    BOS Showcase: 2005 Major Works

    I think given the recent calamity that has been existing in this thread, that it would be most appropriate to show appreciation to the mods who have helped clean it up and curtail certain persons. Thanks Jhakka and Bubz!:)

    BOS Showcase: 2005 Major Works

    To Airness/Dreamerish - I've downloaded your story and I'm gonna go through it with a fine tooth comb on friday afternoon when my trials finish.:D I've also been giving brief glances at most of the works and may I say that so many of them are breathtaking - when I started the course, I looked...

    HSC Distinction Courses

    There are no prerequisites other than acceleration and reccomendation - you don't need to do maths at all if you want to do cosmology - though I'd think you'd be in an extremely tough spot. I don't think the specific score thing is correct(I might be wrong though...its been a while since I...

    China Mieville - have *you* read him?

    Essentially this thread is a discussion of his work and whether anyone's read it. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a link to an excerpt: http://www.fantasticmetropolis.com/show.html?fn,tain,1

    what to do

    It is never too late to try, I won't lie to you and say there is no effort involved but it is more than possible to excell in this subject - especially since you would have no more assessments coming up and you could just practice and practice till you get where you want to be. So don't give up...

    anyone know of any unis offering extra UAI points???

    UOW offers a "bonus point" scheme if you attended a school relatively near the uni for your HSC, and UWS offers the RET scheme which is *sort* of like what you are aking about - though you might be a bit late to apply for it.

    Timmy's "Studying for Chemisty" is basically crap/wrong

    I...don't understand. Why on earth would anyone think that no study is good? :confused:

    The Greatest Book Ever Written

    If one author has invented many conventions that others use, then good on him, but that has got nothing to do with how well he used those conventions in comparison with another author. Which is exactly what the point was - myself and Argonaut view other author's as having accomplished this more...

    The Greatest Book Ever Written

    sarevok, the flaw in your argument is that you seem to equate being older or more borrowed from as a better text, and fail to acknowledge that any writer's text may exceed one that it may have drawn inspiration from - and this simply isn't true. Tolkien may have fashioned a great text but he has...

    Ext Maths - Should i drop?

    1. And you know this how? 2. CSSA is well known to be one of the harder math trials, you also must look at the facts that your HSC gets fiddled with but your trial results are raw, and you have more breathing space in the HSC than trials, so that means your HSC score will be higher than this...

    Ext Maths - Should i drop?

    No. Just wing it if you have to but there isn't any point in dropping it now. Stress from trials>stress from HSC, so yoou've done the hardest part anyway. And as for your dropping question, you can drop at any moment before the last second before the Ext 1 exam.

    Late Round Offers & Alternative Pathways

    There aren't any other past papers I can give you, sorry, but in truth you shouldn't really need them since the STAT/RET is designed to test your cognitive and reasoning skills not study or assumed knowledge - everything you need to know will be there when you take the test. Just make sure you...

    Drop out?

    I agree with Sweets, at least sit it even if you don't prepare for it - or at least sit a couple of exams this year. You don't want to be caught out with this load again next year if you go back to HSC, make this year mean *something*.

    Drop out?

    You do that and I will kidnap you and drop you into container filled with nothing but Journeys booklets. Seriously though, think about it - there is only a little bit of time left, you don't want to drop out of the HSC now. Think of all the time and effort you have put in! So a definite *NO*...

    Post-EE2 plans?

    There are HSC exams, I'm gonna return to the gym, start going to movies, reading all these books of mine, teach myself another language, maybe enroll in AMEB drama, teach myself how to write poetry properly, do some research into history, and probably go clubbing, oh, and get my P plates...

    I thought crazyhomo was a girl? :confused: And crazyhomo, may I ask what course you are doing at uni and did you do EE2? As you seem to critique everyone's work quite well each year.
