Just like to disagree with Ekman and everybody else (pretty sure a good chunk of the majority) who thinks English is a purely subjective subject. Tbh, it really isn't. If you look at the exemplar essay/ creative writing, you'll note that they all have more or less the same type of 'good' writing...

LOL sorry if someone's mentioned this earlier, couldn't be bothered to read through all the posts cos (ironically) I've got maths HW to do. No, not because I love it (being the lazy person I am, I feel the subject takes too much work lol) but I reckon it's probably one of the better courses to...

However many to complete a reasonable amount of homework/ work so that you're not falling behind. For me personally, I absorb most of the stuff I need in class so I rarely do any homework/ studying at home. It also depends on your commitments outside school. It really depends on the individual...

How...?

Or feebly attempt to catch up on the 2 weeks of holiday homework/study you should have done. derp.

So you mean I've done everything wrong in my holidays ..? :P

+ 1 to both. Private is good only if you can find someone good. IMO it's a bit hard, especially for someone at a reasonable price. Obviously you'll get more support with private, but I find that you sort of risk having them just watch you do your homework sometimes. It's a bit pointless that...

Dr Du isn't the only tutoring college around. But is it the only one you're considering?

Could you explain how you got to that? Is it by taking cases: no vowels, 1 vowel, 2 vowel?

Thanks again VBN :) Am I using the principles right in the following Q: How many different selections of four letters may be made from the word WEDNESDAYS and in how many ways can they then be arranged in a row? $Number of selections: $ \frac{10P_4}{2!2!2!} Ans: 83 which is a far cry from...

Thanks VBN :) How does factorial fit into the mix?

But why would it be P and not C?

Ohh- I geddit it now :) :) Thank you!

The ratio of the number of combinations of (2n+2) different objects taken n at a time to the number of combinations of (2n-2) different objects taken n at a time is 99:7. Find the value of n. Ans: N= 5 How do I approach these type of questions? And when do I use factorial, perms or combs? I'm...

Sweet :) Brings to mind another question though- what are some relevant skills to the job?

I see, approximately how well do you guys reckon they're looking for? Guesstimates will be very helpful :D Relevancy as in how relevant or close it is to the role. i.e leadership (e.g Prefect) vs. black belt in Taekwondo. I think, from snooping around the web and careers adviser (ha ha)...

Just reported someone accidentally cos I missed the rep button //facepalm

Yep, thanks! :) I suppose a better way to have reword it was; "I don't know my chances of getting in." haha, I was always set on applying. Would I be correct to assume that at this point there will be no real requirements for relevancy in ECs? Also, in terms of academics, what is the range...

The questions might seem a bit specific, but I honestly don't know what kind of person they're looking for, and whether I fit their requirements haha. In terms of ECs, are they looking for anything in particular? i.e leadership, volunteering, creative or..?

What do you guys reckon is the number one characteristic they look for for in a cadet? And what do you think they'll find 'impressive' on a CV? Plenty of extracurricular or academic merit? Also, any tips on applications? c:
