All teachers say that memorising essays is bad...but dammit-we're not idiots. English essays are unbelievably predictable-they are practically TELLING you to memorise them! :p Just make sure that the essay you memorise is flexible...if you just slap on a conclusion and introduction that ties...

Hmm...even though I totally understand that people want to aim for a v.high UAI like 99.something just for personal satisfaction-At the same time, I think that it is exactly that mentality that leads to there being so much stress/disappointments with the HSC. People seem to see it as an...

Ah, yeah when I was in like year 8 we used to get bomb threats pretty much every second day for about a month straight. At first it was kinda cool (ie-"yay, we get out of class!") but after awhile it was just like "Damn-now we have to sit on the boring oval for 2 hours!" (now...if a bomb went...

Do you "still have a hope?" Yes, of course-theres still half a year to go! Does it appear likely from those marks? To be completely honest with you-no. I'm not saying you're marks are terrible and that you may as well give up now-but only a very small percentage of the stage get 95+, and it is...

But I'm sleeping with my lecturer and I hav- I mean...hey, look a distraction!:p

OMG yes, exactly! I don't have a job, and do a coupel of hours of UNI work every evening during the week and dedicate most of my weekends for catchup...and I still always seem to be two steps behind everyone else! I have friends who work like 20 hours a week, and who go out with friends and...

I have a feeling I am gonna get attacked for this...but meh-it's the truth. Why is everyone getting so defensive?! This thread was only started cos people wanted to know what was going on...when people found out the situation, did anyone say that it was a selfish act? No. If people are not...

Have a look at the previous years cut offs as well, and see if you can find a trend...if the UAI rose a bit this year, chances are it will rise a little again this year!:p

Applied Science (Apeech Pathology) at Sydney. Aside from it being friggin hard and way too much work/hours, it is actually pretty interesting. I think i will enjoy the line of work once I'm out in the real word...

It's like the HSC...with 5 times as much work, and a LOT harder-but without the added pressures of doing well. In UNI-all you really need to do is pass (which is actually easier said that done, but so long as you pass-no one could give a fats rats crack what yur final marks were, unlike a UAI.)...

I missed the first half of LATW cos my radio reception was being an arsehole, but the second half sounded might fine! I will have to listen in again when they repeat it... I so wish I had have gone to see them when they were in sydney!!:(

Just remember that in bio, it is very important to answer questions in the correct format. (ie-describe, list, etc...) You MUST answer the correct way, or they will no doubt deduct marks! And make sure you have looked over all your pracs-that can be easy to forget to do!

It isn't too late to resurrect a grade-but at the same time, none of us can tell just fom your marks how you have actually gone. Your actual marks are meaningless-they don't matter at all. It's just your rank. Even if you fail an exam, if you're still at the top end of the class, then thats...

You really don't need much in terms of background info...you don't have time to write much on each speech in an essay (they'll make you write about 3...by the time you add a conclusion and introduction, thats around 10 mins an speech-not much!), and I think the markers are more concerned with...

Argh, I am totally drowning atm.:( We get barely any assignements, but there is stacks and STACKS of outside readings, and the mid semester exams have already begun, and over the next few weeks they are just keeping on coming! ANd cos my timetanle is so packed during the week, I keep leavign...

If you did that in a school exam, they'd probably just tell you no to do it again, and not take marks off. (or maybe take off just 1 or 2 marks) If you did it in the HSC..I doubt they'd refuse to mark it or anything extreme like that, but they probably would penalise you somehow... The lesson...

Yeah, it is kinda backwards...they award him with an oscar for portreying a truthful opinion about a controversial topic, and then when he gets up and does the exact same thing-he gets booed offstage. Um, logic?:rolleyes:

Yeah, I literally was not the least little bit nervous before my exams-not even the very first one which is supposed to be the worst. By the time the exams came along I was so sick of studying I didn't care about marks or anything-I just wanted the exams to hurry up so I could get it over with!

pfft-10% is nothing!! Don't worry about it! It will act as an incentive for you to work extra hard from now on!;)

I was a little bit like that as well...gave up completely and decided to quit school in the very early weeks of year 12. I had my sign out sheet and everything-the only reason I didn't leave was cos I didn't know how to tell my parents I was droppping out so I kept putting it off...and then the...
