Wow! That's really great!! I would buy more of my books from op shops and library sales, but I'm usually too picky about the conditions of the books to go through with it. Hmm, I plan on hoarding more classics in the future. That's basically what I've been trying to do for some time now.. but...

Out of Dan Brown's books, I thought Digital Fortress was one of his better works. Angels and Demons I thought was more entertaining than Da Vinci Code, while Deception Point was just disappointing. It was dull and basically, crap.

Thanks for all the tips! They're a great help :D

That is exactly me in an exam room. I lose the most marks in my multiple choice sections. I mean, I'm pretty good at english if you give me written responses and that, but MC? I can't do them for the life of me. Then I usually choose the wrong one out of the two most correct answers *facepalm*

I know! We had ten minutes reading time and I didn't even finsih reading the thing! I think I abandoned reading it about half way through.. I just followed the lines given by each question :D We didn't actually have a half yearly paper for english. Just 5 assessment tasks throughout the year.

Some do write their own, but a lot use the independently created exams. I was so surprised when I learnt that a few of my friends from other schools had some of the same trials as us. My english trial didn't have the Golden Compass though.. the first article was a short story (though pretty...

Lucky duck! I wouldn't mind tutoring myself actually.. not just for the money though. Year 3 is pretty young, but I started tuition when I was in Year 4 and am still going with it. I think it helps with discipline for some.. just learning to manage time and balance school and tuition work more...

Wow - thanks for all the info, cem. That's kind of a relief to know that our marks get "scaled" up higher.. but it's a shame we don't actually get to know our raw marks to see how well we actually did. All the same, a relief.

Thanks =)

We haven't got all of ours yet. Our trials are basically our yearlies, with the exception of maths. I actually thought I did okay with the trials, but it turns out I didn't do as well as I'd hoped to do. Maths: 89/100 Science: 81/100 << absolute shock - my only consolation is that the top...

Thanks for all the hints! That was really helpful. I know a lot of seniors who always say that SC is a waste of time and we shouldn't worry about it, but honestly, I think that from our perspective, it's a quite a deal. It's the biggest thing we've done so far, and I still think it warrants some...
