    how to write a strong thesis

    You could possibly be slightly more explicit or elaborate upon "deeper meaning in life" and "his true meaning." Also, you should specifically state what poems you are going to refer to in your essay. I'm not sure about what students are taught from other schools, but mentioning the composer uses...

    Note taking

    Why do you want to rewrite out all your notes for each exam? What specifically is your question? I'd personally suggest not rewriting notes for every single exam as it is not exactly an effective method of study, though what works for some may not work for others.

    Which subject do I drop?

    You may wholeheartedly care about it, but that doesn't mean you actually like the subject :P

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    Your percentile refers to your position relative to the cohort, 99th percentile being the highest whereas 1st percentile is the bottom percentage of all candidates. IIRC, the aggregate is your totaled score after scaling from which you a ranked using the ATAR system.

    Thanks for the help! I've always been conflicted as to what the best structure was.

    Prescribed and related text proportions

    What is the ideal proportion of an essay you should designate to each your prescribed text and related text? Should I write about each text equally or place slightly more emphasis on the prescribed text (say 60/40). Additionally, if you were asked to use two related texts, should I focus the...

    When are you going to start revising for the Half-Yearlies?

    That is no reason not to start early. There are always going to be high achievers who do start late, but they are the exception. The people who achieve the best marks are those who consistently study from the get go.

    When are you going to start revising for the Half-Yearlies?

    You'd find that most people who actually care about their education would be studying already. It's not about whether the term has started yet or not, but about consolidating a solid work ethic and routine, as well as getting a head start.

    Apple or Android?

    That's another reason why Androids are better; they offer a broader range of alternatives than the three models Apple does. There are plenty of models that not only match the standard iPhone's size, but are smaller than it without compromising with cheaper hardware.

    Building new PC

    I doubt you could get 8-10 years of consistent performance with any contemporary build due to the physical lifespan of the components themselves. PSU's are not produced to last that long and high-end GPU today will be mid-range at best in half a decade's time. That's just about all I can add...

    The Anime Thread

    Barakamon, Parasyte and Fate/Stay night: UBW are probably the top three for me this year of what I have watched. I didn't get around to watching as many this year as I would have liked. Ping Pong, Mushishi Zoku Shou and Space Dandy are among the series in my backlog.
