Prelim: Terrorism, Indochina Conflict (urgh), WWI HSC: Nazi Germany, Leni Riefenstahl, Vietnam War I was so looking forward to modern this year, but some of the choices my teacher has made is deterring me from the subject. I wish we could've done other things besides Indochina and Vietnam. I've...

Hmm, mixed feelings about going back. Excited because this year and the next will be totally different to previous years, especially in that we actually get to do subjects we're relatively interested in. Then again, having to adapt to the changes and learning to cope with more workload and...

I tend to speak my notes after I've written them for that reason. Either I talk to myself about them, or I annoy someone else, lol. The point is, it really is an effective way to understand concepts. You're trying to explain it to yourself, and if you do employ this way of studying, don't just...

I haven't really studied either. My tutors started on some prelim content last year, so I'm not too worried about coming into year 11 with absolutely no clue at all. I've also been doing some reading, although admittedly, very light. But because it's almost a week until we start school again, I...

Novak has always gotten on my nerves.. probably because he won instead of Fed, haha. He's a funny guy but I don't know, he kind of rubs me the wrong way. Federer, on the other hand, is brilliant :D

Me too!! But I'm always rooting for Federer. I'm still sore over the drop in ranking. Mm, yeah, Novak won, the arrogant little thing..

Same here, lol.

I really admire your dedication! I might take something from that too now.

Haha, same here! I love watching the Open.. I actually went a couple of years ago. There was also Alicia Molik but yeah, she's retired now. I'm going down to Melbourne for Christmas to visit family. Might bring something from prelim course for light reading, lol. And in case I get bored.

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ I know how you feel. We don't have a dux for every year though.. It really annoys me when people boast after they've kicked me in a test. I don't really mind them beating me, I mean, it's not as if I'm invincible. It's just that, yeah, they do tend to act as if they've...

I've always had one display folder for each year stuffed with everything - reports first, exams second, then assignments and finally notes at the back. Junior years didn't really comprise of much, so I found that one display folder was enough. For this year though, I had a display folder for...

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ Lol, yeah.. it's kind of sad to have this in common though. No one should have to go through it. I felt I worked my butt off for the SC too (yeah yeah, I know it's laughable being only the SC and all). I'm not so much bombarded with criticism, more so.. nothing. I...

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ Paradox, yet again, I'm practically in the same boat as you. My parents reacted quite like that.. I'm actually kind of pissed off about it. Even when I topped the grade in 5 subjects for my school report which we got back with the SC results yesterday, they just...

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ I'd love to swap my marks for all your band 6s, lol :p That said, congrats!

Lol, I was wondering how you knew! Mm yeah, the ranking is quite dismal here too.. apparently, we got the most band 6s this year since 2002-03 or something so that's a good thing. I agree - I don't really think the school you go to has much bearing on how well you do (unless it really is...

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ Congrats pwoh - you did very well! =)

I know! Everyone did so well!! It's going to be tight for the next two years :rolleyes: Aw, thanks. You did pretty well yourself! You were only one away from two band 6s - I think you should just count them as band 6s anyway lol.

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ I didn't realise until I'd come onto this site! Then I was kicking myself. Those are really good results - we got the same mark for english and the reverse for history and geo, haha. Same for maths too :uhhuh:

I'm sure you'll do great! Just a little longer to wait.. be sure to tell us how you go =)

Thanks! :D How did you go?
