Some branches of Engineering have a high drop out rate. We all can sense that very high level Maths and Physics are bound to be harder than other subjects. But since engineers are not very well paid, it is not a high -demand degree (or vice versa). So people think it must be an easy course as it...

I just read the text books from page to page. People laugh at me when I tell them I read even physics and chem texts like story books and go for the exam. And I don't do bad either. Well at least it went fine till now but now I'm getting anxious as I don't know how to make notes. Textbooks? Yes...

Getting anxious as I've never ever made notes from Year 7 till now. But is that really abnormal. Ae there others who have never made notes? Anyone who did well in previous HSCs without making elaborate notes or even none at all?

Thanks for the suggestions. Will see how it goes. If I can't manage some stuff, then I can go for it at some stage. For the first term, have no distinct plans or rigid study schedule yet.

do624...rightly said. Wonder if I'll get time to accelerate now. I'm not really struggling in any way. In a way I do accelerate from tiem to time as I have rather wider knowledge developed over the years about most subjects than those who stick to the syllabus. But it is suggestions like "HSC...

Yes, sometimes I too feel tutoring would have been benefical in some ways - tiem management and extra notes. But seems like its too late for it. That's why I was trying to ask if there are others who were in a similar situation during their 2008 or previous HSCs...and who eventually ended up...

Just wondering. Am I the only one who doesn't go for any tutoring? But keep wondering did I do the right thing by being on my own. Afterall, nobody will call me a genius - if I end up getting 95 UAI while others with tutors' help get more. It's the outcomes that matter. Now with a few months...

It is sickening, this competition for UAI's. This scaling business sounds so manipulative and calculative. People end up opting for a well scaling course that they don't like but simply for good UAI, they have to go for economics and then end up as a doctor. As long as one gets admission in...

but still...what I wrote is based on wide research at an institute that produces maximum medicos :) most people have no idea what they are doing. they just know they want the most prestigious course. If say tomorrow some other course becomes more prestigious, then they all will start doing...

More people want to go to medicine for money. Definitely true. Many are pushed towards it by their parents who themselves know nothing at all about education. They see that this is the course with highest UAI and that's it. We want this as it must be cool. Even students who love...

Hi I've had similar problems deciding about IPT. Now too I feel I should drop IPT as it is still early and I feel I'll be wasting whole year doing it and still not really counted as it is my back up subject. Is it wise to have only 10 units though?

No One Has Answered My Initial Question Yet!!!!!!!!!!!

Backcountrysnow...pls take this cheapo pic off your id...it is offensive to the eyes and degrading as it is a disrespect for the elderly. Anyways, not suitable for bos at least. thanks

That way my mum also feels as if it is her HSc and she even picks up various folders to organize them till I say "Thanks Maa I'll tell you when I need you" . She says Hsc is once in a life time so try your best. But in my original query I asked a different question. Maybe somebody knows the way...

I just wonder what role do parents play in their child's HSc. I'm not talking about parents teaching the kids or caring for them during exam days. It's the duties they undertake within the school that I'm talking about. If we students are Prefects or Captains, then that is positive for getting...

Some people say they have Maths Ext 1 as well as Ext 2. Do they opt for it separately? Or if one has Ext 2 then does it mean we automatically have Ext 1 as well? I mean, when we appear in Ext 2 Maths exam (say trails or HSc whatever), then do we naturally get separate marks stated for their Ext...

Thanks for your suggestions. I will discuss it all with my teachers and see how it goes. In fact this is a decision about my extra subject as I already have a 10 unit total - with 4unit Maths, Advanced English, Physics and Chemistry. But just in case I do badly in one of these plus if I do...

Hi, Thanks everyone for your reply. I will make up my mind about Music 2, harder tough it seems compared to IPT. With such detailed information, I'll weigh the pros and cons, will discuss with my teachers too and see what they say. Thanks again.

Hi everyone, I just need help in deciding between these two subjects - Music 2 and Information Processes and Technology. These two subjects are not for my main 10 units but as I need extra 2 units just to be on the safe side, I have to have one of these. I did almost equally good in both in my...
