    How to pronounce 'Skrzynecki'

    ugh, white knight. Post-count is irrelevant to whether or not someone is new. And who's saying she can pronounce the name correctly? You, her and one other guy in this thread. Other people on B.O.S have said

    How to pronounce 'Skrzynecki'

All of our teachers and classes say it differently. Our teacher says "sher-ness-key". That sounds nice, and is easy to say...but it's not...

    Blade Runner?

    I used 'Blade Runner' as a related text for a 'Utopia'/Dystopian film assignment we had in EE1 a few weeks ago. Then again, that was for the preliminary year. My teacher said it was ok considering it was compulsory to do the textual form of film. Also...I just realised this thread is a year...

    Whoever's Failing General Maths or Gettin Shit Marks This is the Place 4 U

    Oh, and what actually makes General Maths difficult: The questions are always sneaky motherfuckers. The people who word them are very, very devious. I think they get off on paraphrasing their questions in ridiculous ways. READ THE QUESTION TWICE IN GEN. MATHS! There's always 1 word that could...

    Whoever's Failing General Maths or Gettin Shit Marks This is the Place 4 U

    hahahaha, I was in my year's gifted and talented maths class in years 7, 9 and 10. I was recommended to do Extension 1 Maths (we had a list) but I was like hell no, I chose general and my year 10 maths teacher got so pissed off. So basically, I bludged all of year 11...did no homework at all...

    15% of Prelim maths counting for hsc o.O

    Stupid question, but preliminary RANKINGS don't count to the hsc either, right? I'm almost 99% sure they don't. I just want to be positive that the ranking system resets at the beginning of Year 12.

    15% of Prelim maths counting for hsc o.O

    Came to post this, hahaha. Yeah, what undalay said is true. Our maths teacher told our class 15% of this year counted today. We were like...you're telling us this now? Turns out the '15%' wasn't actually a counted mark. It's just that 15% of the HSC course will require you to apply preliminary...

    2009 HSC English Texts - What are you studying?

    It was initially, but then we studied 'News from Nowhere' by William Morris. The whole class was so bored of it by the end. The only enjoyment I got out of it was from my related texts, '1984' by George Orwell and 'Blade Runner', it was compulsory to do a film for the second 'Utopia'...
