    Young Writers Showcase -- 'alternate' methods of acquisition

    Howdy, sorry to sound cheap here, but -- is there any way to access the Young Writers Showcases' without buying it on the online eBOS store? Is it available in bookshops like Borders, Dymocks, etc? Or available on the, er, Internet? Cheers

    Should I risk taking up 4U as part of 10 Units?

    If anyone can be bothered reading this and replying, then thank you so much! :angel: I'm not completely sure whether to take up 4U Math...I've read most of the 'If you're in YR 11, read this 1st' thread. For Ext1: - I averaged ~75% in 3U topic tests in YR 11 - I got 61% in the half-yearly and...

    Need a calculator for 4U!

    Howdy I'll be doing 4U starting Monday. I currently own the fx-82au, my bro has the fx-82au PLUS (which I find better). Seeing as I'll be doing ~2hrs Math a day for the coming 13 months, I may as well get as good a calculator as I can within regulations. What are my options? Heck, I'll pay...

    Quick q's about Sydney Boys

    thanks again evil...took a look at that table. a petty question here -- in the case of one having 10 units, does the school go to any efforts to set students' free periods up so you have any afternoon's or mornings off or whatever? (Cos my pet hate is mid-day frees...I SO want one 1st or 6th...

    The Reading Recommendations Thread

    I have about $50 and I'm defs getting Tim Winton's 'Breath' tomorrow for $25. With the other $25, I'm tossing up between 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman and 'Magician' by Raymond E Feist. Which do you guys recommend? I don't mind about genre etc. Any books you would recommend over these two?

    Quick q's about Sydney Boys

    Thanks again buddy - I've heard from other ppl as well that English isn't a strong point at High, and but surely it's still better than a school ranked 75-100? - Also could you or someone give me a roundup of my chances of getting a good teacher in Math/Physics/Chem/EnglishAdvanced? I'll...

    Quick q's about Sydney Boys

    Hi boys :P I've been accepted for Yr 12 next term. If I do end up going, I want to do 4U Math (+AdvEnglish+Physics+Chem). Apparently in term 4 we continue the 3U Math course, and late that term the whole grade sits a 3U exam, with the top 120 ranks making 4U....Meaning that I'll only have 9...

    ALWAYS paraphrase the question?

    Is it true that we must paraphrase the essay question statement in our intro? That's the impression I've gotten this year, but when in exams I really feel that the question already there is fine, so I'd rather copy it. If I write anything else, it confuses me and then I've got two questions to...
