HSC...Got to be a better option! (1 Viewer)

sayuru, you can wait until ur a mature-age student to goto uni if u want

your ignorance astounds me, the reason why the hsc is so stupid is that it neglects everyone who are not able to have that huge commitment that is required to do well in the hsc. mostly for reasons that are not of their own fault. i think some people have successfully blinded themsleves from the fact that more people are dropping out of school than ever before. Depression and suicide rates are extremely high in australia, especialy nsw. now im not blaming the hsc as the sole cause but it does add to the strain and has very negative effects on people suffering from such mentail illnesses.

and that shit about money and women, thats just ignorance your an idiot
the hsc does not test your intellgience, iv seen idiots do well in the hsc. you dont have to be smart or intelligent to do well in the hsc. all it does is require you to memorize and regurgitate not once do you ever get an oppurtunity to voice your own thoughts on a topic especialy in english because of the "critiria."

When did Tommy ever say the HSC was an intelligence test? It most certainly is not. It is desgined for one purpose-to assess your readiness for tertiary studies. It is meant to be stressful and put pressure on students, say for example you aim to become a surgeon. You will most definitely have to work under pressure alot of the time. The HSC is a good assessor of how you can work under pressure.

mack then whats the deal of having science courses at mid to high 80's

what pressure does a tertiary level scientists undergo? or how about a tertiary science graduate??

newton, avagadro, einstein what do they have in common? they didnt go to school and now we go to school and study them!! who hardly ever went to school... for these types of courses patience is needed in order to not rush into mistakes..eg(cloning and robotics/artificial intellingence) SCIENCE/TECH they need to be thought out pressureless in order for humans to excell.

science should either be separate eg(like not part of hsc instead like (a science school where english is optional)
or lower its uai+ and add interviews to anyone trying to get into science (we have enough terrorists and dimwitts)
