I'm dreading Biology.. all those phyla and phytochromes are spinning me out.
We get 65 multiple choice.. which is horrible because last year some questions had 2 answers exactly the same, some had more than one right choice and some had spelling mistakes so bad that it was unreadable...
Just got back from the Legal System and Method exam. I ended early, so spent the last 30 minutes of the exam thinking I hadn't written enough.. I hate that.
There's too much generalisation going on here..
The majority of you are fabricating reasons as to why these people took their own lives. Do you know who they are? Their names? Backgrounds? Emotional status? You can't just hear that "a person killed themselves during year 12" and immediately...
You need to know pseudo code and flowcharts, and you'll need to know some sort of programming language (VB, C++, etc.) in order to complete your major project.

However, there are also jobs like Forensic Lawyer and Forensic...
We use Criminal Laws (2001) by Brown, Farrier, Egger and McNamara.
I don't like it though.. it's 1500 pages of dribble, if you ask me. It's good for caselaw, but not good for trying to understand the basics.
