    Unis turn away from single entry mark

    Yes. It's better if for courses with high drop out rates and extreme difficulty and/or high levels of demand, to have more rigorous methods of testing such as an interview, a test set by the uni(s) or another body etc. One well-known example is Medicine. I'm quite undecided on this issue of...

    Federal budget 2007-2008

    They are projections for future spending/earnings over four years and of course tax cuts come bit by bit. The government surely calculates what it has to do over the next few years rather than for the coming year.

    Are you going to keep studying after trails?

    Yes! I suggest you take a week to get your breath back 'cause I know you're totally flat out by now. Do keep revising and do continue doing practice papers but do feel more relaxed now. Within a few weeks, you should be in full swing for the big ones.

    Trials: When are they? Are you ready? How were they? (merged)

    My advice for English: You should now know the structure and main points (to expand on) for your essay You should have at least 2 quotes per essay. You should have the historical context, setting and writer's name. Don't fall for that trap where 3 essays are undone in 2 hours. (I hope no...

    Early morning Vs. Late night Studying...

    I highly recommend you avoid late-night or early-morning studying (unless your exam is weeks away then it's ok). If it is serious and you're outta time, I sugggest you do both. I suppose that if you do some the night before with time tomorrow to review what you crammed the night before...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Vote date firms as pressure mounts If this interests anyone- we have a more accurate idea of when the election will be held. I wouldn't want it to be at the same time as APEC meetings nor should it be caught up in December's Christmas shopping.

    I did hear about those 3 yanks being hired by the unions to help them campaign. The unions do seem to have lost their mind.
