    Just a few questions (after a little peace of mind here..)

    I see. 79/80 is quite astounding to hear, I have pretty high doubts that I'll achieve that though, given the little study I've done. I mean, English is my real dread at the moment... Given all the essays and the little perparation I've made. My mark was like 60% in the exam, I can't remember...

    ATAR of 56 is all I need for Bachelor of IT. Nothing to worry about?

    I was talking about the work I was putting into my Multimedia and Extension 2 major works before the trials.

    ATAR of 56 is all I need for Bachelor of IT. Nothing to worry about?

    I've been getting around 75-80% on most assessments in Extension One, and I got 36/50 in the trials. I've been doing worse in Advanced though; around 70-80%, with my occasional downfalls (I think I got around 60% in the trials...). I'm also pretty confident I can get 40+ in Extension 2. I think...

    ATAR of 56 is all I need for Bachelor of IT. Nothing to worry about?

    Hey. So, like a lot of people, I'm really struggling with study right now. I devoted 6-10 hours a day into working on my Multimedia and Extension 2 major works during the previous school holidays, and then anywhere from 2-6 hours a day during the school weeks leading up to the trial exams. I...

    Creating a 'behind the scenes' video to go with documentation?

    Hey guys, I feel good about my video for Multimedia. However my documentation feels so-so. Like it's sort of... lacking. It's at about 26 pages, including the statement of intent, research, development of ideas, justification of ideas, finance & time plan and diary. However I haven't been...

    So, Journals aren't marked?

    Was just browsing through the board of studies website trying to look at how to properly format my journal and I came across this: "22. Should a journal, diary or internet blog be included in the folio?No. Journals, diaries and/or internet blogs should not be required to assess a major project...

    What to include in Multimedia Presentation on Crime writing?

    Hello, I've received a task that's due in a few weeks where I need to use a multimedia presentation to explain how generic conventions of crime writing and their modifications impact on an audience's expectations and responses". I'm after people's (namely people who've done this sort of thing)...

    How does my written proposal look?

    Hey guys, just wanted some of you with experience to look over this written proposal for me. Trying to work out if I've missed anything I should include. I have chosen a genre fiction short story as my major work for the Extension 2 English course. So far, I have brainstormed and explored a...

    End of year report. I can never fully understand the 'Achievement' level box..

    Hey guys, so with every report there's always a little box that shows your achievement level. It displays a thin horizontal line, with a thicker grey line and then a black vertical line somewhere along the thicker grey line. Can someone explain to me what it all means? The black vertical line...

    Bad move to not at least do General maths for the HSC course?

    Yes, Software would require maths if i wanted to do a programming course. But for High School level programming it really doesn't require much maths. Visual Basic, is quite basic. And the Maths problems are nothing unmanageable for me.

    Bad move to not at least do General maths for the HSC course?

    I've pretty much made my mind up. But I'm still after people's opinions on this. I'm fairly certain on what i'm planning to do at Uni, i don't see any sudden callings to be a programmer or an electrical engineer or a scientist coming anytime soon. I think focusing on further expanding my writing...

    Bad move to not at least do General maths for the HSC course?

    My forte in computer subjects is not really in the programming and theory side of things, more so the multimedia and software design side of it. So i don't plan to do any very theory based or coding based computer courses at uni anyway.

    Bad move to not at least do General maths for the HSC course?

    Hey guys, So this year i picked to do Mathematics with the inclusion of a weekly lesson with a tutor. But my ever-growing laziness, mixed with sickness, lack of transport, his involvement with uni caused our lessons to become rather distant and i eventually lost all motivation to give a dam...

    Completely stuck on whether to keep doing IPT in Yr12 or 4U English.

    Yea true enough i do not like IPT. But I am if not the best the second best student in the class because. I'm good at computer subjects to begin with and tend to be getting 75%+ in tasks without putting much effort in. EE2 sounds like a lot more time and effort. But then there is the fact that i...

    Completely stuck on whether to keep doing IPT in Yr12 or 4U English.

    And it's worth keeping Extension 1 for the extra English value and because they pick the best 2 units of English right? Meaning 1 unit of Advanced and Extension 1 English could be calculated into my ATAR score?

    Completely stuck on whether to keep doing IPT in Yr12 or 4U English.

    I must say though, after playing around with one of those ATAR calculator sites.. Considering the amount of time you need to invest into your major work for Extension 2 the difference in ATAR i was getting was nothing special. I assumed i got 85 in IPT and 38 in Extension 2 and the difference in...

    Completely stuck on whether to keep doing IPT in Yr12 or 4U English.

    I love the creative writing side of English and when I have the freedom to analyse something that interests me. My Downfall is when i have to go out and find other sources to back up what I'm writing about and do extensive research into things in particular however looking back at it I guess I'm...
