I just wrote two paragraphs on each of the speech. About four of them are I think passable. The other ones are basically a pile of quotes and techniques with an insight stuck at the top... in case of an emergency. Bandler is my worst one by far since they asked that last year.

If you have a back up of 68, then there us nothing at all to worry about :) You have good ranks and your cohort shouldn't drag you down that much. There is no need to be concerned about things you cannot control i.e the scaling of subjects for 2013 and the performance of others. Just focus for...

But your aim is 80, isn't it? I'd say that's certainly possible! I feel the same way about most of my subjects.

Anyone here?

Wow everyone's 'Then' have been sensible so far. Then: A popstar Now: Historian/Scholar, Musician (a very different sort to what I wanted to be back then) or a Musicologist.

I am not that stressed, many unis offer the course I want to do, with some having a cut off of 55 (of course in the better unis it is much higher) but I still work hard because I just figured, it's the HSC and you only do it once...well, at least most of us do. I, for one, have no intention of...

Anyone doing an all nighter tonight?

I'd consider myself a mild procrastinator. A website blocking program called Cold Turkey helped me stay focused, I suggest if you are having similar problems, you should try it. And...I am blocking BoS for the next few hours. Bye Bye :)

Did a solid 8 hours of study today, but went on the internet at 8pm 'just to quickly check facebook' have hardly done anything since. Fml.

Wow amazing job! :)

Yes, something similar happened at my school too. When I was in yr 8, the yr 12's dug a giant penis on the back oval and the principal made them spend the rest of the day filling the holes back up. Its just a shame that the previous years ruined it for the rest of us :/ And thank you :) Had it...

Having mine on Friday. There are normally unforeseen uni and other miscellaneous awards alongside the usual 1st and 2nds in course, sporting and all rounders. In regards to muck-up day: Today bore the semblance of a muck up day, but the teachers have been threatening us for weeks with getting...

I am making my own notes for Ancient at the moment (just finishing off the ones for my last topic, all the other topics are done), and that is my way of revising. I think if you haven't made any at all by this point, it is best to find them online.

Thank you :) Yes, the idea itself is not the best because I usually make my stories character rather than plot driven. My teacher said, provided I do it from an interesting angle, it could work. There is no big drama if it isn't my best, I already have 2 stories that I like more, and this is...

Every time I go onto the BoS homepage by typing the address in the address bar, it seems to redirect me to www.chatod.com, some strange chatroom thing. I only managed to get on here by googling the Bored of Studies site and clicking links that redirect me to specific sections of the forum.

One of my Extension short stories is from the view point of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. Some of the story is concerned with his musings as to the nobility of his cause (ie the return of slavery) and his willingness to commit a heinous crime to free the US from the...

Wonderful job on those ranks :)

I'd say student A would get it if its calculated that way.

I think it depends on two things: how you go in the externals and what your other ranks are.

Yes, and it takes into account the difficulties of the subjects as well. As much as I'd love to be dux, I know that the guy who is predicted dux does much higher scaling courses than me, even though he is getting 'only' 4 firsts/seconds. Thus, it wouldn't be fair if I beat him for it just by...
