geez, how long would that take, with a roomful of people?

I'm a girl. I dropped physics at the end of year 11, and kept chem. I would've liked it to have been the other way round, I like physics much better, but chem was assumed knowledge for more courses and at the time I didn't have much idea of what I wanted to do. We have two classes of...

ta, muchly. hear, hear. :D

Some people who have commitments like competitive sport or music start their HSC in year 12 by doing some subjects then and some in the following years.

Yes. I have been avoiding the media for about three months now. "Don't stress" articles are the worst. Ranked up there with the "we can help you" study guides. not bagging out james ruse and other selective schools who do really well, but no-one seems to take into consideration the fact...

no, what else was I supposed to do? I needed to be desensitised to human society so I could function as a 'normal' human being. actually, never knowing the feeling of "not going to school", how is it possible to determine whether it was a waste of time or not?

That is so true. The HSC is one big media hype, moreso last year than any other because it was the first year of the 'new' HSC. Just a bunch of journalists trying to make sense of second-hand information and make it sound impressive.

I have said this before in a huge post I wrote in another thread, but basically I believe that it shouldn't be a test of academic ability, because I don't believe that it is possible to have a test of academic ability. This has to do with diversity, etc., etc. I mean, a person can say that...

and that gets us all into the sticky question of whether the HSC is an appropriate place for smart people to try to show their intelligence, as opposed to their ability to confrom to dot points in a syllabus. "why shouldn't "dumb" people be able to get the marks too?" ah, the feeling of de...

me? no, of course not. :p

lol nah, I'm interested, but not that interested. I'd much rather go to uni at the 'right' age. :p (not saying necessarily that there really is one...)

Come to think of it, i have the RACI Chem comp periodic table taped to the back of my calc too. It was just put there because I was so sick of rummaging around bulky textbooks trying to find a periodic table. I haven't realised I've been taking it into almost every exam. But it isn't like the...

I'm 17. why?

I concur charges on both sides must balance.

to add my two cents worth.... I've done the HSC over 3 years. In 2000 I did 3 unit music, last year business studies, and this year all other 13 units. :D It hasn't been bad at all. I did it because I was interested in the subjects that I accelerated in and it gave me an opportunity to...

definitely - "and the places far and wide smoke with sulfur-fumes." do you translate that in the historic present?

dunno, just slipped my mind, like so many things these days. *slaps herself* My understanding is that he is inherently fallible, but that being an instrument of destiny, his faults may be disregarded. An important aspect of his characterisation in the story is that he is never fully...
