Mine is. I seem to remember a certain guy repeatedly playing the "Mosquito Frequency" up loud on their mobile phone and a girl was listening to her iPod, earphones hidden in her hair. This was in the Preliminary Yearlies! After getting over those incidences, for the most part my school is OK.

I'm sorry? Your what? Ah-h-h I'm sorry please don't neg-rep me :(. Back on topic: while I believe it's perfectly sensible and OK to use "I" and "me" in pretty much any essay that we're doing in Advanced English, unless you're really confident it's probably a good idea to not use it. The main...

I would argue AGAINST pre-preparing essays, but as moshi.bum rightly said, it could strengthen an essay to include an argument based on it. That said, just answer the question. The syllabus asks you to be prepared for that (and you should) but if the question doesn't ask for it, you don't have...

I really need to check for replies more often. What I think I meant was that such an idea was intolerable in a play at that time; we just choose to see it that way because of the way the story is so conveniently open to such an interpretation. If you read the script without any knowledge of such...

Why on Earth does every school have one of these pages except for Mechanical? That's it, I'm going to UNSW (jokes)

Of course. However, the main reason my school's rank is so low is because the vast majority of my school (to put it bluntly) are really bad. If not for our Mathematics and Science departments (teachers and students), we'd likely be down in the 400s. Thanks for the confidence booster, everyone...

Hey, I thought it'd be a good idea to get some 15 year olds to pull figures out of their asses for my ATAR, so here I am! Ranks: Advanced English: 6/44 Mathematics Ext.2: 1/10 Mathematics Ext.1: 2/20 Chemistry: 1/37 Physics: 2/35 School rank is ~250. Our highest achiever tends to get ~98 to...

Holy crap! That page is incredibly useful, although I'm (at the current time) interested in mechanical or mechatronic engineering. I haven't been able to find anything similar on the mechanical engineering section of the website, so if such a page exists there I would appreciate help finding it...

Hello there, everyone from USyd. I'm a Year 12 student considering studying with you all next year. It's pretty difficult to find out some certain information about USyd without a student login, so I thought I'd ask it here and see if anyone could help me out. I'm hoping to to engineering along...

And how exactly is that a valid reason...? Just joking, I'm more clueless than you are.

I'm not sure if you realise this, but the UAI/ATAR cutoff listed in the book is from the previous year. Just because the cutoff for degree X was 90 in one year doesn't mean it'll be 90 in the year you receive your ATAR. If a lot more students apply that year, it may become 99 instead, or if a...

Having come within two weeks of my trials and realised that I still haven't satisfactorily learned Conics (fell behind during the year so skipped ahead so I could keep up to date with class work), I now realise that if I was in the exam right now I would not be able to derive many of the...

I know this is a bit late, but I've got a little bit to add that may help. What I would like to point out here is that the play didn't openly criticise the Church or the monarchy - if this was the case the play certainly wouldn't have been allowed, especially since those from the Church and...

Why not cheerios?

I've seen the story in the OP posted around on the *chans (4chan, 7chan, 420chan, etc; retarded imageboards perfect for people like me) once or twice, though I saw the story that I posted more often. Copying and pasting: "Lindsay was 12 when it first started." (including inverted commas) into...

Yeah, I'm quite surprised someone wrote such an awesome story about doing it with cheerios.

I've seen another story posted on the *chans a few times involving cheerios. It was longer than this, and it involved a guy doing it with cheerios. It really got me laughing. One sec, lemme see if I can find it... 5 minutes later: Its pretty long, I can't believe I read the whole thing. Sorry...

Agreed. If you got it at the start of year 11 I think its worth putting in the extra time for a more perfect understanding of the topics, but doing it now will be counter-productive compared to doing past papers. If you want to revise the topics, my recommendation (of course, having not done...

I think OP is a troll. Not sure, though. If OP is serious, well to be honest it doesn't matter how old you are. Age barely affects intelligence after the age of 14 (or even younger, that's just my guess) and I think I heard that you actually lose intelligence as you get older. If you're talking...

To tell the truth, I ended up not using the Year 11 3U book and ended up using Fitzpatrick instead. If I had the time, I would go through it, but I might end up using it for revision later on. The book contains mostly 2U topics, however in almost EVERY chapter they take the questions up to a 3U...
