    Biology? Are you ready?

    All set for Biology except for a few topics. As long as it doesn't have a lot of questions on plants for Maintaining a Balance and preventing the spread of disease and quarantine for Search for Better Health. And if the questions for the Human Story is like what I got on my school's trial paper...

    Exam predictions

    My prediction for Physics is either a passing reference for a 1-2 mark question or a question asking to assess and analyse the results of the OPERA neutrino anomaly (the one with neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light). With such a controversial topic open in the world of physics, I...

    Locus: centre (1,0) radius 4 ?

    You and me both, man. I just finished expanding when they announced "pens down". Grrrr.

    The three questions here - and thier Difficulty

    Module A (A Room of One's Own/Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?): easy Module B (Hamlet): threw me off a little when I first saw it, but I got the hang of it afterwards. Not as easy as the others. Module C (Snow Falling on Cedars): easy I was surprised about how general all of the questions were...

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    Module A: very broad question, made it easy Module B: harder, but you could still apply it to anything. I liked how we were given the final lines Module C: really broad question, I liked it But I hate my organisation and writing speed! I only got 2 paragraphs for all of my essays and even then...

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I went in with only a plan of what I was going to do, and it was about a person belonging to others primarily, so I just needed to change the focus and there you go, a decent story! Except I went over and only had about 30 minutes to do it. It pretty much comes off as the biggest piece of...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Works so well with Skrzynecki and to an extent my gothic additional text. I just filled that essay up with as many quotes as I could and explained how it related to belonging. I didn't finish and I still had a paragraph to go, but I was already overtime as it was. Sort of confident with this...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Re: How Great Was That? I think I did terribly. I try to space out my essay so that I do the essay then do a bit of comprehension, but instead I go overtime on the essay, don't finish, rush the 5-marker and then do my creative on 30 minutes, with the ending being really sloppy and rushed. I...

    Relax - They'll be over soon :)

    Physics on the 4th of November. I'm not looking forward to the final "pens down", I don't think I'll be finished by then. And the cramming, oh the cramming!

    Do you believe in God?

    Re: Do you believe is God? I do not believe in a God, and for the most part I can be anti-Christian. But I am a Buddhist and won't be rude to specific people who are my friends that do believe in it.

    Soundwave 2012?

    Unless I'm absolutely desperate to see some of the bands on the bill who don't do sideshows, I might go. Personal opinion, the line-up is horrendous. I'd go to see Devin Townsend, Meshuggah and Watain, but Devin will probably do sideshows.

    Who has atar expectations which they dont think are attainable?

    My ATAR goal is 97.25, but combined with my relatively low ranking in my subjects and my revision with past HSC papers, there's absolutely no way I'm going to get it. According to the online ATAR calculators, I'll need to get a band 6 for all of my subjects, but I'm not even getting it for half...

    metal

    http://www.metalobsession.net/2011/10/08/absu-are-touring-with-portal-and-ruins-no-were-not-kidding/ Absu. Touring. With Portal and Ruins. This show should be absolutely massive, and no 18+ shows or alcohol laws are going to stop me from going! Who else is keen for Absu next year?

    What does show not tell mean for creative writing?

    You're on the right track, but it's not necessarily that. That 'showing' sentence was just a more elaborating and descriptive version of the 'telling' sentence, but "steadily" is beginning to establish something about the character. Showing instead of telling comes from taking an emotion or...

    B Science/B Arts queries

    Thanks for the help, Chemical Ali and Shadowdude, but that begs another question: why the extra year and will this extra year interfere with an honours year in either the science or arts major? I'm just used to the fourth year being for an honours year in each of the courses, so this extra year...

    Ending a Creative on a sad note.

    Would've thought that story wasn't postmodern or nihilistic enough for you. ;) With your idea for a story there, I reckon that's a good idea. It shows your knowledge in the Area of Study, of the fluidity of the concept of belonging, and if it's done well you should do well. As for negative...

    B Science/B Arts queries

    I'm still in the process of changing preferences and thinking over my options, and this is my choice if I don't get into B Psych. I'm still curious about it so I have a few questions about it all: 1. For this combined degree, which university is better for it: USyd or UNSW? 2. Leading up from...

    Psychology: USyd, UNSW or MacU?

    As a current year 12 student, I'm still in the process of choosing universities and courses. I have a strong interest in psychology so I've decided on doing that, but I'm not sure which of the three listed universities offers the best in psychology. Sydney University seems to maintain a high...
