^^ That's it! I did English Advanced - Area of study today... As it appears most did. Pretty easy paper really. Sections 1 and 3 were piss easy, but question 2 required some serious imagination...

95+ is my target. I need 93.10+. :)

^^ If you want to study medicine at Sydney, the best way to get in as a post-graduate is to do the B/Med Sci course. That's what I plan on doing :) Med Sci looks damn interesting to me - immunology, infectious diseases, neuroscience, physiology, anatomy & histology, biology, molecular...

Who cares about UTS anyway? ;) I'll be there on the 30th... I'll be there next year too, if all goes according to plan. Thankfully, I live 1400m away from Sydney Uni :D

Hey man :) I fucked up my HSC in 2001 - got a UAI of 69. Most people give you a patronisingly rudimentary "oh that's not bad!" Although if your result didn't get you where you wanted it, then yes, it is that bad... I'll tell you the best way to get into university... Repeat the HSC...

spin spin sugar, I was not accusing you of lying :) Just saying I found it hard to believe... The way you've worded it second time round - underestimating being the key word - makes perfect sense. Any teacher who sees a constant low quality candidature would lower their standards. We had...

I'm at Ultimo TAFE. It's not up to the teacher to guarantee marks for students, it's up to the student. I find it very difficult to believe that the teachers are deliberately limiting their students performance, which is what you're saying here. Completely the opposite of my experience. :)

Point taken Eeko. Well said natstar :) TAFE is ideal for me. I rebelled against the rules imposed on me at school... I hated uniforms, I wanted to have a cigarette at lunch without being yelled at, I wanted to take time off when I needed it and catch up on the work at my own pace...

Thanks Laz & natstar, your input is appreciated :) Have you done the HSC at TAFE? Because frankly, it looks like you have no idea what you're on about :)

First things first; Subject - Mark - Rank Adv English - 92 - 1/19 Economics - 79 - equal 1/4 Ancient History - 98 - 1/20 Modern History - 92 - 2/14 Geography - 87 - 3/12 My school is in fact TAFE, we have a lot of drop outs and a very limited number of people who are putting in...

I was first in 4 of my subjects, but now I'm first in one (English), and 2nd in 3 others (by less than 2% in each) and I've always been 3rd in Geography... :)

Thanks for your replies everyone. What you're saying Minai seems to indicate that coming 1st isn't essential, if the borderline is as small as it as in Modern & Ancient History (2-3%). It's probably worth my while doing what Laz said I guess, and getting my Geography mark up. I'm at Ultimo...

My ranks ATM: Adv English - 1st Economics - 1st Modern History - 2nd (by 3%) Ancient History - 2nd (by 2%) Geography - 2nd (by 10% I want 95+, but i'm under the assumption that my subjects scale poorly. How crucial do you think it is for me to get to rank 1 in Modern & Ancient...

Ancient history modern history economics advanced english geography :)

^^ Great minds think alike ;) heheh. What is economics like at uni?

I did this again last night. That's twice this week, and there's still the weekend for me to do it again. I hope I run out of different ways to organise things soon... :\

Many people here, and at TAFE seem to be dissatisfied with the timetable... Almost everyone I know (and lots of people here too) have 4 exams in the first week, and I don't think anyone is happy about it... :\

Ugh, I certainly don't have a favourable arrangement... 4 exams in the first week, and I still don't finish till the 12th... :)

Cleaning and reorganising my room (even when it's not necessary)... Listening to music... Doing washing... ICQ... Fiddling with my car... Going for drives to absolutely nowhere that take an hour or two anyway... Sitting at the pub, discussing meaningless drunken shit with friends or playing...

Depends on how much it matters to you. You've got every right to complain. I'd be down the teachers throat about it, if he refused to talk about it I'd go see the head english teacher, unless he is it, in which case I'd go see the deputy. Keep in mind that there is a possiblity they will...
