    Think a 95+ UAI is out of the question?

    So what marks would I be needing? 85+ in everything? I think I can do that. By the way, I'm doing pathways. Basically I'm doing 8 units this year and 7 the next because I was accellerated a few years earlier in my school life. That way I'll be 14 when I graduate. I only put Ancient History in...

    Think a 95+ UAI is out of the question?

    I've kinda been lazy for the first half of the year 12 course averaging about 75-80% in all my subjects. Given my last assessment marks were: Business Studies: 80% Maths 2 Unit: 87% English Advanced: 87% English Extension 1: 80% English Extension 2: waiting for report mark back - estimate 80+...

    Could someone read over my essay?

    Thanks, my teacher marked it and gave me 21/25, I'm gonna aim for 23-24 for my next one I give her (Ext 1 is my last trial exam). She did point out a few things, I was describing the context of The Big Sleep and I said Post World War One era, that was supposed to be two. =P I was pretty proud...

    MQ or UWS

    Thanks, transport was the major issue between unis. As for being too young, well sometimes I've thought of slowing down, but I've dismissed the idea. Whether or not I can cope with Uni I'll find out in a few years, but I'd really like you use my time efficiently, get a few years headstart or...

    MQ or UWS

    Thanks alot. Yeah I'm looking at combining it with arts (most likely). I'm pretty sure I can get the UAI, well at least I'm confident. Yeah, lets put it that way. Yeah, it's just Macquarie is at epping right? That's a fair bit harder to get to than Parramatta. I'm in Blacktown. Also, I was...

    Could someone read over my essay?

    OKay, thanks. I meant more about my technique, structure and content instead of technicalities about the name and setting of my text but that's useful.

    MQ or UWS

    I'm in year 12, graduating next year (I'm doing pathways because I'm younger) and was wondering whether (if my UAI is high enough) I should forgoe the fact that UWS is closer to go to Macquarie University. My careers adviser said that, but I was hoping to get some advice from people that...

    Could someone read over my essay?

    I was just wondering if someone could read over a practice essay I have finished. It would be really helpful, and any criticism, no matter how harsh (as long as it's constructive) would be great. The essay is attached. Thank you. =D Quite a few sentences are straight out of my notes, but I...

    Religious affiliation

    Interesting. I'm a christian, I go to a christian school, so it's quite good to feel that everyone else most likely shares your faith. I thought the coptic language was more of a greek script, oh, but the ptolemies. Oh well, I digress.

    Assessment: Report

    I'm quite irritated, mine is due on friday. Even though I kind of have an idea of what to do, I won't be able to run it by my teacher because she won't be here this week (and wasn't here the last two weeks of term 2). In fact, I didn't even find out about the thing until yesterday. Oh well, it...

    16 Year olds doing the HSC

    I'm 13 doing year 12. I got accelerated when I was in year 2, to year 6. I'm doing pathways though, 8 units this year, 7 the next. Mainly cos the school thinks I'll have a better chance at uni when I'm 14 then 13. This year I'm doing 4 Unit English, 2 Unit Maths and Business Studies. Next year...

    HSC Assessments- Thoughts/Results

    I just got a few results back: Maths 2U - 87.5% (35/40) Equal 1st/17 Pretty happy with that, considering I got full marks for question 1-6, and only 2/7 for question 7. It was really strange, I'd never seen it before and I didn't know how to go about it. English Extension 1 - 80% (8/10) Don't...

    Graphing trig functions

    See I'm fine graphic trig functions like y=sinx or y=cosx or even y=3cosx but when you get stuff like y=3sin(x-pi/2) It's kinda urgent, cos I have a test tommorow and my teacher didn't explain it too well. If you have pi/2 in the brackets, with a minus, that means that you move the graph of...

    Course I'm thinking of doing

    I thought of being a teacher at a uni somewhere, but I don't think that's what I'd like to do. Oh well, I guess I'll find out.
