lol im not asking for notes(hehe its dats wat u think the reason to start this thread was), since most chinese on the BOS forum is like fluent in english, so i was wondering if any of u r doing chinese background? im doing it, but i REGRET it heaps, i enjoy the subject the lessons, however i hate it when i get results back, completing with ppl who just came from china is realli not that fair considerin i grew up here...so anyone?

i do chinese background. it's a pretty rewarding course, getting high marks isn't hard but i'm afraid it will be much more difficult in the hsc. yeah the scaling's not fab but since minimal effort is needed in this course (for me), it's worth it.

if anyone would like to share notes, i'm happy to upload mine

I'm in the same boat as Tao. :p Perhaps an even worse one.

I suck balls at Chinese Background. But then, Continuers is way too easy for me. So I've been stuck with newly-arrived-from-China kids for a couple of years.

This is outside my 10 units, and I'm sure my results in it won't be anywhere near better than any of my subjects at school, so meh.

No. She is an oversea student, so she was not allowed to get any extra mark through EAS. man it's her true ability.

First in Chinese and ESL I'm sure, forgot her other ranks - she didn't come first for everything.

I think she came to Australia in yr 10.

GRC Oatley.

The minimum UAI required for med is 95.00.
