    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    Year 10 subject selection advised by staff 'Do the subjects you enjoy and are comfortable with' Follow through. Learn halfway down the track that is is bullshit as far as getting a high UAI is concerned. I took Standard, Music 1, Ancient, Drama ( big mistake not what I thought it would be...

    Advice for new Year 12's

    Give up your social life :D Nah seriously, the earlier you get into a revision study mode the better. I did'nt really put in the hard yard's untill after the trials and then it was 11/12 hours a day untill the exams. It killed me fitting it in with my shifts at work, so not recommended!

    Family's reaction to your UAI?

    My hsc marks were good; Standard english,Drama, Hospo,Ancient History, Music 1, despite this, my folks and I expected the scaling would be shit and the UAI pretty low.

    which is harder: modern or ancient history

    I regret not doing both. I only took Ancient. History was cool because it's real.Rather than the deep meaningful, analytical rambling's of some subjects, there is a right or a wrong answer, so if it's dealing with what you are interested in, you will find it easy to study. Mod tends to scale...

    HSC and Family Pressure/Expectations

    My parents havent pressured me at all, just told me to do my best and study or work at something I love doing. (Dad went to uni, studied design/arch and ended up in sales.Pays the $$'s but he hates it. If said if he had his time again, he would of been a tradey.)

    Fire Up!

    The only Brechct one that differs is:How would Brecht be staged today? Hope not like that, because the only way I can deal with Brecht is memorising my essay and allow for minor adustments to fit the brief. I have hated Brecht and his crappy tecniques from the beginning. However enjoyed the...

    How Have You Changed?

    On the plus side After the trials, I actually applied myself and studied, it took all that time. I enjoyed the social side of school and only ever did enough work to get through.Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to study 10/11 hrs a day, too much of a party animal. On the...
