    What UAI do I need to get into Medicine?

    The short answer for Med at UNSW is as high as possible. I've known people who received 100 UAI and didn't get in.

    Who wants a 100 UAI?

    ugh, no this guy didn't end up getting 100. I know this guy. He went to Syd high and then transferred into Ruse in Yr 11. He would be the type of person who would sound very annoying and cocky btw. He apparently got 99.95, but he lies a lot so he might of gotten 99.90. Who knows?

    who here has their own study guide books?

    my advice for english: don't be stingy with the study guides. If they have anything useful buy/borrow them (since there isn't much info on english anyway) for other subjects buy the macquarie guides -very very useful

    Profile - Political Views

    thanks, still find it a bit dodgy since Australia's main conservative party is called the "Liberal" party

    Profile - Political Views

    In the political view question in the user profile, where is socialism?? Surely that's a major political force?

    since you live in wollongong, i can't tutor you, but maybe it would be a good idea if you posted what modules you study

    Ask Wolfowitz - Revenge Tragedy.

    I know exactly what you mean. My English Extension texts in Year 11 were terrible - I even thought about dropping it in Year 12. But in Year 12 due to how interesting revenge tragedy is, it became by far my favourite (and best) subject at school.

    Road not taken or Journey to the interior

    if you're doing poetry for your main text, don't use another poem in the stimulus booklet - mix it up!

    Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.. that's a journey, right??

    to get high marks, try to use spohisticated ORM. If you're lazy and choose a simple pop culture text, this gives the marker a VERY bad impression. Use your ORM to be unique and stand out from the rest of the cohort.

    Visual Texts

    i think a powerpoint pres is okay - since it is predominantly a visual text. A film is a visual text, even though it contains a lot of language text (damn postmodern syllabus).

    How many Stryznecki poems, texts and related material to know in detail?

    For AOS: (take it from experience) 2 Skrzynecki poems in detail, 1 in passing (most probably to make a nice link with an ORM or Stimulus) 1-2 ORM (depending on time constraints in exam -eg, you finish the creative in 20 mins) 1 stimulus booklet text. and be sure to INTEGRATE THEM!

    Australian Students Prize NSW Criteria

    How many RELATED TEXTS do we need?

    I used two. Three texts is too much to go into sufficient depth. Markers look for depth, not quick overviews.
