    Is doing past paper a good way for revision?

    Heyhey, Past papers are a really good way of familarizing yourself with what type of questions u can expect from your trials/hsc. There are plenty of ways u can cover every single dot point in the syllabus - textbook, teacher's notes, notes from this site, answers to past paper qs...

    The Anime Thread

    Hey ppls, Anyone care to recommend me some good (preferrably new, so i can still download it) anime... I've never been a big time anime watcher, but I really liked Kenshin, Naruto (well it was mad until like ep 120 or something) and Hajime no Ippo (never got to finish this series :()...

    Work Experience with a GP or Hospital

    Is this for school work experience or just for your own interest? Email, write to & call the HR department. I remember it was quite difficult to 'secure' a work experience place; i.e. sent numerous emails & called a few times because they never got back to me. But yeh, as it has been...

    Physiotherapy

    Here's what I know about physio @ monash/melbourne. I got offered a place at Monash and not for Melbourne :p Check their websites. I think physio entry for monash/melb is actually pretty hard, at least compared to usyd.

    Physiotherapy

    Ahh fair enough sunnybuns. I thought I'll just point out at Physio @ USyd is at a pretty small campus too (i.e. its at the Health Science campus in Cumberland, not the main campus in Sydney city). All the best for JCU!

    Physiotherapy

    Out of interest, why JCU?

    elective- forensic or shipwrecks

    Heyhey, I did shipwrecks, and as people have said, its really based upon REDOX reactions. Things like how substances will behave in electrolytes etc. Personally, I found shipwrecks pretty interesting and I would definetly recommend it.

    I need Help!!!

    Heyhey, I (and a lot of ppl in my class) also had problems in writing in an 'authentic' 19th century style. To my knowledge, there really aren't any study guide type of things that 'teach' u how to write in the language of that time period. So the best thing I can recommend is to read as...

    Uni students applying for undergrad med 2007

    Hey ppls, I applied for med last year (at most aussie uni's) but got no interview etc. My UMAT was the downer mainly, but my UAI was that hot either. So yeh, I'm doing physio @ usyd atm, which is challenging enough, but I'm going to have another shot at undergrad med. So yeah, if u are a...

    How valuable is Ext2 English?

    yo Keep in mind that ext 2 english will only count as ONE unit (unlike ext 2 maths which counts as two). So yes, if i remember correctly it scales relatively well (i think below ext maths), but yeh, keep in mind that 1 unit = just 10% of your final UAI.

    Boy, was that a waste of time...

    Haha sif man... I'm doing a fair bit of all the sciences (at around HSC level) at uni at the moment - chemistry included.

    One Tree Hill

    hmm I've heard rumours that OTH may be getting cut soon. I really hope not. Lately I've become a sucker for American teenage dramas (well the OC and oth). I think OTH has been pretty good lately. Maybe its cos I'm a sucker for drama. Eps 16 & 17 were shockers (in a good way).

    Creative Writing Prep

    Creative writing prep is always a bit more dodgy I know, and for ext english I actually never had to write a creative till late in term 2. I remember there being a lot qs on creative writing when I did the hsc, so I'll try to help out. As always, look at past papers and see what type of...

    Best Economics Textbook

    I'd recommend those two. Personally, I found Dixon to be nice, straightforward and relatively easy to understand. I thought Riley went into a bit more detail which is perhaps useful for essays. I was highly recommended Bulmer by MANY people. Bulmer has a pretty high level of content and I...

    Best Chemistry Textbook

    As a lot of ppl have said - Conquering Chemistry as your primary text and maybe some additional stuff with Chemistry Contexts. The prob I found with Chemistry Contexts is that it does tend to go off syllabus a lot, so u just gotta filter out what you read. I didn't exactly kill chemistry in...
