Then I guess that's the marvel of life. You keep trying things until you do. But I'd suggest that going for the easiest route/option in life may not always lead to satisfaction and fulfilment :)

I didn't find it to be a hard subject, but I put in the effort to do all the readings and exercises, and I saw it as an opportunity to learn/understand rather than just trying to memorise syllabus dot points/etc. ps. I've seen you post elsewhere on BoS - I'd suggest not just picking subjects...

I'm the opposite of Drdusk and I actually enjoyed IPT. I found of all the subjects I did during my HSC, it was probably the most useful in my longer term career in accounting (go figure). Being able to draw out a process flow chart, or understand how databases work, or how project...

The questions are very narrow even though you ask for a 1-10 rating, and even then, I felt they were very leading. Don't get me wrong, I understand what you're trying to achieve but I feel that the results may be a bit tainted given the way you've framed the questions. ie they didn't feel neutral.

Is this your survey? I don't think you'll get great responses or much meaning out of them given the way the initial questions are framed. They're extremely narrow/close-ended, and even though you ask for 0-10 ratings, the questions don't really lend themselves to that.

I find Quora too intrusive as it latched onto my role/experience and kept pushing relevant questions to me which I didn't want to answer publicly (or at least not with my title/company attached).

Housing prices are influenced by many factors both the nature of the dwellings themselves as well as the location. Location isn't just the quality of schools in the area/catchment zones (although this may be a key factor for some), but also things like amenities, public transport, access to...

Given the area, and how large a school it is, I don't see why they'd convert it to selective. Maybe a selective or acceleraed stream but I don't think they'd convert such a large school selective without opening up more high schools to replace the loss of capacity.

I agree that most advanced users should be able to, but I'd rather have an extra line of defence even if I lose a few % of my PC's performance. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have a material impact on either my desktop (3700X/64GB) or laptop (8750H/32GB). The Chrome OS experience however should...

I ended up ordering one this morning just for the fun of it all. I tried it in JB and whilst it wasn't blistering fast, it was snappy enough so I'm pretty happy with what I've ordered and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival in the mail. I appreciate there are Windows laptops in that price point...

No. But as others have mentioned, actively promoting/supporting the competition in say the interview may not give off a great impression.

I'm generally a heavy power user of my PC and Chrome (lol I even have 64gb of RAM because of Chrome?) but have been most curious about trying out a Chromebook just as a "spare" laptop or 2-in-1 which I can chuck around and not worry about breaking it or damaging it. Whilst I love my Razer Blade...

Signed up just to post that? LOL. Must be desperate..

IMO, and this might be the "asian parent mindset" in me speaking, keep visual arts as a passion/hobby rather than doing it for your HSC and feeling pressured to do it in a certain way. It's the same reason why I enjoy cars and gaming, but I'd never make either of those into a career since I...

Seeing that I've seen Op post in other threads about wanting to swap it for Visual Arts, I guess the question again becomes what do you actually want to do (in life) and what are you interested in?

I googled it and it sounds like it's really just another generic program to improve your employability and it's open to those who get an ATAR >98 (or less if you meet certain requirements). Whilst it sounds alright, honestly you'd probably get better chances by actually doing something...

Covers it again as well if you end up doing a CA where you still have to keep doing SWOT analysis!

Doesn't everyone just use QANTAS and BHP?

Same. I also found that business studies provided a much better general overview of various topics which you'd cover in significantly more depth in university (in a B Business or B Commerce degree).

Rather than repeat the above which is very well said, I would add that keep in mind uni economics is very different to HSC economics. I originally wanted to do Comm Eco but I’m glad I didn’t because I realised how quantitative it was in uni (ie numbers based). Unlike the HSC where it’s a lot of...
