^ Leanne? I knew her. Yeah, most of the philosophers did fewer than 10 units for Yr 12. There were quite a few 99.95ers among us.

^ awesome Avatar avatar! :D

No more ceremony? :(

Find quiet time to study - your own room (+ headphones), a local library, the school libarary, or even libraries in the city (State Library/Fisher Library). Key thing is just to make spaces and time for yourself, undisturbed and away from interruptions.

Not really, EE1 scales better than EE2. And 4U English is not comparable at all to 4U maths in terms of scaling benefits.

Try not to stress - but do realise that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has moments of panic and frustration. The only thing to do is just to plod away - working consistently, and you will, guaranteed, be ok. Really. If you have kept up with your school work, notes - then you should feel...

I know quite a few people, Many had accelerated over 4 units a year before, and only did 6-9 units in Yr 12. One friend accelerated 3U Maths and Chemistry in Yr 11, in Yr 12 she did 4U maths, 2U english, physics. Another accelerated 3U Maths, Physics and Chemistry. He did only 5 units...

sadly no - however I did get a spiffy certificate at the distinction dinner, so I guess that's it?

I can look over it, but let me just tell you now - the creative is one of the most difficult parts, its very contrived in that you have to have so much on "ways of thinking". That is, your story REALLY has to encmpass the contextual stuff I advised you research -...

whoo! I think so too! We should fb add and get something semi planned (meeting point or whatever) sometime at the end of the month. no hurry :)

thanks pbjt? :D

Wait no Aerath! You forget, The Crucible is a play - that's a different text type to novel. I also had a film prepared - The Lives of Others by Donnersmark. So no, I didn't just have 2 novels :) I had 3 relateds prepared, but I only wrote about one. My teacher reccommends at least 3, but...

gottit! :D But I find the Web version so much easier though! Web or paper (despite the exorbitant price :P) Feeling abit nervy about my languages, and also the fact that I might have to take a few weeks off in mid to late April to go overseas (so I could well fail my aussie classes :haha:)

Cool - Government! In which case your 1st semster courses are either Australian Politis or Geopolitics. (Check out the units of study) Units of Study : Government : Faculty of Arts : University of Sydney Australia

PS. We're clearly both insomniac people/early risers :P

Arts/Law also! Tossing up between Arts or PESS (Political, economic, social science) + Law. But I figured I can always transfer Arts credits and do PESS (since its a more restrictive distribution of Arts anyway. Have you checked out your units? I'm doing Political Economy, Chinese Advanced and...

Our teacher photocopied so much theory for us - I think we had info from over 10 books on the Romantic period and I've still got literally boxes full of journal articles about other aspects of Romanticism. Your teacher may well be as well resourced - but if she isn't, then definitely be...

I know! :( I (ahem) didn't wake up early enough to go *blush* I heard my nametag was there and everything (how embarrassing). Did you meet anyone else form my school? Adrienne Cohen/Rebecca Beaumont? They're way more science-y than me. I was at the afternoon tea at 3pm though! I'm sorry for...

I reckon you're lucky to get The Crucible - its a fantastic text with alot of depth and you can draw upon many things to make your analysis even more sophisticated and to impress the markers. For example - you should look at, or even throw in things relating to Arthur Miller's message...

UAI. Not complainin' or anything, but 100 >>>>> 99.95 (if only in spirit). Even the teachers at school were like "it just doesn't feel the same" :mad1:
