    Impact of DET laptops

    I used them to store most of my notes because I couldn't be bothered buying books and writing on them. As well as typing out notes in class/procrastination in general I wish they bought sturdier ones though, I had to keep sending my laptop to the tech people because the edges kept coming off.

    General Thoughts: Ancient History

    Even though I came first in trials, I managed to fuck up this exam because my brain decided to have a mental blank and not remember any important information sigh. Bullshitted through Pompeii, especially with slaves and guessing the right terms for multiple choice. Periclean Athens was shit...

    HOME OR LIBARY - which is the better place to study for you?

    Libraries are filled with annoying screaming kids (at least in Strathfield anyway) and I don't want to have to walk home alone in the dark.

    HSC English and Originality

    (It might be too late to be asking this now) But how do you present 'originality' in an English essay, whilst conforming to the syllabus? How do you know when your originality 'crosses a line', where your teachers will give you in the feedback sheet that your interpretation of the text is wrong...

    Do you regret any subjects that you did?

    I never should have listened to my teacher and kept English Advanced... My marks are like a rollercoaster in that subject and it takes twice as much effort to study for English than with other subjects

    Best study tips for Preliminary & HSC course??

    BALANCE EVERYTHING. One hour for each subject, no more no less. Because you don't want to end up only studying one subject for a whole week because you're so afraid of failing the exams that you ignore everything else.

    How competitive is your cohort?

    Whilst the rest of NSW discusses studying tactics to make the most of their HSC timetable, my group discusses how to smuggle a penis cake into school for someone's 18th birthday. Most of my cohort are concerned about not failing their tests, rather than getting 1st place.

    For all the kids sitting the HSC in 2012 ..... What do you want to do next year?

    Not sure whether to pick Visual Communications or Design in Animation for UTS... My dream is to become an animator, but my parents tell me to keep my options open in case I change my mind later in life.

    Does SOR I or SOR II scale better?

    I thought scaling depended on the cohort for each year, so there's no real way of knowing. But if SORII's been consistently scaling higher every year, then I guess it's safe to say that it does.
