wat i want to know Is should it be compulsary for UAI calculation i.e. if someone gets like high band 6's for 10 units of non-english subjects and gets like a band 4 in english, shouldnt his best 10 units count, not his best 8 and 2 units of english If u were crap at english would u say...

I should have added private schools perform better not at the top end but at the middle and bottom end. Thats the problem, no-one sees how the middle order went, just the top.

yay some support thanx midifile and foram i noe i went way over topic, but lotta the posts were ripping on private schools, and i sorta felt i had to defend private schools. i was just trying to show that we arent wat the public perception is. My sincerest apologies to ye, ccc123 (Post...

English actually never helped me for essay writing, i actually have a very strong essay structure for subjects, (i did really well in History and Geography and extended responses for other subjects in yr 10), its just when it came to English, the q's are almost always absolute BS, journeys are...

U know, UAC doesnt really care if u get a band 6 or a band 5 when calculating ur UAI (which actually matters) . BOS just uses it to rank schools.

i agree completely

The reason i stick this in, is coz many people tell me they wouldn't do English for the HSC if it weren't compulsary What are ur feelings

READ THIS BEFORE VOTING the question should be: Should English be compulsary for the UAI? I think that is the real issue, Leave ur thoughts on english in the HSC I just wanted to find out what people thought of English being a compulsary subject, coz loads of people bitch about it...

Re: UMAT Registration Sorta like the HSC thanx

It seems like no-one is arguing on the side of the private schools, so i thought i should defend my school How do you judge a school? You can't judge a school on its performance. James Russe has all the smartest kids from the exam, and isnt it unfair if they get the top rank if all the...

im definitely goin i didn't go last time coz i wasnt interested in engineering as a career, but i now reckon its an awesome career option, so im gonna go for it btw, does anyone know wat mechatronic engineering is

Re: UMAT Registration just a random question, but u know about the uai-umat tables they have on uni sites they give umat scores as like 221 to a 95 Uai for example isnt the Umat out of 110?

BOS doesnt say anything u find out either in the newspaper (check the small print) or the BOS site. Alternatively ur school finds out and tells u i came 13th in the state for Maths 2u (accelerated), and i didnt realize till a week later when someone congratulated me (they had seen the...

Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy is by far the best set of books i have ever read btw Puzo only wrote one Godfather book. It was really awesome, and he helped adapt it into three films. The first film is an adaptation of the book, the second and third are completely different, just some...

Isaac Asimov, check out his foundation trilogy, best ever set of books i read

i have loads of books that i like, John Grisham's earlier books were awesome, but the recent ones are just crap. I still read the rainmaker, the firm and the partner all the time Jeffery Archer too had really great books early on, but cat'o nine tales was just terrible, his short story's are...

yeah i really have to agree with all the above comments most of the books are really good, but they take absolutely forever for anything to happen not to mention the complete women thing i mean rand counting all the dead women, and refusing to fight Lanfear, completely subservient etc...

Re: Pressure From Parents lol, im really lucky to have parents that dont intentionally pressure me they do it without meaning to, like snide references to kids who have got like 99+ UAIs and scholarships. Otherwise they dont push me not so for others in my school one kid got tutored so...

Ur Really brave to try Dante's Inferno, its bloody awful - like uni level, and its not even in English, ur gonna have to use a transalation, which compromises its integrity try somethin else

:karate: Do lime-tree, it is by far the easiest poem to yak on about for ages about self-discovery and self-realisation. Most people don't do Kubla Khan because there is next to no meaning, and therefore less to talk about. Frost at Midnight is far more abstract to talk about, but it can be done.
