    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    Oi. That sounds pleasant :(. Meanwhile I keep telling myself I'm going to do this foundations essay but then I wake up at 2pm, have to leave for the Central Coast at 4 ... and that's really not going to turn out well for me :/.

    After 2011-13 Year 11-12 subjects will look like this:

    If the Modern syllabus is anything to go by the changes won't be great. I was reading it and thinking "okay, okay, okay, WHAT?" (more Aus history). And some of my friends doing ancient history at uni have been raging over the Ancient History syllabus because they think it's ridiculous. I...

    After 2011-13 Year 11-12 subjects will look like this:

    I reckon it's easier than 4U (lol at the conics stuff) but I'm concerned for students of potential 3U level. The methods syllabus looks weak so students of 3U ability will die of boredom in it, but thinking of people in my 3U class last year and some of the students I tutor ... I dunno, I think...

    After 2011-13 Year 11-12 subjects will look like this:

    Yes, I checked. And while it doesn't look like 4U inequalities are in the new syllabus, there might be some harder induction and circle geometry questions floating around. (ETA: But I'm not hopeful.) This is only the first round of development. They'll be uploading language, geography, arts...

    After 2011-13 Year 11-12 subjects will look like this:

    Really not keen on any of it. The Modern syllabus seems to be adding more compulsory Australian history as well ://.

    After 2011-13 Year 11-12 subjects will look like this:

    Looks like they will be including complex numbers, easy conics, mechanics, harder integration, vectors and graphing from the 4U course as well as adding matrices and statistics. So they're keeping a fair chunk of 4U.

    Passengers and alcohol

    If they're all over 18 it should be fine.

    What are people up to in terms of their topics finished?

    We finished towards the end of term 3 and there was loads of time for revision.

    So, exactly how hard is it?

    Yeah, you could probably try posting practice stuff here, in the Poetry forum for EE2, if you wanted to and if you have a thick skin. Be careful about the work you post though, as anything too angsty will be met with hilarity :). The Viva Voce is like a semi-structured interview, though the...

    YR 12 Jersey names...

    Our school gave us three choices: first name, last name or no jersey at all. The only variations allowed were for shortening of first names, eg Pat instead of Patrick (but not Loz instead of Lauren). Clearly my school was where the party was at.

    Seeking Advice[important]

    Do you have to drop a subject? You're coming 1st in IPT after all. Also, 4U maths aligns great. Obviously each school is different but I got 61% in my trial and maybe ~70% (at best) for my raw HSC mark and I ended up with a 90.

    So, exactly how hard is it?

    When you actually start your major work you can post it for viewing by other members and get constructive feedback. There's a few poetry communities online where you can post your work as well - one of them is All Poetry. The quality of reviews will depend on who ends up reading your work but...

    Easiest to hardest: integration polynomials graphing = volumes = complex numbers (gah vectors) conics mechanics harder 3u (induction was okayish but inequalities slayed me)

    Minor freak-out: How are we meant to remember EVERYTHING for Trials/HSC?!!?!

    I didn't take it quite this far, but I did flat out refuse to learn certain sections of the 4U syllabus because any marks I'd get from those questions in the exam wouldn't be worth the time it'd take me to do them. Gamble paid off very, very well.
