hey I've been assigned a speech on into the world and our selected text is The Story of Tom Brennan and my related text is the sorry speech by Kevin Rudd but yet i dont really understand this concept of into the world.
Could someone please explain the rubric and give me some suggestions on how to throw all this together?
thanks taunoa

^^^^How can you get jetlag flying to Adelaide?

I don't think the fatigue from a plane flight to Adelaide will get you any allowance.

I've travelled a lot and the only time I've gotten bonafide jetlag is going to London cause the time was like 11 hours different so it really tripped me out coming back hah.

im coming back very late tuesday night, and paper 2 is on wednesday morning. so youre right, not really jetlagged, but more emotionally unstable and tired. i have to sit 2 interviews that will basically decide whether or not my mums making me repeat year 12. and come on, you have to admit it: having to fly somewhere and back between the 3 english exams is not everyone's ideal hsc plan. especially this year, when BOS is kind enough to let us have a day gap between paper 1 and 2.

beside its not like im not sitting the actual hsc exam, just want to secure my ranking.

What is her justification?

if i dnt get into dentistry undergrad, then mum'd much rather me redo yr 12 and umat etc than start a degree then do post grad. beside uni fee is too expensive (60k a year) whereas yr 12 private school is only half that amount.

Are you an international student?

Also, very few Universities offer Dentistry Undergrad.

And then what do you do if you don't meet the requirements for a second time?

There's more to life than dentistry you know.

 

[_zhangstaa]

yeah i am. and yup i know. adelaide is the way to go, uq only has 20 places and im pretty sure that's basically all i can choose from.

 

[_zhangstaa]

if not then ill go with bachelor of education, and the post grad dent. i know theres more life to dent, but its what i want. just not repeating yr 12 though

 

[kevin321]

I got a question, how are your final marks determined for a subject
Is the actual hsc worth 50%?
Say I come first in a subject with an avg of 90% but I absolutely screw up hsc and get 70, will I take the first mark of my cohort or am i stuck with my 70

 

[Shadowdude]

You're stuck with your 70 as your external mark. And if 70 is the highest mark that anyone gets in your entire class in the HSC, your final HSC mark is 70.

 

[Zeroes]

What about taking a gap year and redoing the umat? Surely anything is better than doing year 12 again. If you're going to a private school and going to be paying anyway, you might as well go to uni and pay to learn something new, rather than just redoing the same old stuff. Also I don't think uni is 60k a year, especially not with HECS...
