basically you have to decide which is going to be easier to conduct primary and secondary research. i was going to do a similar mobile phone topic, but because they are *relatively* new in society, there may not be many statistics available on them regarding teenagers' usage. also, don't...

no contractions either, but i guess most of you would know that... in essays, because they're formal, no contractions allowed.

Yeah, thanks for everything!!! Although i haven't even touched a SAC book yet, i think i'll be ok!! Remember guys, it's only 70% of externals... and only 2 hours!!! :) Good luck everyone, and thanks Survivor!

eat weetbix!!! have you seen the ad - funny how they've put it on tele NOW, so close to start of exams!! would it be a sin to postpone ramadan for the purpose of the HSC? i don't know much about it, so if anyone would like to enlighten me...

there's nothing wrong with setting a few goals. it's good to feel confident about these things, so i agree with you xayma. i said 81-90 because i hate pressure, but a miracle could still happen!!! my school assessment should definitely be over 90, so i'm just going to do my best and keep my...

well i'm not entirely sure if they are back yet, but i read somewhere they would be back at our schools this week... maybe i'm going loco...

i hope they also win a holiday or something because you wouldn't get to see much!! also, i loved last night's episode - they were in uruguay... what a way to practise for my Spanish exam!! except their Spanish was pretty crap, all they could say was "gracias, senor, pronto" it was annoying me!! :)

has anyone gone up to get their PIPs??? i'm going to school this arvo for some last minute encouragement for english, and i'm thinking of going to pick mine up... if it's there!!! :)

wouldn't it be better to memorise EXAMPLES, LINKS and TECHNIQUES so that when you get a question you can shape THOSE into a proper essay??? i think memorising an essay, unless you have been given the question beforehand is a waste of time and a bit risky. you don't know what they're going to...

oh ok, but i didn't mean to bag out anyone who didn't come first in a subject, either. i was referring to dux meaning "overall" hence our misunderstanding!! sorri...

the bos booklets have big lines anyway... but i can't really say, because for the trials, we had to write on normal A4 paper. i wouldn't have a clue how much i'm going to be able to write in those booklets!!! my little rave for the day!!

dux is overall, not just in one subject... i understand what you mean though, i've had that happen before - it's not nice!! :)

if you have access to a syllabus, look at all the areas the course covers. basically it's a community issue that has to be evident in the syllabus. mine was on homeschooling and its effects on child development. other examples include divorce, smoking, depression, teen image, etc. make sure...

i use excel for maths, comm/fam and society. spanish doesn't have one (or need one) and after seeing the english one, i wouldn't bother. our english teachers photocopy stuff out of them anyway. i think the only language courses that have excel guides are japanese and latin.. i'm pretty sure...

i've found over the years, people start respecting the importance of working hard and they KNOW the people who get rewarded are doing their best... i think the pressure also comes into it... being "expected" to top the grade is sometimes motivation to actually want to do it, if you get what i...

well you can still say which one you will be better at... doesn't mean it's going to be brilliantly better!

thanks!! :D i feel better now... now i can get back to worrying about something else - the HSC :(

follow the syllabus and you can't really go wrong!! multiple choice can be a bugger, but remember you're looking for the MOST correct option. there may be another one that is technically correct, but you have to deduce which one is better. :)

for me, it's BR/BNW - which is funny, since it's the one i most hated at the start of the year!! but i think it's probably the easiest for me because of the emphasis on context, there's always mention of it, and i've got it pretty much down pat.

yeah i guess ours is a basketball court too!! the PE teachers go crazy every year during the HSC - we take away the gym, the indoor basketball and volleyball courts all in one swoop!! :D gotta love it!! i think rain would dull the noise outside - we must have some of the noisiest juniors...
