    Competitions

    =) I did that. Haha. Finan. Lit. Competition I mean. My friend got 48/48. Medal and an additional fat cheque for her. And sometimes, beating "100%" doesn't mean that you will get a medal. For example, I apparently outscored "100%" in the UNSW Writing Comp - but because I didn't get a...

    Which school do you attend, Lucid Scintilla? I attend Sefton, by the way. Sorry for being discourteous and not asnwering you. =) And you're lucky that at your school there is the possibility of accelerating...

    Top Schools in English of 2006 - Sydney Morning Herald

    Because I can't PM you Trebla, I just wanted to ask you here what the top UAIs were this year at Sefton. Sefton really slid down the rankings... I need to know the top UAIs to salvage some school pride.

    Is Sc Equivalent To Hsc?!!!!!

    Nope. =) 1) The effort put into the HSC is tantamount to around 100 times the effort we put into the SC. 2) The SC is, I feel a poor indication of a student's capabilities. So what if a student scores 98 because he/she can pick and shade in bubbles the best? My English teacher told me that...

    Suicide

    Okay. Every one here, bar a few, should stop assuming that Lil committed suicide because of the HSC. I think that it is very rare for some one to take their own life solely because of the pressure of the HSC. Secondly, every one should stop judging her, saying that she's "selfish". Until you...

    IB (at private school) or HSC (at selective school)??

    Apparently, according to your logic, postage is all fixed and sent at regular intervals. Untrue. My friend got his application package and the letter told him to make up his mind in day before the deadline. And, people who apply and then change their minds - their spots are taken up by people...

    English and Maths Tutor

    It's in his signature... $35/hour is a bit too dear for most people I'd say.

    IB (at private school) or HSC (at selective school)??

    They give you virtually one day to decide. I don't know why you're being so edgy about it. People have second thoughts and muddied minds. Not to mention the underlying pointlessness and unconstructive nature of that post. And, I don't know what IB is, but hey, do what makes you feel good...

    UAI prediction plzzzzz!!!!!

    I think that your ranks are really great for a school ranked that highly... Study hard and good luck :) My gut is that you'll do well =D

    Geo Question

    Here are my notes in relation to immigration: Changing Patterns of Migration 1945 – 2000 Soon after WWII, Immigration Minster, Arthur Calwell warned that Australia had to “populate or perish”. What did he mean by this? At the time, the world knew how vulnerable countries...

    Science - Need help with Plate Tectonics!

    Here are my notes on it. I hope they help Earth Plates In 1915, a German scientist, Alfred Wegener, suggested that Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica and India were joined about 200 million years ago. This super continent, called Gondwana, gradually broke apart and...

    What are tutors for?

    ^^ What LottoX said. Tutoring just gives you extra practise... you'll find that many of the top maths students have been tutored and are so good because they have practised mathematical concepts over and over.

    How does school affect UAI/HSC

    Well... lol... I'm really lost so I only came to the logical conclusion that there would be no plausible reason why the system would put certain students at an advantage or a certain disadvantage. But then hey, that's because I'm probably not a cynic as such :D

    When your teachers leave...

    Well, that's not an easy question to answer. There would always be the option of asking the principal for you to change classes, right? Can I ask which school you go to?
