligations? If anyone would have moral obligations, it would be the users of this site. Businesses exist with a view to profit. I'm sure that this site hasn't been a money maker, especially over the first couple of years. If it was a business venture, they would have shut it down, no?

This site may need some support stazi, but it doesn't need your constant 'hind-lick maneuver', give it a rest. It was build on propagation of a 'free' online 'resource' now it is capitalising on all the 'free' contributions. It's talking away from those who donated, resources, and information and returning a fee to this to students. Surely, universities would be willing to 'support' these types of sites if they were confronted, or even some businesses. (Tax deductions can be made through 'donations', if for example, 'officeworks' donated $1,000 to this site.) It would allow a $1,000 dollar tax deduction.

A $1000 tax deduction would result in a net out of pocket payment of $700 for businesses. They will only recover 30% in a tax return.

Oh and you are basing all of this on the assumption that the admins are making a profit from the site. If people are willing to support the site through becoming a premium member, how is it different from universities or businesses supporting it? It doesn't say anywhere that members NEED to become a premium member. In fact, on the main site it clearly outlines the benefits of being a normal or premium member.

Are there any plans to expand the Premium resources to include other subjects before the HSC exams? I just feel like I wasted my money, because none of my subjects have any resources for them at all... only Advanced English, and it's for a module I don't even study. :(

Yes we are planning to expand the range of premium resources to cover subjects beyond the top 12 subjects which are already online. We have moderators working hard to ensure that the quality of these notes will be beneficial to your study.

We are also obtaining other resources from known publishers which will be available to premium members only.

Feel free to email me if you have any further questions.

HEY!

i was thinking of getting premium membership, but i was wondering for how long it lasts for. I read in other posts its for a year but is it a year from the day you sign up or is it just that year, ie only for end of this year.

Also is it $20????

For those of you who have premium membership, is it worth it?



cheers
