Hmm, now I can do all but the top layer of a rubik's cube and I keep getting the urge to go to sydney uni. Brainwashing much?

Must be an exclusive cult... http://www.nysf.edu.au/

I'm doin' 4u eng & 4u math then physics and chem. If by full to the brim you mean 3 sciences pulling you up to 14 units then i'd call that too much (I couldn't handle that many subjects) but as I sit with 12 units i'm not too bothered. As I explained above the 4 & 4 combo isn't that bad (or so I...

I'm doing the same subects as you (4U math, 4U eng, phys & chem) and you should probably keep chem unless you've already completed an HSC course or you don't care about getting a UAI. Check out the rules and you'll see that you need to have 4 different subjects, so maybe that makes your "choice"...

I'm going for rubik's in the morning and CSI in the arvo (or 2nd pref. CSI and psych respectively).

There are good text books (like cambridge) with good hard questions which will put you on top if you can do them but if you want something that is genuinely helpful then I recommend 'Understanding Year 12 Maths' (Extension 1 [2&3 unit course]) by Dr. Max Shur. It has really good, clear...

At the moment i'm hoping to do BSc (Adv) Physics into Medicine. BSc/MBBS would be the ultimate thing to get into for me but, as you guys are probably aware, it's a nasty one to get into.

I always do work with music. Anything from rock to bluegrass, metal to Ravi Shankar. It puts me in a better mood.

I'm doing 4U and 4U and it's not quite as bad as it sounds. The math just builds on itself and don't forget that we only do 1 exam per 2 units seeing as 4U math students don't do the 2U advanced exam. The harder stuff and the real world applications like in mechanics and volumes are where it...

Because I don't need to take art to sit at a desk and paint. I enjoy it but I'm not exactly a good artist. And revising my subjects above I am now taking 4U math making them: 4U math 4U english phys chem

That is the darkest rendition of imagine that I have ever heard. The arrangement is very well done but the original optimism of that song ----> out the window.

My class is going to be studying Po-mo. The texts we've got are: -Orlando (film) dir. Sally Potter (original book by Virginia Woolf) -Possession (novel) by A.S.Byatt -Dead white males (play) by David Williamson (EDIT: I've picked up Ext. 2 and our school managed to time...

I wish I was still doing art man "I think it represents life..." 4U English 3U Math (4U if they can fit in late applicants...) Physics Chemistry

Haha, danke. I'm yet to be motivated for chemistry though ;). It's something of an impossible task to enjoy it. Damn that subject bores me like nothing else.

I Finally got the rest of them back today: Physics - 87.5% Chemistry - 79% 3U Maths - 95% English Advanced - 97% Ext. 1 English - 91% Music - 78%

If they make you stare at a wall then don't go. It's draconian. On the couple occasions that I recieved a detention my parents refused to let me attend largely due to the counter productive nature of them (as they are done at my school).

I'm currently reading: The Elegant Universe - Brian Greene & Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche

Wide reading is a huge help. If you're looking at a movement like modernism or POMO read a whole lot of descriptions and explanations until you really understand it. If nothing else, think (as silly as this may sound a lot of people just go through the motions). You can't really fake a deep...

haha, i'm especially a fan of the whole 'no exam' bit. It'll be good to have a major work and it's nice to have a subject that is creative and gets itself done early. It's also good not to have another subject that is mathematically inclined!

Hey, i'm in year 11 going into year 12 and as it stands I'm going to have 11 units (4 english, 3 math, phys, chem). I did well enough in my prelim exams to do ext. 2 math and it's quite tempting but I realise that it's quite an undertaking and would take up a lot of my time. On average, how...
