I'm feeling like a massive jump in any sort of commitment is required! But the work isn't any harder..... except for Chem.

Does anybody else go to bed thinking "Right! I'm going to get up early tomorrow, study for 3 hours straight and be waaaay ahead." and then wake up the next morning, groan, roll over and sleep for those 3 hours instead? This is basically the story of my life.

He mustn't have slept much.

Thank you both so much for your fantastic advice! :party:It's a great help to have some support, particularly since I'm doing Italian by distance, so thank you! Just a couple of other questions; How exactly do I connect with Italian TV channels? Do I have to have Austar or are they on at a...

Re: How to excel in senior year studies (yr 11/12) Yep, I agree. There is way too much hype about how difficult the whole year is. For me, it was only some bits that were stressful, the rest was way easier than I expected.

Ciao tutti! I would really, really like some advice from some previous Italian Continuers students about how they studied Italian and the best ways of improving in each of the skills (Reading and Responding, Writing, Listening and Speaking). I particularly need help with listening, as well...

Yeah, I haven't gotten a picture yet because I can't find any I like.......perhaps I'll steal yours :)

Hey, I love your picture of Winnie the Pooh! And yeah, I'd also love to be your friend- I've been feeling the lack of them myself! :)

Thank you! I'll keep on thinking about it. After all, I've got at least another year.

I agree wholeheartedly. It is the best subject anyone ever thought up. I am incredibly excited to be doing it all year! Hurray for Extension 2!

Hi enoilgam! I am considering Notre Dame to study Arts/ Literature in 2016. Do you recommend it?

Yep; all those charming hours spent with my beloved Maths book.(Blarghh) Can you learn to have a photographic memory? Or is there an operation where they can stick a camera inside your brain, because I'm willing to try it..... Ah well, I think we bourgeoisie who have normal memories will just...

Yeah, I think I'll stick with application in Maths, in spite of the fact it sounds like a lot more work. (Yuck) Rote learning English sounds like a sure-fire way to shoot creativity in the foot, though. Has anyone rote-learned an essay for their exam and done really well?

Woah! Our subjects are pretty similar! Are you doing Beginners or Continuers Italian? Anyway, I'm Therese and I will be doing: 4u English 3u Maths Chemistry Italian Continuers (and as much dancing, drama and music that I can squeeze in on the sides) I am aiming for 99+, just for the heck of it...

Same! Hurray!

So, I'm guessing that it's useless for people studying a lot of English? What about Maths? Or is that better learned through application?

Wow! Reading this thread has just made me freeze up so bad. My stomach has curdled at the thought of HSC. How does anyone survive this year? By the way, what exactly is rote learning and what subjects does it apply to?

This is all new to me, as I have always just written stories as they came and still achieved high marks. Reading extensively seems to imbibe a sense of textual form and techniques. However, I really would like to learn formalities in creative as I am about to commence Extension 2 English. Would...

Hey! Did anyone else's school get into the Gallipoli trip ballot? Ours did (Hooray!) and as we are so small, I have a big chance of getting in. (Double hooray!) Anyone else going to try to come? This is when Prime interviewed us about it...
