Our supervisors were really great. The one in charge was very professional and wasn't like some of the ones I've had at various tests who clearly didn't have a clue what the procedure with booklets was. We started a few minutes late because they got us to do our blue slips before the exam, then...

The point isn't to educate you about journeys. It's to develop transferable skills like critical analysis and depth of thinking, as well as to improve your writing and speaking generally.

I'd pick it. I find it pretty interesting.

Our examiner told us we were allowed to, and he both seemed very competent and had the Board's guide for examiners right in front of him. I don't see any harm in taking it, anyway. Not as if anyone hasn't done the paper once we finish.

Neither. Apart from a journey through a paddock. And I don't think that counts. Maybe I could have talked about how the paddock symbolised his loneliness. Actually, on second thoughts, that's exactly what I talked about. God dammit. I interpreted the third stanza as showing that the ordinary...

I can give you Sections II and III, but I couldn't be stuffed scanning in the unseen texts from Section I. Too tired. Section II: 'He told me one last story. He used his aged, ruined voice like an old man's hands to pick the lock on his past ...' Use this extract as the opening for a piece of...

Isn't the fact that the story repeatedly referred to Sheridan with 'he' and 'him' a bit of a giveaway?

Isn't that the same for all subjects?

Well, inner journeys is by far the least popular focus area. Don't know why - maybe it's because the prescribed texts are a bit more obscure than for physical or imaginative.

I thought physical looked a lot worse than the other two. What the hell is the interpretation of the new? At our school Standard does physical and Advanced does imaginative, so Standard had the much harder job. Luckily, I do imaginative, which was nice and easy.

I headed out sort of against the question (Imaginative Journeys). I said that each journey is different and that they all include different elements - some include speculation, some include transformation, some include fantasy. So some journeys include speculation, some don't - hence...

If you didn't include the extract at all or didn't attach it in a relevant way, you'll be marked down, but you won't get zero. I guess. Don't quote me on that.

The first text was sort of strange but doable - I thought the first question (the one mark) was easier than normal, as it essentially just asked you to pull something straight out of the quote. The second text: hell. I don't even know how that was a journey. Further, I don't see how the hell...

Section I was good, apart from the second text (the story), which in my opinion was not a journey, nor was the landscape significant to it at all (landscape being the 3-mark question for it). Section II was pretty good - I had to restructure my prepared story to fit the opening they gave us but...

I'm considering doing this course (the all-new! version, not the old one that just involved having to do a few 'advanced' courses), which now seems to involve a normal BA (Hons) but with the first year chopped off. I'm planning to do subjects around and about Ancient History, History...

The school hasn't actually added our proposal onto it and weighted it all properly yet, but by my calculation I'll come to 37/40, which I'm pleased with. Probably 2nd or 3rd in the year.

We're also doing Churchill. (I hate it with a passion.)

Bad stuff - binomial theorem (because I didn't actually work at all when we were doing it), 3U motion, bits of integration. Good stuff - perms and combs (why does everyone find it so hard? I really love it), polynomials, parabolas, circle geometry.

If you choose to pay your HECS student contribution upfront, the years in which you study Arts and Law will be roughly $5700 a year (3/4 full-time Arts contribution + 1/4 full-time Law contribution). For the final two years, in which you only study Law, it's the whole full-time Law contribution...
