Anyone doing it this year?

 

[jycy]

Awww. No one's doing it?

 

[khorne]

What's the big deal about them? They're not that hard.

 

[d3st1nyLiang]

well, i'm going to attempt to do the NQE

So have you done one?
I really want to do it. But my school won't let me do the NQE.

 

[khorne]

Yes, that's how I got accelerated in Physics.

 

[pillar]

My teacher suggested I do it and I hadn't heard of them (still really don't have much of a clue) but I might do one..

 

[Johanist]

I'm planning on doing bio, i heard physics is okay if your good at maths but for chem and bio it's mostly about knowledge and understanding and remembering a shitload of info

 

[jycy]

I was going to do Chemistry as I'm accelerating in it and I'm more confident in it. But I read the syllabus for it on the ASO website and I thought it was quite hard (I think this is a hint saying that I'm not studying hard enough for my HSC Chem). The Biology one seems easier though. I want to do it but my school's not letting me. But I think I'll go pester the science department a little and see if they let me.

 

[PwnerKebab]

hell yeah im doing physics, its so awesome. way better than HSC physics

 

[Aquawhite]

Never heard of them or attempted...

I would like to know more though... maybe.

 

[Aerath]

I did it, fkd it, but it's still good for the CV whether you get a Participation or a High Disctinction/offer. I myself got a Credit for both Phys and Chem, for doing zip nada preparation, so - I recommend if you can or get offered it, take it up.

 

[Aquawhite]

My school is probably far too low ranked to even be considered or hear of it.

so is mine, but thats not going to stop me from do these things.

 

[rigellian]

Haha, well I'm doing Physics as well. It completely kicks ass compared to the syllabus. My teacher goes pretty fast through the stuff but it's awesome.

Do it.

Yeah, my school's never heard of them either. But I think my constant pestering and nagging worked. I might be able to do the NQE for Biology.

ch....ch...chua?

 

[rigellian]

Koray, you're the one who told me sign up here. Why are you so surprised?

 

[mitchy_boy]

Do I have to get my biology teacher to enter me?
I've never really heard much about these things.
Are they particularly hard?

Are they hard? Yes.

just get your biology teacher to go to the aso.edu.au website and register, it is a fairly simple process so he/she doesnt have to worry about doing to much work.
