    Subject you like/dislike most?

    We should write long, rambling essays to the Board of Studies about possible improvements that they could make to improve the HSC english course. We shouldn't have 'themes' for modules. Each term, we should just be given a different type of text to analyse (film, novel, poem, interview) and...

    Do the teachers in your school understnad the HSC system?

    My teachers are pretty vague about ATAR. Some of the things I've heard are, "if you have a cohort that does well at end of year exams, your external marks will be boosted up" "scaling doesn't matter" "it's almost impossible to get band 6 in 2 unit mathematics" "it's impossible to get band 6...

    Motivational stories for HSC 2010

    These kinds of stories make me feel complacent. So that I think if I get a bad mark I can somehow pull a miracle out of nowhere and still come top 5. Scare tactics work better.

    MQ russian, anyone on BOS?

    I didn't do the course at MQ but I tried Russian for a year at some local college and holy shit the grammar was abhorrent. Decided on a easier (and more useful) choice of Chinese instead.

    Yeah, that's his trademark, switching between time signatures with such ease. I think Donati's weirdest on is in 2116 where he's doing 21/16 or something. And in Ground Zero, he's playing 2 of them at the SAME time, 5/8 and 7/8. When I first heard it, I thought Donati was on 5/8 and the...
