I'm probably getting most of the marks back tomorrow. Scared for chemistry - that test was a bitch. Biology and English paper one was okay. Paper two - ehh, 2 hours was too short, I wouldve liked to write more. Legal was okay as well; it was essentially 4 essays + multiple choice. Economics was...

We got a monetary question in the economics trials -.- For prelim, you'll probably get an explain or discuss question. So "Explain how the RBA uses the monetary policy to influence inflation in the Australian economy" or "Discuss the ways in which the monetary policy achieves economic...

Make notes according to the syllabus; make sure you've covered everything, even the third column dot points for the sciences. Now that your notes are done, read them; KNOW them as oppose to memorize them. This means that if someone asks you a question; you can answer it straight away instead of...

Hey, I was just wondering if you're able to change the date you sit for STAT after registration. I just registered for the 17th of Sept and I wanted to know if I can change this date or will I have to sit it then.

I asked the people at csu on this uni thing. Apparently they have a "priority" to rural students and only around 20% of metropolitan kids get in. And the people there didn't seem very approachable. CSU just didn't seem like a good uni to me.

I'm expecting maths, biology and chemistry back on tuesday. But then again, the chem department takes forever with marking. I expect english, economics and legal to be given back later because theres lots of writing and english is double marked. But my legal and eco teacher marks really quickly...

Boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass

Depends on the question really. If you get an explain for 5 marks then its one mark for cause and one mark for an effect of that cause. So I'd do 2-3 causes and effects and maybe throw in a stat just to show a broader knowledge. And yes, no dot points unless you have 2 minutes left and you...

I saw the monetary question, realised i had no idea about any freakin policies (it was a mind blank moment) and I wrote three pages. But the booklets we got were weird, they werent the normal double spaced one. The were more single spaced so yeah. The last essay we got replacement question and...

I thought trials were okay... until fucking maths today. Kill my life

Maths trials tomorrow. Just realised I am officially fucked.

I'm aiming for 93+ so I can get into radiography or pharmacy at USYD. However right now, I'm probably looking at a 90ish which is alright. If I push, like I've been doing for the trials, 95 isnt out of the question.

Hey guys, so I'm seeing all this Atar estimation thread and everyone does it based on rank. If it is based on rank, whats the point of the end of year exam? Does that mean I only have trials to get my rank up or else I'm screwed? Also, does that mean the person ranked first will have the highest...

Paper 2 was mothershit but thats because of my poor time management. Module A: Frank + BR threw me - I don't know why but it took a while to get what the question was saying and to think of textual evidence to support my thesis. Module B: Speeches are OK Module C: Julius Caesar was...

You still have at least 4-5 hours and possible all night if your desperate. So I say go for it. First organise your notes and stuff then launch into writing each essay within 40 minutes and go from there.

Basically, you can choose to belong or you can choose not to belong - each with their consequences that can be rewarding or hindering.

Section I was okay. I finished with exactly 40 minutes. I think the mushroom poem was about a guy who goes to this place to pick mushrooms. But when he came, it was all isolated and cold from winter but then in the end he realises that it is actually a place where he belongs. Thats how I...

I have trials on monday. English first and I'm stressing. It's so hard to know everything required. And remembering quotes is so difficult. So I'm just wondering if you guys have any tips and hints to surviving the trials. I also have biology and chemistry the day after so it's pretty...

Freaked out for chemistry. I've already accepted the fact that im going to fail economics.

I tend to find my friends try to save words from abbreviating "do not" to "doesn't". This doesn't save time and you never, ever abbreviate in an essay. This is what I'm plan on doing. I'll use my belonging essay as an example. Intro Prescribed text - Idea One Related text - Idea One...
