That's a real shame. If I'd known the cut-offs would drop so considerably this year, maybe I would have applied for the Journalism course and tried to transfer internally to the double degree after my first year. Oh well, my offer to Social Inquiry/International Studies still gives me something...

Ooh hey Anne! Congrats on topping IPT, as if there was ever a doubt it would be you x) Umm for next year I'm hoping to get into Communications (Social Inquiry)/International Studies at UTS, but I got 0.65 below last year's cut-off so I'm just hoping I'll get lucky and manage to scrape through...

So, what's everyone's top 3 course preferences? Mine are: 1. Communications (Media Arts and Production)/International Studies @ UTS 2. Communications (Public Communication)/International Studies @ UTS 3. International Studies @ UNSW Would I be right in saying that the science courses are...

Sweet baby Jesus, the horror.

Hey it's Cyrille :)=) Got 91.40, probably directly proportional to the amount of study I did this year (very very little). How'd you go? (And btw who's this? ^^")

I'm in the same boat, my ATAR gets me .4 above the 96 required for International Studies at UNSW with bonus points. Fingers crossed we both get in on second round offers. =)

Sweet. Also, I just found out how much of a godsend bonus points can be. =D

LOL same here. Except I guess I deserved that reaction since I pretty much did shit all the second half of the year and now have a 91.40 to show for it. =___=

What are the chances of getting into a Communications/International Studies course at UTS with an ATAR 0.65 below last year's cut-off? I'm really hoping I can scrape through as I have heard stories of people getting into courses despite being a few points below the cut-off, but as to what...

Damn, STGGHS moved down 6 places this year. This is the lowest ranking we've had since I can remember. Can't say I'm surprised but still...the powers that be are not going to like this. x)

Oh God. I did French Extension and still only got 91.40, which means I must have done HORRIBLY. D= ...Well, horribly considering my prediction was 93.30 and I needed around a 92 to get into my first preference. Here's hoping the fates will give me a break already and knock down that cut-off a...

I agree, the syntax can be a pain especially when you're sitting in a speaking skills exam wondering how in the world you say something like "I did not give it to her."

I'm doing my mid-HSC exams at the moment, and for the Advanced English test we were allowed to take 6 pages, front and back, of notes into our exams with us. For English Extension we're allowed to take 3 pages front and back. If typed, minimum font is 12. Has this always been the case for...

I wish I could fast-forward 2 weeks into the future, where I'll be letting my hair down at the school dance, looking forward to attending Lady Gaga's concert and finally getting time to work on something I enjoy, i.e. history extension project. :D

From most liked to least liked: 1. Modern History 2. Extension History 3. Ancient History 4. English Advanced 5. English Extension 1 6. French Extension 7. French Continuers Although I like all my subjects, French is a bit of a drag purely because of our teacher. =/ Same with Extension 1.

Try listening to people speaking French, like interviews of French celebrities on Youtube, people getting interviewed in the French news or the dialogue of French films. People's intonation may get a bit more artificial or theatrical since they're presenting on camera, but at least it will help...

I quite enjoyed reading Fiftieth Gate, and I don't find its concepts all that complicated...but that might just be a result of my teacher's excellent tutelage.^^ Basically the Fiftieth Gate refers to this concept of Jewish mysticism, whereby there are 49 gates separating "good from evil...

What did I have to rebel against? The fact that my parents would practically have let me get away with murder? x) Come to think of it...I was a pretty un-rebellious child. Maybe my parents staged some sort of reverse-psychology conspiracy on me. O__o

I'm doing my mid-year exams in 2 days, and I feel as if I'm running out of time to really step my game up and achieve some major improvement. D=

My mid-year exam schedule for the next 2 weeks: Mon: English Advanced - Fiftieth Gate, Belonging, History & Memory Wed: Modern History - WW1, Weimar Republic, Rise of Nazism Thurs: English Extension - Romanticism, Coleridge Fri: Extension French Speaking - Environment speech Mon...
