    Who wishes

    I'm guessing I'm in a similar boat to you - my second to last paper was Extension English last Friday, leaving seven days between it and Chem. It could well be worse though - the Art people are 2 hours after us, and anyone doing Food Tech or Society and Culture don't finish until the 15th...

    Who is sick of not getting enough lines to write on?

    I think with regards to lines its a mentality issue. Say, perchance, there's a 4 mark question on BCS theory with 14 lines to write in, as opposed to the 7 or so there are in the exam. How much more then will a person who hasn't studied BCS theory be thrown by the appearance of the question? I...

    Any One Else do Language Of Sport?

    I didn't do it, but just for referencing - last year's Board of Studies' Marking Notes said that a fantastically large 13 people did the Language of Sport as an elective. I think you pair may just be in the minority..

    How Many Pages Did You Write?

    I pretty much agree with the above - no essay length is directly congruent to a good or bad mark. If you're happy with your work, whether you wrote 15, 25 or 50 pages total, then best of luck to you. If not, bemoan a crappy stimulus, mental blanks during the exam or just get off the computer and...

    How Many Pages Did You Write?

    The markers are doing so for a set duration, not a set number of answers, so ultimately there's no need to be concerned if you're pulling out the megafauna handwriting and writing 9000 pages per question. As long as it's still legible, up-scaled handwriting may possibly a help, moreover than...

    Postmodernism

    I thought both were fantastic - fantastic though in the sense that I'd prepared both questions and could recite them word for word - both the essay and creative stimuli meant I could cater them with a minimum of fuss. I thought the pictures were fantastic, and even in my relatively small group...

    How Many Pages Did You Write?

    Postmodernism Essay: 23 Creative: 23 Circa 5 words a line for what its worth. I did lightning write exercises heading into the trials and then again briefly leading into area of study. For the most part however, I'm tiring of people always bringing up "quality over quantity" - we'll see how...

    2006 UMAT results???

    I've not been able to check as yet - given that the documentation/email will have been sent to parent's computer - but right now I'm feeling far from confident. I'm curious as to what would be considered workable totals for applications/interviews at all three NSW unis. I'm sure no one can...

    Pain of Salvation songs

    I've had Remedy Lane for three and a half years or so and it is unquestionably by favourite album to date, distantly seconded by Radiohead's OK Computer. Without elaborating too heavily, I just say that there's barely a bad song on the CD and if you have the time to listen through and piece...

    How did your Vivas go?

    Our school has taken a different tact with the Vivas. Rather than one pressure-filled interview, we've ten (or so) individual sessions with our teacher over the course of Terms One and Two. Just means we're constantly setting (and achieving) goals in the course and never falling too far behind...
