i'm pretty sure you have to use pencil for diagrams in maths, physics, chem etc

I rang up about chem and the guy was really nice and helpful!

Anyway on the same night, I'm lying on the floor and the phone rings at about 9 o'clock and it was some teacher ringing up from the advice line asking me 'did u have a q about membrane cells' and i'm like no... and she's like 'oh well i've got it written down that u did' and i'm like 'no i asked about electrolytic cells and the dude already answered my q" and she's like 'oh ok bye " (in a cheery voice lol) WTF lol

at least they're being helpful!

You're allowed to do graphs in pencil in maths, but you have to write in pen for everything else

why cant they do all subjects?

Im really annoyed they dont have all subjects. i need help in drama and primary industries and i dont have anyone to help me (my teachers are idiots and havent taught me anything all year)
i know to do every subject would take heaps of resources and stuff but they are only offering help to the minority of ppl who choose mainstream subjects

I think you'll find that the majority of people choose mainstream subjects...

Dont call as soon as its 5pm and don't call just before its going to close-these are the busiest times
Call in the middle

I called this arvo for English.
Got through reasonably quick.
The advisor was really kind and answered my question effectively.

Wow.. this seems like a really good resource. It would be so great (but probably slow, and boring, and economically inefficient) if it could run all year. Or more time at least.
Anyway, I look forward to using this next year.

It's a matter of pay. BOS pay is huge.

i called up for legal studies and english (two seperate times) today and i got in straight away. The teachers were sooooo good- they knew everything! I manage to ask about 10questions about consumers from the LS guy who was really really helpful and the Adv Eng Lady who i talked to for about30mins. I didnt mean to go for so long but she kept talking and she was so so helpful. they tried to un-stress me
