Re: best/worst attendance ??? I think I've only taken 1 day off for the past few years, and I took a week off in Year 8 because I was on crutches - but yeah, my attendance has been pretty good. Might take a few sickies next year to study though.

Yeah... that... I guess I'll prob aim for a more realistic approach for next term.

Business Studies Assessment Task - 155/155 =] Studies of Religion Assessment - 32/35 I'm pretty happy with them.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides? Guess I won't waste my time buying it - I didn't buy any study guides this year - so I won't rush and buy study guides until other people have used them and give me their opinion - don't want to waste my money buying something that's crap. Can't...

There are a lot of texts which criticise society - however I'm not sure how they would link to your prescribed texts. I remember doing Robert Gray poetry - that was pretty critical of society - e.g. society's cruelty to animals, urbanisation. Sorry, I'm not much help.

Yeah - go to the resources page. But your school should give you past prelims papers - I know my teachers give me heaps of past papers.

Hmm I might try going to the library to study after school for my prelims (still got a week left). Also I agree with the idea of studying everyday for a little - I wanted to do that this year - but I couldn't really manage - but I'll try and start next term.

Yep... heard of Truong?

Did you manage to do it?

That's what I want to be able to do as well... not sure if I can do that.

This year I've been studying only 1 hour a night.... I'm planning to study heaps more next term.

Re: School captainincy nominations Congrats Carmen and Yvonne (told you you'd make it)! I finally know the real name of ☆ :p I've also made it to prefect (didn't make it to any executive positions - but I'm still happy with prefect). We have our investiture on Friday so almost a prefect! Good...

I'm pretty sure the Independant Papers give guidelines for schools, so that they'll have to sit the exam papers (or at least give them back) at a set date - to prevent cheating.

True. Now you have to depend on your english skills and you cannot just depend on your regurgitation skills. A lot fairer in my opinion.

Re: New english syllabus for 2009 hsc?? I'm pretty sure the change won't have too much of an effect on us. Could actually benefit us - as markers generally would mark us easier (because it's the first time a cohort is sitting it).

I would not do Extension 2 Maths through correspondence. But in saying that, it might work - just enrol at one of those coaching centres - they should be able to help you quite a bit.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides? Same here. I'm thinking of getting the excel book, and I'm sure my school will give me the KISS Physics notes.

It's not a complete waste of time. I mean it's good to know about all the different universities and courses early, so it becomes easier for you to decide what you want to aim for - and if you don't care about that... you can always scab freebies. I went to the UTS/USYD Open days and I'm...

Re: best way to organise books? Call me oldschool.... but I don't like using laptops. People in my school now have laptops and use it as a substitute for pen and paper... but I don't like it!

I could use a physics tutor as well! I probably mentioned this earlier... but I go to a maths coaching centre (strict asian guy) but I'm not sure if I would benefit more from getting a private tutor.
