    Is it possible for me to get...

    Pfft, no way! 95+ isn't hard if your rankings are good. If you do poorly on your school assessments and are ranked lower than others, then they can potentially drag you down when it comes to HSC exam time - provided they don't do equally as good or better than you. Seriously though, if...

    Money-saving tips?

    1. re-use your toilet paper... it has 2 sides, you know? 2. don't do vodka and orange... skip the orange and just do shots! Serious note though -- in general it helps to sometimes do things the cheaper way - like, having a movie night instead of going to the cinemas...or going on...

    Do people exaggerate the difficulty of the HSC?

    this and this. I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if I'm repeating anything already said, but I really wanted to reply after reading the thread title... HSC isn't difficult. Each year of high school gradually increases in difficulty (generally), and Year 11 and 12 are no different...

    Focus (Frankenstein/Bladerunner)

    Read over your syllabus and annotate it. Look at the verbs, and gain your own understanding of what it's asking you (you can grab a copy off the Board of Studies website). Pretty much, in this module you don't just look at context, but how changes in context affect the types of ideas...

    Keeping motivated, aiming for ATAR 95+

    Hey mate, it's normal to struggle with study when you set your aims so high. I think you need to know when to take a break, get out, hang out with your mates. My motivation for study was pretty simple - it wasn't just about the marks. I chose subjects I really enjoyed, and that reflected the...

    All nighter on BoS on dec16th

    Yah, agree =] It's amazing how the moment they said "pens down" after my last exam (November 2nd, a beautiful day in history), HSC became a massive nothing. I am looking forward to seeing how I went, where I stuffed up, maybe some pleasant surprises. But I think I'll be sleeping soundly Dec...

    Man to be 'crucified' for raping 5 children

    100% agree with this. He is obviously a complete wanker, but I'm not a supporter of the death sentence. Maybe just let him ponder his mistakes for 90 years in jail? Compulsory counselling? Yeah, so I dislike killing criminals, I believe it degrades us to their level. It's the perversion...
