    NSW to dump UAI! New Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

    Re: NSW to dump UAI! I don't think that will be necessarily true. If the cohort in NT and Tasmania, at the moment, are weaker then overall the scores SHOULD be lower than the scores in NSW/Victoria. If anything, this could increase bragging rights because now someone who gets 99.95 could say...

    Diploma of Languages

    Probably :P. In hindsight, it does seem like a ridiculous suggestion but I'd like to suss out all my options first. Thanks for reply again. I'd definitely want to keep Comm though, it's just something I want to do. Not so sure about law... I rang up my German teacher cause I reckon he would...

    Diploma of Languages

    Cheers for the reply :D. Sorry for the confusing post, I just read it over and I don't make much sense. I want to do Comm/Law at USYD but the timetable for it is pretty much preset and doesn't allow for any substantial study outside the Business and Law faculties. However, I really want to...

    Diploma of Languages

    Sorry to bump, but in regards to Diploma and Certificates. What's the difference? I read the site and is it only that you have to study less credit points for a Certificate than a Diploma? I'm in Year 12 atm, and thinking of doing a diploma next year at Macq or USYD cause I can't fit it...

    All you want to know about the Educational Access Scheme (EAS).

    Re: does anyone know about EAS?? At the OP, you'll definitely be elgible. Have you been talking to your school counsellor or someone with credenitals (year advisor, head teachers etc)? You'll need them to be a witness to act as "proof" for your claim. Good luck.

    Advice for non-Frenchperson doing French?!?!

    Not true. Most languages are actually quite poor scalers compared to many of the more popular subjects such as chem, phys even economics. Above 98, 99 then it's a different story as most the scaling gap between subject closes. But to answer the OP definitely encourage your sister to continue...

    Deutsch extension?

    True, it's just doing Extension via corerspondance is much more difficult, I find, than doing Continuers. There seems to be too much content to cover without the presence of an actual teacher. I get very little "contact hours" with my teacher and it makes it doubly difficult.

    Deutsch extension?

    I think I'm going to drop. The amoun of work/effort needed is waaaaay too disproportionate for one unit. I know it's extension and it is fun but at this point in time, 2 writing tasks a week for Extension alone vs one writing task every two weeks for Cont. seems crazy.

    Deutsch extension?

    I'm having a lot of trouble at the moment with the new course. My main problem is the German writing bits. I don't really understand what is expected, how much detail. Are we suppsoed to write like we do in English? With like all the analytical techniques and crap or are we just meant to write...

    How to get to mcq by train??

    So they say, last I heard of it it was scheduled to open late March but I read an article in the local Times paper a couple of weeks ago, saying the line would once again be delayed. Alternative to Epping Train to Eastwood, then take the 545 or 550 to Macquarie Uni. I think it's $1.80 one way.

    History MC

    Wrong. Exactly! The whole question was testing you whether you knew and understood the split in the Labor Party. The DLP split from the Labor party because the felt the Labor Party was becoming too pro-communist.

    Does anyone know the title?

    All of today I've been trying to remember, googling the name of this novel but to no avail, so I was asking if anyone knew it. It's about this young girl who goes to ballet school, has a disjointed relationship with her mother. They don't like each other, I think her father died when she was...

    General Thoughts: German Continuers

    Unfortunately, that's false :(. German scales badly (don't get me wrong I'm doing Continuers + Extension for year 12). I absolutely love doing German and I want to do it in uni but the scaling really pisses me off. Doesn't realistically reflect the effort needed. Last year, a 91 went down to 79...
