Marks and Studying (2 Viewers)

[Xayma]

Dont get worried about alignend marks anyway just try to get as many raw marks as possible as that is what UAC used.

Abdooooo do you have an obsession with hobbits?

and abdoooo I did do all questions on that nerd test.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

the whole thing??? what did you get? pm me if you're too shy because if you are too nerdy.

 

[Xayma]

You tell me first, it was pretty high though, but Im waiting for yours. I swear its not my fault I know pi to 10 significant figures and know what NORAD means.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

wait its gonna take me some time... whats NORAD mean? i have no idea... good sign.

 

[Xayma]

No thats not a good sign. It means I will beat you

Is general maths a bad idea?
Also, is it true that you're better-off (scaling-wise) getting 80% in general than 60% in 2U?

 

[icxdragon]

general maths=bad idea. in my opinion, any maths under ext 1=bad idea, just not worth it, because you have to learn heck of alot of stuff.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

in my mind any math under ext 2 is a bad idea, that is if math is your best 10 units.

 

[icxdragon]

nah, take 3/4 or nothing @ all. i used to say take 4 or nothing @ all, but i annoyed too many pplz wit that. hehe

 

[kimmeh]

i get annoyed with those that 3/4 and dont do jack. they piss me off and other people in the class who actually try to do their work. also it pisses me majorly because they scale you down in the end.
so if your shit, then sorry mate youre shit
do what you're good at even if that mean topping general-stick to that

oh and what if your school doesn't ALLOW you to do 3u maths? i would have done it if i was offered 3u maths, how do you think i feel when i wasn't offered 3u maths just because i wasn't in the top 15 students?

thank you kimmeh! you took the words right out of my mouth!

 

[kimmeh]

well maybe they feel that you're suited for 2 unit maths? your ebetter off doing well in that than doing really crap in ext 1. concerntrate on that then well theoretically, they cant stop you from doing ext 1 maths. Ohh btw freakstar87, did you get a call from hurlstone yet ?

 

[abdooooo!!!]

don't do general... its evil. thats all i know.

sorry to break this to you girl, but by the time you're in uni, UAIs are going to soar. for us 04ers, we'll be the worst hit because we're the first ones into uni under this "scheme". but yeah.. sorry to break it to you. but i'm sure anyone is capable of getting high 90s for UAI

 

[Ednaw]

far out, soar by how much? lol 1-2 making it 96.85 97.85??

 

[kimmeh]

well depend son every year. since the govenrment is planning to cut HECS and all.. i dont know at this stage..though most things this year have gone up so far

 

[Xayma]

well the upper ones wont be affected as much... so I really doubt 2 marks. 1 mark if your unlucky

 

[Ednaw]

oooh that sounds reallly good, i was worried for a sec there. but now i have something to aim towards, and hopefully ill get it
