    More like hands up if you procrastinate until 11pm/12am and only start studying at like midnight. Hence, the sleep deprivation kids.

    My IQ is a joke. Plus, Business Studies is a subject that doesn't require much natural aptitude. I found that it rewarded hard work more than any of my other subjects. After dropping Business, are you planning to take up Ext Japanese or MX2?

    I remember winging Year 11 Business basically. 2 weeks before Prelim yearlies: I'll make 3 terms worth of Business notes. I can do this. 2 days before: Nope. I'll just memorise the textbook. Came 2nd in Year 11 Business. Was devastated that I was so close to 1st (could have gotten a prize at...

    How many units do I have to take to transfer from MQ to UNSW

    Varies between universities. A D is 4.0 (a HD is also 4.0) at MQ and a D is 3.5 at UTS. So whilst a 3.5 GPA is a 'D average GPA' at UTS, it is less clear (in terms of what constitutes a 'D average GPA') for MQ since both a D or HD gets you a 4.0.

    My view is that: If they have ambition or are working towards something productive, it doesn't really matter if they have a tertiary education or not. I mean it's all about trust and support. You have to trust that your partner is actually working towards something and that they have a...

    Unless one is doing Medicine, one shouldn't fall into the Ps gets degrees mindset :haha: I assume 'failed' here means Asian fail? It can really be competitive at selective schools and as you know, if there are top students then there has to be students who are below these top students. It's...

    North Sydney Boys YEAR 9 TEST Help/info/tips?

    There's not much information on the topic of 'selective school entrance exam content' (including NSBHS). Best to browse around and see what you can find. Otherwise, just focus on school (with particular focus on English and Mathematics if need be) - I think that's the best form of preparation...

    As long as you name-dropped operation strategies (from the syllabus) and somehow linked them to the CSR dotpoint (and the sub-dotpoints underneath it) in operation influences, I think you'll be fine. :) I'd think about the efficiency ratios: Expense ratio - so we want strategies that affect...

    Also, whilst historical data/past performance provides realistic aims, historical data is definitely not the be all and end all. I remember for the 2012 Business cohort at my school: - The highest overall HSC mark was 92 (achieved by a Year 12, who wasn't first internally) and the accelerant...

    Then there are some things which you can't control. Until your mark comes back, it's all speculation so I wouldn't panic (yet). If we use your school's historical performance in Business, it seems like there are at least around 15 - 20 band 6s in the subject (combining the Year 12s and the...

    Your school definitely seems strong at Business Studies but it'll probably be in your best interests to stay in the top 3/top 5 if you're gunning for a 95+ HSC mark. It's normal to feel some post-exam pessimism - considering your calibre, I really doubt that you dropped from 2nd to something...

    Just the people in your subject(s). I mean, since you're doing let's say Chemistry, you'd want everyone else (as well as yourself) in your school doing Chemistry to perform well in the HSC exam. The performance of the Physics cohort is irrelevant to you.

    Do you know many band 6s in Business Studies your school tends to get on average? I think that'll play a big role in what internal rank (your overall internal mark isn't as important) you'd want to have post-trials. I think my overall internal mark was 88%~ (my marks from first assessment to...
