    Supplementary Texts question

    You can as long as it's not a prescribed text for that unit. Teachers generally advise you not to though because the markers know it is a prescribed text for the HSC and tend to look down on it. Even if it isn't one of your texts they would still think that you didn't really look for a...

    Study and Classwork Set-up?

    I use binders similar to how you said you do it. I had a folder which I'd take to school which I had work for the units we were doing at the time. I did that so that I could refer back to stuff. At the end of the topic I'd clear it out and put it into the binder for that subject. Some subjects...

    Removal of English as a REQUIRED subject.

    I don't like the fact that English has to be counted for your UAI because it's my worst subject and will affect my uai badly. All my other subjects I do quiet well in but english I only ever get around 50% in. I agree it is an important subject and all but it caan affect people's UAI's if they...

    Wat are the best options 4 yr 12?

    Yeah I do the common two TPS and Multimedia. TPS I didn't find terribly boring but my class is quiet small and our teacher had us design a website for our notes (which I guess held our interest) and we had a lot of discussions relating to where people worked and the TPS related stuff there...

    Calculators in the IPT exam?

    Yeah your not allowed calculators in the IPT exam. I've never come accross a question in an IPT paper that actually asked you to calculate anything. I've had a couple of one's where they asked how many kb's are used but they just ask for the working not the answer. They just want to know you...

    is paper 1 marked by standard/adv/etc

    Yep it's marked the same regardless of the course you do. We were told the exam procedures and stuff a couple of weeks ago and here is what I gather happens with english. You all go into the exam room in alphabetical order as a year group not split into classes (standard, advanced etc.) and...

    RAW related texts

    There was a really good article in the Sydney Morning Hearld a while ago called Freedom in a Prison with boundaries but no wall. It's like a real RAW situation so the parallels are really good. I'll try to find it for you.

    Dividing up Ancient History

    Oh yeah I heard about that change to Pompeii it sounds really boring to me. Thank goodness I'm not doing it. Plus we did some stuff on it in yr 11. Yeah I don't think we need a mod here cos there ain't a lot of people on here in comparison to others. Gems

    IPT sukd ay!! i hated it..

    I reckon IPTs a pretty easy subject. I don't do much work on it and still do pretty well. Though there are only 7 in my class. I never did computers before I did IPT so it can't be too bad. Gems

    Speaking Exam

    I have a question regarding misadventures in the speaking exam as it seems I may need to do one. I'm not starting a new thread for it cos it's about the speaking exam and were all discussing that here. So yeah anyway. Every now and then I get these awful sore throats. It's usually either...
