Survivor Fiji (Australian airings) Anyone know if and when S14'll be showing in Australia? It's starting in the US in a couple of days and I want to know if I should wait for it here and risk it being spoiled or just watch it on YouTube.

Do mooting this year if you can. It's 5x better than mock trial if you're interested in the law.

Iliad: there's a lot of material out there on Troy. I suggest you head over to the State Library or a uni library and search for books and articles on the topic. Odyssey: as above. Also, there's lately been a bit of research going on into which island is actually Odysseus' Ithaca. I recall a...

I understand the intention behind the halving of Science and Maths fees thing, but I don't think it'll attract more people to the disciplines, because people don't make decisions based on HECS fees. It's not as if anyone's saying "I've got the marks to study law, and I find it fascinating and...

Honeymoon result. 47% primary isn't sustainable unless the government becomes spectacularly unpopular. Rudd's numbers will probably begin to fall by April or so. It'll be up to him as to where they end up - and whether they'll fall by little enough to get him elected. (That may sound a bit...

I'd like the Rich List except for the fact that Andrew O'Keefe makes me want to commit ritual Japanese suicide. Since he already hosts DOND and Weekend Sunrise (and why the hell is a comedian/game show host anchoring a news program, for Christ's sake?), I don't know why Seven feels that he needs...

Eric and Danielle really don't deserve to be in All-Stars. Well, Eric does - the Frats were one of the most successful teams ever, even if they were also one of the most unpleasant and stupid teams ever - but Danielle was part of a below-average team and will end up dragging Eric down. Did...

Yeah, I think that's the best way to approach the question. If you do it that way then you can talk about all the different features of the imaginative journey - if this was an exam you'd want to have arguments and examples of these different features neatly categorised - instead of just about...

Nope. I got 94.50, didn't go to tutoring. A friend got 98.90, didn't go to tutoring. Two other friends got 97.50, didn't go to tutoring. Actually, almost a quarter of my grade got above 90, and I can't think of very many who went to tutoring.

86, which is down from last year but still not at all bad.

Hey, we're the top school in the Blue Mountains for another year! Take that, Korowal. :)

I suspect that the scaling everyone's talking about in this thread is actually aligning - where raw marks are adjusted to correspond with the performance bands. (I don't think you actually get to see your scaled marks - those are only used to calculate UAI.) I don't think attempting the exam...

The marks in each subject used to calculate your UAI are known as your HSC Mark. This is the average of your school assessment mark and your HSC exam mark. So yes, your assessments are included in your UAI. However, the assessment marks are massaged a bit to allow comparisons between the...

Why would Ernst and Young offer engineering cadetships? They're an accountancy firm.

Your best option is just to try to get onto the university as early as possible and see if they can work around it. If they can't, then whether you get an offer in the final round depends on what course it is - but UAC says that very few offers are made in the final round. If you can't get...

In fact, you aren't tested outside the syllabus at all, since the syllabus describes exactly what is in the course. I know a couple of people who did an arrangement very similar to yours, including those three sciences, and they coped fine. Workload doesn't really vary so much between people...

Primarily essay-writing. Each school's assessment system is different, but it focuses on essays because that's most of what's in the exam. However, the syllabus also requires a speech, a source analysis and a couple of other things as part of internal assessment. Some of those assessments also...

I loved change. Change was a million times easier than The Journey for HSC - although I ended up really liking journeys as well.

You could try calling them. Do they have an infoline or something?

70% dropped out in the first term? How did that happen?
