    Indochina Help: NLF,VC,VM?

    Basically the Viet Minh became the NLF. The Viet Cong was the name given to the southern Vietnamese communists which were either NLF sympathisers or NLF cells. The NLF fought more conventionally and the Viet Cong were strictly guerillas. Viet Minh/NLF = Northern communists Viet Minh = Southern...

    subject selection dilemma!!!!!!

    id do bio over senior science and legal over eco. the rest are fine. the only thing u might consider later on is dropping to general maths if the advanced course gets too hard.

    Biology VS Physics

    all of the formulas and data you'll ever need are on the formula sheet which they give to you for every assessment and exam so dont worry about that

    Accelerated Subjects? - What are they?

    you picked it: accelerated courses go faster. basically you end up doing the HSC a year early in that course. sometimes schools offer them (because it makes them look good) to students who are really good at maths or english etc. dont bother with it.

    My school work

    he's right. for all you know, your school could be hard markers. i know at my school some of the faculties deliberately mark hard to scare you into working more. and your assessments might be harder than at other schools. the important thing is your ranking.

    advice

    stress less. u need 60-65 UAI to get into uni, and if you work hard in your first year, you can transfer to just about whatever course you want anyway. a couple of months after the HSC no one will ever ask you what your UAI was again. just dont stress over it, its not worth it

    High Scaling Subjects

    guys stop worrying about scaling. of all the things u need to think about when u pick your subjects scaling is at the bottom of the list. think of it this way: if you pick a higher scaling subject over a lower one (even though u like the lower one and dislike the higher one), you're going to be...

    Should Maths be Compulsory?
