Re: Distinction Courses No it's not.. Dunno why though. I mean most schools (I know mine is) would be proud to be able to have students sitting distinction courses and would encourage their students (those who are capable of course) to sit the course.

Could be accelerated. Either that or planning to do it next term.

Re: Distinction Courses We had the distinction courses in the back of our subject selection booklets - probably so the school can brag that they offer Distinction Courses (even though the Unis run it). Well technically it is a board endorsed course - just that only accelerants are chosen to...

Cool, I guess that would motivate you to keep on turning up to school.

Same here. Just replace myspace with facebook :p

Re: Distinction Courses Are they out already? My school hasn't told any of the accelerants about this. Rage.

Re: Distinction Courses From my knowledge, we apply after we've started the Year 12 course (Term 4 Year 11 that is) and they'll tell us if we've made it by the end of the Year (because my teacher said usually the school uses the results of the distinction course applicants as an indicator of...

That's what I said last year... :mad:

Don't most schools (if not all) give their student's an outline of what topics are covered for an exam?

I think we get a phone call home... but like most other schools don't really care. I think it's a Patrician thing :p

Your teacher should be the first person you ask when studying for the exam - because they should be the first person to know what's on the exam - and if they don't - they can easily find out.

That analogy is so true. Keep practicing now and keep learning from your mistakes and you should improve heaps for the HSC.

We start first week back, but we have a retreat/camp second or third week back - so that'll drag us behind a bit.

Just learn from the mistakes you've made from this test, and make sure you do not make the same mistakes again.

Wow, we don't have anything like that. Don't think the school even checks if you have perfect attendance - they mainly care about attendance on 'College Community Days' like Swimming and Athletic Carnivals.

I've got a few more days left until exams... Can't wait until the holidays ... but then I don't want term 4 to start (Maths HSC and the beginning of Year 12 for me)

Yeah, I've had times where I've lost motivation - but when i get my results back (when they're good) it motivates me to work harder. Don't worry if you go bad this year - it's better that you can identify your weaknesses and improve next year.

That post made no sense at all.

Re: What UAI/course are you aiming for? Shouldn't stop you from trying. You never know - you could get that UAI that's needed.

The school can test you on whatever you have learnt - so I'm assuming everything from Basic Algebra to Integration (not sure if Integration is a Year 11 topic - but yeah somewhere around there).
