Plat 3 woot

Damnit, failed promos to Plat 3 twice. I never get my role when they come up.

Does anyone find it amazing how the poll's ratio has nearly been 1:1 for all these years?

The jetstream pens run out of ink fast though... I bought 3 of them for trials and they're all nearly depleted. You can't buy refills either.

Happy birthday

I think my thinking was a little bit too simple when I said I wanted to do software engineering; "I'm good at programming. I'm good at maths. And it has good pay". What would be the best way to find the correct course to pursue in university? I'm having trouble seeing anything viable past...

I hate the HSC. Can we have a two minute hate like they do in Nineteen Eighty-Four?

Thanks for the responses! Yeah, I've read that rote learning is quite effective for biology. My plan is to transfer each dotpoint into a program called Quizlet and try Flop's idea. I used it a bit during trials to remember certain things and it worked well. I think it also allows spaced repetition.

How do you effectively rote learn? I've done digital notes then attempted to rewrite them on paper but when I come back to them a month later, they're mostly gone from my memory. There was something about how your brain retains information every 10 minutes, 60 minutes etc... but I don't get...

I play call of duty, does that count?

I think I read only like 8% of the territory of ISIS was reclaimed since 2015. That doesn't seem like a lot.. Saw it somewhere on Reddit and my memory is horrible, so someone confirm.

Plat 4, my life is complete.

Do you know what the source book of readings provided by BOS is necessary for? I only discovered it during doing my major project, don't think our teacher put any major emphasis on it. This one (http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/history_ext_readings.pdf)

Nah ours is on Monday. A bit confused on what to study. I'm just doing craptonnes of past essays by Monday and will hope for the best.

Anyone keen for extension history? I've got ma philosophical groove in da move.

Is there any reason why I can concentrate better in the afternoon trial exams rather than the morning ones? Should I wake up earlier to simulate my afternoon concentration for the morning exam tomorrow?

Is there any disadvantage to sharing notes? I've made notes on every subject, should I put them all up on my cohort's facebook page?

Nothing out of the ordinary, that was a good exam. My weakest was probably the international studies question.

True, I am focusing on them but that was one of the main commments I got in my previous exams, dates.

I'm trying to remember all the key dates for all the modern history topics and it's damn impossible!! You can't make associations with anything because they're just dates. I might try do a long narrative paragraph which connects all the key dates and hopefully that'll help me remember them. Then...
