just saying, but take every single thing here with a grain of salt...People say they study for 8 hours and shit, maybe some do, but I've tried and it simply isn't effective. 4 hours on intense study for 8 hours of prolonged study is usually better. Just list the shit you want to do, do as much as you can, and you'll be right.

Dotpoints which are full sentences:
I like to use arrows and shit instead of words. Like:
ADVANTAGES of ethanol:
+ Renewable => Produced by fermentation of plant matter which can be regrown and is renewable.
+ Carbon neutral => CO2 absorbed by the crop to produce ethanol can match by the CO2 produced by combustion => decrease of net CO2 produced by ethanol when used as a fuel as opposed to other fuels.
+ Less carbon than octane (the major component of petrol), and it already contains an oxygen atom => requires less oxygen to completely combust => CLEANER and MORE EFFICIENT fuel.
+ Produces only carbon dioxide and water as a by-product (complete combustion)

DISADVANTAGES of ethanol:
- Engines => most modified to run on fuel containing more than 20% ethanol.
. . . . . . . => wear down faster due to the need for higher engine compression ratios needed for ethanol combustion because of _____
- Large areas of land are required to grow crops that will be harvested for ethanol production; land that can be used for other purposes.
- Disposal of fermentation wastes presents major environmental issues such as _____ and ____

Stop planning, just start now, you wont get anywhere by making plans and then you'll most likely not follow them... It's impossible to start off with those hours if you start later, start now and build it up by year 12

Whoever said they hoped all the 2011 cohorts were lower this year, I think my school's 2011 cohort is not as strong as the 2010 cohort. And I think my cohort is stronger than the 2011ers, but not as strong as the 2010ers.

And people paying out their cohorts and writing the dux atars which are over 99!!!!...It's been a few years since we had a dux get 99 :( Last year though we had 3 ATARs over 98 :D
