For the most part our school is pretty good. We have a bunch of people that are the constant over-achievers, but it's evened out now. There are two girls who just refuse to be happy for their best friends if they beat them by one mark. I actually can't understand that way of thinking. Other than...

I'm really liking the music one, but that's just me being a nut for my ipod. :) Talk to your teacher a bit more. Maybe you could talk about the way today's music has influenced today's youth to rebel using violence as opposed to past generations where it was a form of non-violent protest? You...

I'd just be really careful with the ethical concerns involved. Bullying's a really sensitive topic, particularly when it comes to doing your primary methodologies like questionnaires and interviews. I'm not in any way trying to put down your topic, but if there is a slip up with non-ethical...

I've asked about doing two major works, and the major piece of advice I've been given is that if you're an organised person, you should have no problem. Give it a go. If it's too much, drop it.

Thankyou so much for these. They've been a great help in trying to predict the sorts of questions for the essays in our yearlies. :)

So I'm quite overweight, and it's something I'm obviously trying to change. I've been given advice that I need to follow a high-protein, low-carb diet. Cutting down the carbs fine and I understand that meats are good, but a piece of meat, fish or chicken at night isn't getting my protein levels...

You are a visual and auditory learner. You can benefit by using a combination of sight and sound when studying. You might use the phrase "I hear what you're saying" often. You can pick up information most easily by listening and reading. You may like to see class demonstrations, diagrams and...

Nothing will ensure you a 70+ ATAR. Hard work's the only thing that will do that. You'll be fine with those subjects if they're something you enjoy and you're good at. Don't worry about scaling.

Great post may-cat. Make failing your motivation. I know how awful it feels to fail, and all you have to think to yourself is that you don't want it to happen again. I get the whole "distracted by the internet thing" completely, but after I get an assessment back and I didn't do as well as I...

lol. It's true. Everytime I think that surely I'd have to be able to get Shakespeare this time, I can still never decipher it.

It is only year 11, but the only way to go about it is to force yourself to study. No-one actually likes work, it's just a matter of getting over that hurdle of sitting down and doing it. I find that after ten minutes I can keep at it. Then again, that's me. I suppose the only thing to do it...

If you're coming third compared to the advanced people, you should definitely do it. As everyone's said, it's SO much harder to get a band 6 in standard, and you might find the advanced course more rewarding. If it doesn't work, I assume you could revert back to standard? Have a crack at it. It...

It's exactly the same at my school and it's aggravating. It just ends up being really confusing after a while. I really like the content, but it feels like there's no substance to the class. All our teacher does is sit back and let us make the points, and usually they're either glaringly obvious...

I know this is going on a bit of a tangent, but I'll say it anyway. The problem with Shakespeare isn't the actual play, it's the shitty BBC versions you have to watch along with it. That's the worst part of English for me.

Done it. :)

Loving year 11. I like the subjects I've chosen and we have a pretty good year. It's less pressure too, just because you know it's not year twelve. It's so much better than every other year.

No. THe preliminary course is quite heavy in the foundations of the stuff you do in your HSC. If you don't do the preliminary year you won't have a base for all the year twelve studies.

The best was either Animal Farm or To Kill A Mockingbird. Worst was Artemis Fowl in year 7. To this day I have no idea what the point of studying that was.

I'm doing quite well at it, but I can't stand the content, especially the AOS. Of course, it doesn't help that my teacher's a little condescending...

Friday's my nothing night. I never do homework on Fridays. It's the whole point of having one. =)
