Yeah I dunno where I'm meant to post this exactly, hopefully this is alright. I've already received advice from friends about this, but I figured no harm in asking for more. I've had a DIY-assembled comp (with help of a friend) for close to six months. My graphics card, an ATI radeon 5570, is...

I understand how to use the database to find the books prescribed/recommended for each one of my courses...But is there an actual list they'd give you? I'm not sure, for example, if I should buy a recommended text in addition to the prescribed one

How helpful are 'mystart' sessions? I saw somewhere the uni recommended you attend one.

I'm enrolling in arts and was just lookin at classes. Ignoring honours courses, are there REALLY only 220 spots in all of the history courses combined for undergrad? (I counted)

Basically, in modern history I was awarded 88. I'm unhappy with this mark. If I requested a clerical recheck, would that involve my paper being remarked, or just a checking of the addition of marks awarded? Is there a way to get your paper itself remarked? Thanks.

Just wondering if there are gonna be less band 6s this year. Curious as not one out of the 60 candidates at my school got a band 6. Thoughts?

Yeah. Has it been announced yet/when do they announce it? Actually, how does this whole thing work? Do you get it based on getting into/within 5 points of your course, and is that all? =\ I'm confused

Yeah sorry if this is the wrong part of the forums, I've never really been able to place where to put these questions. Basically, I can't decide whether I should be going for a law course at a lower tier uni (it'd be macquarie) or trying and failing to get into sydney or NSW instead and hence...

How many quotes did you use?

Right, we've done appeasement this year. So I just thought I'd ask to clarify, an area of debate would be about Hitler's intentions to create the war; e.g. hitlocentric v. revisionist viewpoints etc, that's acceptable in the exam right? Because it's not directly examining appeasement, but rather...

I was wondering for people's opinions on the importance of quotes, because I've just read a b3/4 essay in 2001 which doesn't seem to have one quote for prescribed texts. Are they important?

I know they say you're not supposed to, but I intend to have a (roughly) prepared essays, or rather a list of prepared issues, to discuss in family. But say I get a non-specific question, like 'evaluate the effectiveness of law reform in achieving justice' or something along those lines. I...

hey! Two questions; 1) my related texts have nothing to do with caesar. That's acceptable, right? 2) I have an essay question along the lines of 'how is dramatic style used to represent conflicting perspectives in julius caesar'. Anyone got any advice on 'dramatic style'?

I've always had difficulty eating early in the morning (I think it's a genetic thing, but Idno). But combined with nerves from exams I get the feeling there's no hope of me keeping anything down, yet I'll still be extremely hungry during an exam, when I need to concentrate. Anyone got any tips?

I know there are threads about techniques in general, but I thought I'd ask for some techniques. The ones I have; -VGAFS- Vector Gaze Angle Frame Salience -Positioning -Juxtaposition -Pun -repetition of image (is that a technique)? -dramatic irony -posture -caricature -hyperbole...They're all...

I saw the 4u thread and thought I'd ask. So far I've done 20, 15 since trials, I'm aiming to get 25 done.

hey, I was just wondering. Some papers ask you to copy diagrams onto your answer booklet, but don't give marks for it. Are there any repercussions if you don't copy the diagrams?

hey, does anyone own this paper or know where I could get it? Thanks.

Surely I am not the only one having difficulty in finding papers to do. We did the independent trial (I THINK), and my teacher gave me some practice questions and some practice papers off a site (they weren't trial papers). Does anyone know where I could get more? Especially on the AOS

Thought I'd ask for another estimate now that I basically know my rankings, with the exception of one subject, especially since I need some motivation, been getting lazy. English Advanced: 1/60 or so Modern History: 1/20 or so History Extension: 1/10 or 15 Economics: 3rd/30ish English Extension...
