Are you saying that if you do one of the professions mentioned at the end of your rant that justifies a smug attitude? To me that read as a kind of self-justification

not really, I mean it's only worth 15%, so that's really 7.5%. You don't know how other people faired yet either. It's 2 units out of 10, and if you do 11 or 12 and epically fuck up maths it'll just fade into irrelevance. I'd say there's still a chance of getting EDIT 99.95 (I'm stuck thinking...

How well your subjects will suit you will be based on your interests and capabilities. If you find maths relatively easy I advise trying 2 unit first and then dropping if it's too difficult, but there's nothing WRONG with those subjs

At my school it's the reverse, heh. you can bullshit all you want in an essay and get good marks, but in sciences and maths you have to learn the stuff well to do it and get good marks

People scoring in excess of 99 would largely go to selective schools because the competition drives them to excel. However, to get in they therefore need to be intelligent. Tutoring, really, will not dramatically improve the most brilliant students in my opinion- a teacher should be enough for...

Probably about right...A lot of people have the maturity at the age of 16, but any lower and I'd be adamant that most people would regret their actions...Of course, by lowering it the scope for child abuse would be dramatically increased

YOU DON'T NEED AN APOSTROPHE, JEEZ. That system's flawed imo, HECS is in place at special low interest rates to provide incentives to encourage people to pursue tertiary education, which is more a good thing than a bad thing. Personally I think youth allowance should stay largely as it is...

LOL I don't understand how you can listen to any music while studying, let alone metal; o,O. Maths is an exception, but when writing I could never listen to music, it distracted me. Though I think non-vocal music can work.

lol jeez my grade was like 140 people and that wasn't small

Oh right. Sorry I'm not thinking well tonight >.> Yeah 2010 hsc you can drop whatever you want just need 10 units, drop art, school can't stop you. Either that or make it difficult for them by doing deliberately horrible in it (no real risk because it wouldn't be counted in your ATAR if that was...

330? Seriously? That's huge... I've remembered now though. I think you have to complete 12 units for year 11, and seeing as the marks don't matter that much, I suppose either you'll have to change subjects or keep it and drop when yr 12 starts. There's no choice because for year 11 it's a...

is that because of a compulsory subject at your school other than english, say, SOR? if not that's kinda bullshit and they should let you drop

Getting tutoring is indicative of an inability to work independently; while you may seek it because you are stupid, this is far from being the rule. It doesn't infer less ability academically, it just infers a reliance on teachers to do well.

with those rankings yes 99+ is likely, with those marks maybe even 99.5+

no, but I'll always wonder if I could've done better elsewhere

o.O really? Hmm I didn't check that, but they don't offer arts/law? wow. Thanks guys. There seems to be divided opinion on which is better with UTS v. Mac though

Problem for me is that I'll beat almost everyone at my school, so if I even ask my friends I'll sound like a wanker...See? I even just did then. Kinda sucks when people are intimidated by you doing well =\

LOL oh man ours was complete bullshit. Centrepoint tower, right? Sounds sweet. Sure. We didn't get up until 7 30 pm, despite the fact it was supposed to start at 7. This was after two separate groups of people going up and then being turned down over the last hour for not having what were...

That could still be defamatory. Don't insult particular tutors, just criticise rationally the institution
