    Tell me about it. One of the things on this forum that just makes me cringe. It wasnt even funny the first time.

    How many days are typically spent at uni?

    mostly due to work - always could do with a bit of extra cash. plus for some of us the commute is horrible. i think 3 days is great though, you can still get involved in some extra-currics

    Chem textbooks

    imo conquering chem + chemistry contexts is best combo. but since you have jacaranda, jacaranda + conquering chem would still be a good combo. defs get it because it's always good to cross-reference facts and really no one textbook has it all. be wary of jacaranda going way too far into detail...

    RTA P's Penrith

    what do you mean there are 7 other months you can book your test? the bookings only go to like 1 or 2 months ahead of time. besides, if the gov't just allowed certified private firms to take care of driving tests there would be some incentive to keep up with growing demand for bookings, and...

    May be adjusting my course preferences soon enough

    order of deciding should go: course --> uni. depends on what you want to do as a career. nothing wrong with doing just b commerce by itself. no point of adding on the 4th year at uni if the extra degree won't work in your favour. what do people usually combine with comm anyway? economics? don't...

    RTA P's Penrith

    yeah man this happened to me when i wanted to book. lady on the phone said september - january is always an extremely busy period and they're almost always booked out. extremely frustrating tbh, but this is the sort of efficiency you get from government organisations. fortunately a few timeslots...

    "Student challenges ruling on her HSC"

    Re: (Old news just found) Someone please explain her logic. i think she cops more flak than she deserves, if she really did have the wrist problems she claimed to (doubtful though). it's not about the mark, it's about the principle. so are we not granting students the provisions they need...

    How many days are typically spent at uni?

    Is the average 3 or 4 days a week? I know it varies depending on the degree (I heard med and engo degrees are 5 days a week). I plan on studying combined Actuarial Studies at UNSW. Just need to know cos of part-time work. If anyone could comment their degree and the days spent at uni that...

    assessment mark fail

    naw man sit down with the teacher and ask where exactly you lost marks. attempt to justify your response. i don't know how lenient your school is with that sort of thing but i appealed a lot of my assessment tasks and received higher marks as a result for most of them. ignore anyone that calls...

    $20,000 Bentley/Nokia Phone

    i do think there's actually a market for phones for rich people, seeing as though most celebrities are still using common-people iphones. i just think this particular phone is atrocious, tacky, underpowered and hideous. why not make a super-powerful phone first, then start encrusting it with...

    Paid vs Volunteer

    i think he just meant that the skills acquired in a business stream aren't as noble as those gained in another field. a civil engineer will walk out with knowledge on infrastructure and buildings that are essential for civilization, a lawyer will walk out with knowledge of the legal system and...
