    Food to eat while losing weight?

    The cold water thing has been proven to work effectively. It may only burn a little by itself as an action, but it revs up the metabolism for further energy expenditure throughout the day :) Or the Antarctica thing could work. Either way. ^

    Two UMAT questions a day.

    Q7) (B) RC= Academy Award RC= < $20 million (some) SS=> $20 million Not (A) because a SS movie may star RC, and anything starring RC will win an AA. Not (C). The second part of the first sentence is explicit in contradicting this statement. Not (D). The first...

    Yea, he said despite my acedemic abilities most of the brightest students don't get through the UMAT but get an amazing ATAR. I quote, ''be prepared to settle for a science degree". -.- Oh well, I'm moving to a better school this year where they are more encouraging :D

    Careers advisor said it was harder than the whole HSC altogether. At that moment I was dropping out to become a cat.

    Two UMAT questions a day.

    Doing Q6 first, I have to think about Q5 more... I believe the answer is (B) -light-hearted. Initially we get the sense of a reminicense, 'My friend Paul was driving....', however a crash is not a happy memory or one that would want to be relived, i.e. something to be nostalgic about. Not (C)...

    Two UMAT questions a day.

    ^ lol. ... @ Sainteced- I wish I could summarise Q4 like you did, so succinct and logical. I struggle with this skill all the time; I barely ever finish my exams because I tend to explain my answers in too much detail or struggle to construct an answer that addresses the question appropriately...

    Two UMAT questions a day.

    Question 4, (D). The reason I have is because of the evident negativity present in her speech which sorta of identifies her character as desperate. Josephine: Doctor, I can't. I just can't cope with it. You can't imagine how much pain I went through when my first child was born. I can't take...

    Two UMAT questions a day.

    Question 3- A? Because: bo=man, lail=heavy, luk=package, jo= pretty. Therefore bo would have to be in the answer because the word 'man' is needed in the phrase, that eliminates (C) and (D). Since luk means package and we're looking for 'pretty' that eliminates (B); also, an adjective is needed...

    Soz :( Ok, well... I want to do medicine, eventually going into a specialty or surgery hopefully, i.e i need a really high ATAR :L so i want the best chance of that. I wouldn't mind doing international business seeing as i don't know if I'm cut out emotionally for med (defs not doing law...

    Physics -vs- Economics -vs- Japanese Cont. (open high schools) ?

    Science yes, maths no. For some crazy reason I'm doing 3U though; that most likely will change... But physics is a mathematical science (problem solving! :O ) mostly, that's the scary part :/
