Call in early, like as soon as it opens - not 2 days before your exam lol, I heard thats when it will be packed. When it gets really busy apparently they limit you to 5 minutes per call as well

[Rafy]

I would call, but i have nothing to ask them.....

I have all the information i need, and any real problems i had i sought to correct with my teachers on the last week......

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

if they are teachers, does that mean they can actually give you answers? or do they give you roundabout ways of finding answers yourself? I do not mean to sound lazy, I am just talking about those things that you can't find or understand, can they give you definite answers, or concrete ones at least?

 

[sunjet]

im just going to ring and see how 'expert' these teachers are

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

how long is each phone call for? is there a limit on how much you could ask?

 

[Casmira]

Im going to ask:
- if "small circles" are going to be in general maths hsc, because one of hte solutions in success one! 2004 hsc book has it, our school text book has it, but my teacher said otherwise D:
- should i have small ideas throughought my main idea of journeys for AOS, or just 1 big ass idea i constantly relate to (i can do either)
- whats the most quickest way to kill myself since i have SDD/Chem same day

 

[sunjet]

im going to ask heaps of non-hsc questions

 

[Rafy]

im going to ask heaps of non-hsc questions

ask a tough uni level economics question....

 

[rama_v]

im going to ask heaps of non-hsc questions

lol, i was gonna call up and see if they had any modern teachers who knew anything about the UN. Sorta didnt get around to doing it though, but would have been quite funny - seriosuyl, theres not a single book available on this topic, and its in the sylabus as an option for MH lol

 

[rama_v]

how long is each phone call for? is there a limit on how much you could ask?

If you get in early I don't think theres a time limit. Our principal said that he talked to a student every day for 3 hours leading up to the HSC

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

Is there a time limit? or question limit per phone call?
