Hi Guys, I just want to start by saying that I'm not here to boast about my results like others do because, unlike them, I didn't get an ATAR in the 90s (though I came close, 89). I completed my HSC in 2011 and got 89 in English Standard. I spent the last year tutoring a small group of...

Out of curiosity, anyone here thinking of taking summer subjects/electives? If so, what are you thinking of doing? And does anyone know if French classes run during summer because I'd like to do another elective in Autumn, something more related to my degree.

Hi guys, would any of you happen to know where I can find the rubric for each English module, but more specifically the core texts contained in that module? I know it exists somewhere on the BOS site, my teacher gave us the rubric points for one topic before she left the school. I've had a look...

The title says it all. I'm curious to see how people went. Seems like a lot of people got 89s but surprisingly an incredible amount of people got above 90 and 95 ATARs based on calculator predictions.

Has anyone here done any bridging courses at UTS? I was just looking at it now. Few things like where it's at and when and the $300 fee if you're not enrolled in an undergraduate course at UTS blah blah blah. My question is directed at anyone who has done bridging courses at UTS. Was it really...

Say for example you get a raw mark of 80/100. What would that align to? Roughly.

Hey guys, I've noticed a lot of people posting threads on here about the extended responses in section IV and how it's their weakest area. I think it's my weakest area as well to be honest with you and I always find myself cramming case study stuff right before the exam because I "never get...

Hey guys I was just wondering if it's necessary to have a title for your creative writing piece. I know 'most' of the students at my school do. And how do you come up with a good title? Also, I begin my creative with a quote so sometimes when the stimulus is a quote I use the stimulus as my...

Do you guys know how there are success one HSC books for Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Business, etc... Yeah well do they have any for Software Design & Development? Doesn't have to be a success one book, just any book with HSC papers and SOLUTIONS. I know they have sample answers...

Was just wondering how long are our breaks in uni? And I heard you start completely new subjects every semester so subjects from the previous semester don't really overlap and stuff? I'm pretty clueless on anything uni related. But back to the main question, how long are holidays in uni? I'm...

I've heard this so many times it's not funny "you need to know your syllabus from back to front". Okay so I understand it's essential to know your syllabus, which dot point goes where and of course the content. But how do you learn your syllabus? Do you memorise your syllabus then learn the...

I'm usually stuck for techniques when I'm doing comprehension. Does anyone have a resource with techniques listed for specific text types i.e. visual literary techniques, poetic techniques, etc... Your help would be very much appreciated!

Hi guys, I don't have too many problems writing essays and creative writing but comprehension. Omg. I hate it. I lose way too many marks in that section. I can't really pick up on the important/main techniques given in the texts (even when it's right in front of me). Anyway, another problem I...

Came across this article 2 days ago, thought I'd share with you guys. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/science/21memory.html?_r=1&src=fbmain What do you guys think?

When the syllabus is updated, is it updated for all courses? Or can the board update say Course A this year, then Course B in the following year? Anyway, to my question. When was the last time the Software Design & Development syllabus updated?

I say I am tomorrow, then tomorrow...procrastination. I mean I have done a bit but not as much as I should be doing I guess. And I actually mean I've only done 'a little bit'...just making that clear for the people who are going to say "don't over do it or you'll burn out". Anyone else like...

I noticed old content missing a while ago :/ like after the site came back up. Um is it ever going to be displayed again? Also what happened to the resources? (I just noticed those missing yesterday).
