    Go home, eat a tub of icecream and have a cry whilst watching re runs of your favourite sitcom, and then grow a pair and start working hard tomorrow. You can't change the ranks, and while it may be disappointing, ultimately all you can do is look forward. Take the day off to recover from your...

    Liberal Leadership spill 2015

    Game over, turnbull will win guaranteed, those in marginal seats can't afford to lose their seat next election and need that sweet parliamentary pension $$$. Interesting to see how this will affect the election. While I see it swinging a lot of moderates towards the liberal parrty, I don't...

    28 days till HSC: How is everyone preparing?

    Exactly, heaps of people are throwing parties after graduation/formal but I don't even know if people will go BC HSC will be so soon.

    28 days till HSC: How is everyone preparing?

    Dude that's a sick idea, I've never understood why graduation+formal happen before the HSC. Just seems redundant. Good luck man, in 28 days you could learn the whole eco syllabus three times over, so I'm sure you'll be sweet.

    Yeah I think the median ATAR was 68/69. Means that nearly 20% of the kids who started have either dropped out of school or moved to another state!

    Yeah, I'm just going to keep pushing for the highest marks possible and not stress too much about my predictors. All my assessments are in the past anyway so not use resting on my laurels. Remember, as long as you're ranked near the top, school rank shouldn't affect you too much!

    Dyde that must suck! Have you applied for EAS or something? For the last part, maybe try having an enforced break every 2 hours or so where you get up and take a walk outside of the library, just so you don't get into. Bloody puts my 20 minute bus dilemma in perspective.

    If I got the exact raw marks for trials in the HSC and my assessment marks were identical the ATAR calcs say 99.5ish. I'm not really trusting that though, because I think the HSC will have more pressure riding on it, and as KAP said, although most of my trials were independent, could of gotten...

    Hmmmm looking at the USYD EAP application form, the majority of it is focused on time away from school/studies and is more compensatory while the UNSW one is more rewarding (idk just the vibe I'm getting from the two sets of criteria lol). So for USYD, if you spend a lot of time playing piano...

    PLus if my study in my room I can study at any time at the day and not limited by time at the library, so I can always do extra if I want!

    Thanks man, just making sure I don't leave it up to chance and really working hard atm! I study in my room mainly. I'm lucky in that I live in a quiet house so sound isn't a big issue. I feel that studying at the library would do more harm than good for me because I don't really get easily...

    That's ok, heaps of time to catch up still! Better to start kicking it into gear rather than next week right. The statistics are quick if you know where to look. I recommend going through the textbook and checking out the catalog numbers on any statistics, so you can have all the up to date...

    >98.5, that's the cut off for an overseas uni I'm trying to make. Even if I get through the personal statement, subject specific test and interview and get an offer, if I get 98.45 or lower system automatically rejects me and the offer is withdrawn lol.
