    Journey texts

    Most movies are great for the 'journeys' study, but here are some really good ones: The Count of Monte Cristo - shows the journey of Edmond Dantes from a boy, to a man. The whole movie is basically a metaphor of this journey. Braveheart- The journey of William wallace from a 'lovestruck...

    Year 11 CHEMISTRY..... anyone find it hard?

    Yeah to be honest chemistry is still a little daunting, but, all my doubts left when we got to blow up sodium in water, and it spat out onto our teachers book - which subsequently burst on fire - :rolleyes:

    How to get band 5 without a tutor!

    Don't have much feedback on getting band 6's - but, for structure, I'd suggest showing your essays to different teachers, and ASKING for feedback on structure, etc. If they can't do that, they should be fired. And, to answer your OP, I am VERY sure it is possible to get a band 5 in HSC...

    Modern History?

    IMO Modern History is a really good subject. We were doing the russian revolution and JFK which was really interesting. Buttt, if you don't like the subject or your teacher I'd think about dropping it.

    Does working out stunt growth?

    Ahh, you are right, but eggs arent a better protein. Eggs are given a biological value (protein rating) of 100 (the whole egg, as there are some amino acids in the yolk), as they are the best natural source. However, protein powders actually have BETTER biological value than egg protein...

    Do the teachers in your school understnad the HSC system?

    These teachers are more concerned with *High School* education. They place in higher priority your current education than a number which lets you go to other courses. However, some are pretty ignorant, and did the Dip.Ed BECAUSE they didn't understand scaling enough to get into other courses :P

    The Flaw of Monotheism

    Because religion is essentially a form of spirituality. Because I can't really classify practices such as zen or meditation as a religion, as they don't really have any rules or regulations. I'm covering the whole spectrum here, not just christianity.

    The Flaw of Monotheism

    Again, we see that someone's own religion or spirituality is so important that it must be forced unto others. Religion has no place in politics. They're two things that ideally should never meet. You can justify the killing of millions of black people because 'god says so'. You can justify a...

    The Flaw of Monotheism

    This is something billions of people do not understand. Spirituality is real. Religion is made by man, and as are the rules. Even the stories in the bible are made by man. Religion shouldn't be about any rules or restrictions, instead about the messages they contain. Most religions share...

    HSC Amount of Units? whaaaaaaaaaat?

    I'd keep chemistry for as long as you can, and if you like it: don't drop it, you may get a better ATAR in year 12

    Prelim course effect on ATAR

    Exactly my point. The things you learn in prelim (e.g. in maths, all of the things you learn in prelim are used in HSC) influence the mark in the HSC

    Prelim course effect on ATAR

    I think that for some subjects it counts for 30% of your HSC marks (the content is 30% from the prelim). Mainly its just the study habits and knowledge you built up in the prelim. Its a "practice year for HSC"

    Should i drop Chem?

    +1 If you dont understand chem, or dont enjoy the concept of chemistry, most likely you shouldnt do it. It is only necessary for engineers, science and medicine. But, if you DO want to do any of the above careers, it would be beneficial to do chem. It doesn't really matter if you dont...
