I'm set on doing a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) regardless of which University I will go to. However, my local university doesn't offer the specific major that I would like to undertake study in - Immunology, and has very limited majors. If I was to go to my local Uni, I would be majoring in...

Is it wiser to memorise it and then attempt past papers? Or do an open-book test with past papers? Thanks

Is it recommended that I study/memorise quotes from each of these speeches? Or will going into the examination with maybe 4 prepared be better? I have not written notes on any of the speeches set for study yet, and was just wondering if I would survive if I didn't prepare all of them. Thank you.

Whenever I write an essay for any humanities (English, Modern History etc) I always get comments from the teachers advising that I attempt to sound more sophisticated in my response. I've always gotten the comment that my essays are too simplistic in word choice etc, and I was just wondering...

For your AOS Belonging, how many related texts should you/is it ideal to have prepared? My teacher said four-five, but I'm not sure if that is excessive. Would it be disadvantageous to go in with a mere two texts for belonging/modules? Thanks. Help is appreciated :)

Hey everyone, how did you all go for your Languages Oral? Was it easier than expected? Worse? Did they ask the questions you expected them to? I just finished my Japanese Oral today. Glad to get 20% of my HSC out of the way, but it was more difficult that I was prepared for. The questions asked...

I've been contemplating doing that degree and double majoring in Psychology and Biological Sciences. It seems quite interesting, but the pessimist of me is worried that the degree is useless, and I won't have any future job prospects. Psychology is a pretty competitive field, and there isn't...

For English, we're doing the History and Memory elective and our prescribed text is True History of the Kelly Gang... I'm not quite sure what exactly representation and text entails, nor what I have to cover in my essay. The syllabus criteria says to explain relationships between texts, explain...

I hate the dreaded question "What do you want to do in Uni?". I assume most people, by now, would have decided on their future endeavors and what course they will study in University etc, but is there anyone here who is still undecided? I know what subjects I like (Biology and Japanese), but I...

Hello. I was just wondering if there was a certain date that you had to appeal by? And has anyone already appealed? If so, what for? I am contemplating appealing for anxiety and stress, as I get really nauseous during the examinations and I have panic attacks. I'm not sure if my appeal would be...

Hello fellow BOS'ers. Recently I was issued with the task of historical investigation for Modern History and I've finally decided on my focus questions and complementing sub questions. But the thing is; I've tried to write my final draft and then suddenly had an epiphany. I don't have any...

Hello BOS'ers. I've been facing a bit of strife over my English Assessment task which is nearing. We're studying Shakespearean comedies, and in particular focusing on the play "Much Ado About Nothing" ... which is practically nonsensical. But in our in class assessment we have to write about...

Herro fellow BOS'ers~ I have a predicament on my hands! >_> Okay, so I'm doing an assignment and we were asked to calculate the energy expenditure involved in the extraction of aluminium from its ore and I'm so confused D: I've done some research and have figured out that there is approx. 350...

Hello :) Okay, so I do Japanese Continuers as one of my subjects. Tomorrow we have our half yearlies and one of the tasks is to write a letter in polite form, emulating an actual letter to a potential host family. (Don't ask why we get told our long response questions...Our teacher is fond of...

I've had an epiphany. I realised in these holidays that I really haven't been able to grasp any of the subjects thoroughly. It's really worrying me when I open up a textbook, and everything is incomprehensible. Or when I refer to the syllabus dot points during study and none of it is...

Tomorrow I have an in class essay on Change. I'm finding it really stressful as I need to write about 2 texts, one related, and one visual related text in 45 minutes. I mean, it's plausible, but I find the essay to be very brief and not powerful. Anyone know how to overcome this? D: I write...

Hello BOS'ers ! ^___^ So if you're not mathematically oriented, and thats not a field where you excel, how do you become more competent? I'm not all that great at remembering concepts, nor applying them, so I just wanted to know how you got better, and were you always an achiever in Mathematics...

So my school provides us all with a Maths in Focus textbook but I have been informed that it is a crappy textbook. I also find the textbook quite easy, and I am really bad at Maths. Is it worth it to go out and purchase another textbook? Or is Maths in Focus really not that mediocre? Thankssss!
