Who here has used the HSC advice line yet? (1 Viewer)

[Tim035]

Was it good? how long did you spend talking? or did they just answer ur question and wish u good luck in the hsc?

I've always got lots of little questions especially in chemistry and stuff but I don't feel like its really worth ringing them up about it.

I got the letter about it yesterday, haven't used it yet but might do. Alot of questions, well BOS is here for that.

 

[Sleiphnir]

Is the advice line open yet? I didn't think it was - but I'm probably wrong anyway.

 

[$hiftyIceQueen]

it opens on the 9th October, so nobody could have called them

I got advice from a 2005er, they used it to jot down 14 pages of notes for Modern History. It's definately worth it apparently It's cheap too... for basic fine tuning

Yep, you can get a lot out of the Advice Line--it is virutally free tutoring after all so you might as well use it. Though someone in my grade called up about Business Studies, and they put her through to her own Business Studies teacher! awkward, hey?

That would have been so funny getting through to your own teacher. A few of my teachers have given me their phone numbers (5 of them) so I can get in contact with them in the holidays which is really nice, except I feel bad about calling them at home (yesterday my English teachers son picked up and thought I wanted Mr Teacher not Mrs Teacher).

Haha that happened to a physics student at my school last year - she got put through to her teacher and the stupid teacher didn't even know lol

 

[Tim035]

oops my bad. Yeah I just got the letter in the mail a couple of days ago and assumed it was open.
But thanks for the positive feedback about it anyway, I recon I could keep them on the line for a day about biology lol

how much are the rates

 

[jemsta]

I received the letter today.

I might call up for english, but I dunno :S
is it worth it?

trust me...it would be the best 25 cents youll ever spend
and im not joking

i used the advice line last year for all of my subjects at least once i think. the teachers are all pretty good and can give you a lot of handy information, plus they all wish you good luck! its the small things that make a difference!

 

[lilsxcwog89]

Is the 25c a flat rate.

 

[~~*CHELLE*~~]

yeh i used it just then! it rocked they were relli polite and helpful with what seemed like a stupid question ha ha! i also called one of my teachers today he he so akward but i needed to know!!!

 

[michaeln36]

[$hiftyIceQueen]

^ that so happened to me right now.. she kept saying umm.. ahhh...

and the whole time i was answering my stupid question ...

 

[~~*CHELLE*~~]

[michaeln36]

except a tutor costs more than 25c... but at least u can fire them if they are crap..

the person that felt bad about wasting their time - dont - they get paid to do this (i think).

can anyone answer my other question?

"How much time are they willing to spend on u?

[Ennaoj]

are they really that good?

What are you ringing them up for, like general questions or really specific stuff.
For example are they much help if you don't understand a entire concept for biology or something like that?

I am umm-ing and arrrr-ing about ringing them
