Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ English - 95 Maths - 79 (one mark off a band five ;-;] Science - 89 History/Geo - 97/92 Computing - 98 I'm pretty pleased with my results, but I'd've liked to hit 90 in Science and 80 in Math. I was also expecting to have my highest mark in English (after...

Only in English. I'm pretty sure you'll be doing essays in the other exams heh :C Here are some tips: -Write as simply and concisely as you can. Learn a few very impressive words but use them really sparingly unless you have a naturally huge vocabulary. -Make sure you're always on topic and...

I am very distressed at the moment. For those of you who don't keep up with the intricacies of US politics, gay marriage is legal in certain states of the USA, including California. Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the ability of same-sex couples to marry in California. It is winning at quite a...

I love it when they try to appeal to us like that. Old papers include questions on how long it takes to download a song, given its filesize and the kbps at which one downloads. =o I didn't see anything declaring they were downloading it LEGALLY, either. X)

Why all the hate on Japanese? It is easy and fun. The only problem is learning to write/read kanji, and that comes with practice. It's a structured language and you can write almost any sentence just by using simple templates. Like, the first you learn is A wa B desu. ._. And half of the...

Me too! In 2010! ♥ All you need to know not to offend is taught in Japanese. Just be polite, mature, and not too outgoing [not churlish though] and I bet you'll have a heck of a time =) and don't do anything silly like run off on your own; that's a given though...

Not that I've heard of, and apparently the papers vary from school to school...?

*tired* Well, I finished Civics and the Math trials today. They weren't difficult at all, but I don't want to do them again, just because the bad thing about them is that they exhaust you and make your hand hurt like hell. e_e I had really bad cramps in my hand. I don't think they'll ever...

I'm calm... *CALMS DOWN* XD And I walked out of my trial Science test really early, too. I hope my trials are harder than the SC... *grin* And I hope we're doing the online tests... In the event I need to cheat on cursor questions, I can test with the mouse!

The ending was clearly just ripped from some poorly-written second-generation fanfiction on FF.net. Also, I love how warped the characters were. Lily-livered date rapist murderous bipolar Ron Weasley, anyone? Hermione with her sudden case of Parkinson's? I enjoyed Twilight, though. It's hardly...

Thanks, I feel better. And haha, Computing Skills is just a joke. IF YOU HAVE A CURSOR WHICH IS *HERE* ON THE MONITOR AND YOU MOVE THE MOUSE -->, WHERE WILL IT BE?!?!?1 Real question from last year, I think. I lol'd at that. Step 4 is clearly 'do a barrel roll' to promote logic skills.

I wanted to do sixteen, but because of the arrangements of the lines at my school, the maximum you can do is thirteen [and I only took twelve because I'm taking a uni. course next year so English Advanced Extension 1 will just be timeconsuming with no purpose]. :C it's like they don't WANT me...

English and History. History is just a combination of rote memorisation and a bit of understanding of people. Not much is needed and you can write a very convincing essay. The problem most people face with English, I think, is that the language is so irregular in terms of spelling and grammar...

It's alright. You're probably exhausted like me and finding it hard to think even when the answer is really obvious. Don't feel bad =)

=/ I only got extra time and more breaks. But that was for the SC. I have motor dyspraxia and it makes my writing absolutely horrendous. I also suffer chronic fatigue so I get very very tired from all that writing. I had multiple letters supporting that I need a laptop. I had to do a writing...

ForA, use Pythagoras: the triangle with AB is just the other triangle flipped, and its base is half of the entire line given, as the line given is the width of the two put together. so it's 6.2/2 = 3.1 a^2 + b^2 = c^2 1.4^2 + 3.1^2 = c^2 take the square root of the answer, which is c, and it...

I think that is what an awesome school is defined as. I'm tempted to skip and stay home and rest for a month, but I'd probably get in a lot of trouble for that. And an N-award. ._. Oh, well. I'll go home after the SCs. Thank you very much for your response!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but... What happens after the trials? I haven't had a chance to ask any teachers as I just came back to school from prolonged illness and was surprised with the trials on the spot. Fortunately I think I did okay in Science, but I haven't done English...

The trials are harder? ...mine were so easy that I don't know whether to become complacent or freak the hell out. The supervisors at mine were retarded, too. I got special provisions to do mine on my own because of my anxiety problems, and I had my iPod on and everything. It was kind of funny...

Delicious trap. I'd go lesbian for her. Oh wait :C Too late.
